A Chocolate-less Easter

Fergus arrived back in again first thing the next morning and was delighted to see I was doing better. After he went back to work, Mum, Yvonne, Avril, Leona, Fr Rob and Dee all took it in turns to sit with me in the Special Care Unit for a little while. It was Easter weekend so there wasn't much going on around the hospital. I was craving white chocolate so Dee went and got me my favourite - white chocolate mice! Unfortunately I was still not allowed to eat or drink anything but my wonderful family decided to eat them for me! And there's the photos to prove it!!!

Even Avril joined them in eating my chocolate!

Leaving none for poor ikkle me!!!

By Easter Sunday, they were finally allowing me to have a "light soft diet". I'm not sure which was worse - the fasting, or the food! Below is my first meal - an Easter Feast!

I was allowed back to my own room Sunday night and it was then that the visitors started coming in their droves! Cillian brought me in a massive bag full of easter eggs that he had collected on his egg hunt! Avril, Leona, Liam, Karena, my Godmother Brid and her husband Gerry came to visit from Meath, Mum, Dad, Tony, Yvonne, Leonie and Mick, Dee, Ray and the kids visited, Fionnguala and Eimir, Adrian and Carmel, Ella, Patricia, Trish and Ger from work came, Charlie, Mary Darcy, Fr Rob...and many more! It was lovely to feel so cared for and loved and it definitely expedited my recovery!

My Godmother Brid asked me if there was anything she could do to make me feel better. Big mistake!!!! Having visited her in Meath last year, Fergus, Ciara and I went on the Cu Chullan rollercoaster - the biggest wooden roller coaster in Europe apparently. It was scary! I remembered Brid absolutely refusing to go on it at the time - so I made her promise to do something for me... You guessed it... she is going to join me on that rollercoaster! We haven't made it there yet...but it's only a matter of time! Thanks Brid - you definitely cheered me up! x
