Today, Joni-Mai had her VAS-CATH fitted. She went into theatre at midday and was anaesthetised just before 1pm. The mini operation took less than an hour and Joni-Mai was back on the ward not too long after 2pm. When she woke up, in recovery, she was groggy and not very happy that Charlee (her favourite nurse) wasn't there to take her back up to the ward. Once back on the ward, she was eager to eat and drink - she hadn't eaten since 6pm last night - and so we encouraged her to do so. A few biscuits and some juice later and she was ready for a platelet transfusion (platelet information, here). Shortly after the transfusion, she started to feel sick - the nurses thought she may be having an adverse reaction to her platelet transfusion. After some piriton and some codeine, she fell asleep for a while.
When she woke from her sleep she had a visitor (Uncle Eddie) and had a party to get ready for!
Joni-Mai spent the evening - only 2 hours after returning from theatre - partying the night away. She danced, sang, ate and mingled with the stars! She had an awesome evening and shocked so many people because she had a VAS-CATH in her groin - which can be very uncomfortable - and was dancing and bouncing about like there was nothing wrong with her! She even met Dick & Dom!!
