We arrived in Graz today, after a good flight over. The children did really well, considering they were in aeroplanes and in transit for almost 24 hours.
We kept Gemma on a constant feed of polycose water most of way here just to keep her blood sugars stable. This worked for the flight, but unfortunately her blood sugars have been low since then. She was admitted into the hospital today instead of on Sunday, so she could be closely monitored. Although I am glad that she is in hospital, where the nurses are very professional and friendly, I do feel very dispondent as the only people who are monitoring her is ourselves, and we are the ones making the decisions regarding her blood sugars. The doctor who admitted her today, briefly in passing, told me that now is not a good time for her to be tube weaned........well.....before I give up all hope, I will wait to hear what Prof. Dunitz Scheer has to say. I just cannot believe that we could be led this far to get her weaned off her tube, and then it all comes crashing down. Anyway, on a positive note. We met an amazing family today from PE. Brene, Rob and Tayden, and the weather was really lovely. Tayden has just finished his program and has been successfully weaned. To follow his story, please go to www.tayden.weebly.com. Brene and Rob took us under their wing from the moment they met us. They showed us the ins and outs of the nearby area, and took us to the guest house where Michael and Bryce are staying. I was in a complete state today, with Gemma's blood sugars being low and she vomited again, they both just came to the rescue. Having followed their story with Tayden for some time, it felt like we have known them forever. Thank you guys, and thank you to Jill Long for all the advice you gave us whilst we were preparing for the trip. Her son is Jason, who finished his program a few weeks ago. To see his story please go to www.jasonsjourney.weebly.com. We won't have access to facebook until we get our own computer up and running, so we would just like to thank everyone for all the messages that we have been able to see via email. Just to end off with a funny: Gemma's new phrase is "What on EARTH, what are you doing?" Bryce often hears Gemma singing Do-Re-Mi so when he wants to hear it he says "Do raining" in his very cute Bryce voice.

Thanks for the interesting tale, although it did take quite a long time to complete reading. (English isn't my national tongue) Could I enquire where you received your sources from? Thank you!

Satisfying posting. It would appear that plenty of the stages are depending upon the originality aspect. �It�s a funny thing about life in the event you refuse to accept anything but the top, you very often get it.� by W. Somerset Maugham..
