Transfer to the RCH

20/05/10:

It is day 2 of our family's journey of having a heart baby. This morning she was taken to the Royal Children's Hospital by NETS. She looked so tiny in such a big capsule and it broke my heart to have to say goodbye so soon. I was stuck staying at Monash Medical Centre until they decided I was ready to go. Luckily that happened in the afternoon and we soon got to join Raphaela at RCH. On our way there, our social worker from RCH rang and said they have a room at the Ronald McDonald House for us. This was fabulous news as it is just across the road from the hospital so to be so close was absolutely brilliant. We went and visited Raphaela and got many cuddles in although it was a bit scary with her two IV's. I was worried one of us would knock one out. At this point, she was still on a starvation diet as the doctor didn't want her having any EBM whilst she was on the Prostin.
