“She’s powering”
December 31st, 2007 by webmaster
Worldwide clocks are ringing, fireworks are lighting up the sky and there is merry cheer in abundance.
Upstairs in the Clancy Ward, Poppy is making a bigger bang than the combined effort of the best pyrotechnic makers put together.
Today’s SMS reads “She’s powering. Walkin to toily. No painkillers, she’s gained bady fat and lost tummy fluid weight. Losin drips and lines daily, I reckon the drain’ll go this week. Staples out tomorrow.”
So she is up and getting active. The swollen tummy is shrinking, the IV drips are being removed, the morphine has been turned off and perhaps the drain that is removing excess fluid from her chest will be taken out sometime soon. The staples that are keeping her little chest held together since the surgery are about to come out.
As Wend says, “She’s powering.”

Hi to Poppy and your whole family,
I read about you in the news, because I receive automatic reminders about liver transplant stories through my email.
Our little girl Rose was also born with biliary atresia. She had a very tough struggle in hospital for most of her first 18 months of life. She’s now incredibly healthy, thanks to the decision of her donor’s family.
You are a beautiful girl, Poppy! I wish you every happiness. This is a great blog!
Regards from Melbourne,
