A drop of blood and a lot of bottle!!!!

Who would have thought it, the power of the red stuff, haemoglobin!! I had forgotten that haemoglobin affects that amount of oxygen in your blood (science lessons from years ago), not enough makes you run out of steam. Athletes train at high altitude where oxygen is rarer so when they come down to sea level they run that much faster.

 My Mlg’s haemoglobin became low, she couldn't make enough herself and had been starting to go pale, sickly like a child with cancer.  Within hours of getting a transfusion of the red stuff she was back up to full steam, so much to so that just a few hours after getting back from the hospital, we visited Adventure Island theme park. Adi chose to go on the Choo Choo Train (nice), was encouraged to go on the Flying Jumbos (I chickened out), a touch of the Big Wheel was to follow, and then out of the corner of my wife’s eye she spied … the Kiddi Koasta and pointed this out to Our Little Girl. I’ve dived with sharks in Australia, parachuted out of planes in Peterborough and motorcycled to Mt Blanc BUT roller coasters don’t do it for me. Yet my 2.5 year old little girl wanted and insisted we go on the Kiddi Koasta, so all four of us went. The kids loved it and wanted to go again, the adults errrr, wanted to go home. Mlg got a lot of bottle with that bag of blood. Love life, love life to the full!!!  Who would have thought?
