This is a nice picture of Reegan...at the hospital...


Just a while before this, we had the worst scare of our life! He had a fall....and had a moderate concussion. I will always remember how he looked like...seemed to be in so much pain...but he could not cry out...his colours were gone....

We knew we had to charge to the hospital...we just couldn't think of anything else. We asked where the nearest hospital was..and great, it was within walking distance. We literally ran there, as if the enemies soldiers were right behind us. We kept calling his name throughout the run. Meredith was good catching up with us.

Just about 5 minutes later, we arrived at the Boxhill Hospital, right at the emergency department. We could hardly stay calm. But we did. By then, Reegan had returned to the correct state...and his colours were back...we were relieved but still very worried about what had happened.

Anyway, all is well now...he was placed under a 4-hour observation and he did very well.

He is all good now...

All cheery, all exploring and all chatty....that's Reegan!

So here we go...done with all the shifting, packing unpacking, cleaning and buying....We're now comfortable and happy in the new place. The garden is great for the kids...although the weeds are a bit tall and sturdy, and Reegan venturing into it looks like he is exploring the forests. But they loved it anyway!

The most expensive part is definitely the piano, how it got plunged down, literally. The movers decided to use the crane this time round, rather than climbing down 9 flights of stairs. And that cost me a whopping $1k to do it...

Nonetheless, everyone has got more space, the place is quieter, traffic is better... and the neighbours....a bunch of retirees mostly, is looking very helpful and friendly!
