The trachie came out midday Tuesday. At11:15a.m. Wednesday morning as I was walking back to the hospital from Central Wellington I got a call to say Amanda was being flown back to Nelson in 45 minutes, at midday!
I was 10 mins from Jess’ flat so rushed back, got my stuff and we both got a taxi to the hospital.
Amanda passed final medical clearance to fly and we both took an ambulance to Wellington Airport, then air ambulance for the 40 minute. flight to Nelson. By the end she was ‘knackered’ ( her words) but when I left at 5p.m. she was sleeping soundly in her home town.
