Tuesday 10th MarMy Story.
In May 2021, when I was 11, I was taken by air ambulance from my home town of Albury down to the Royal Children’s Hospital. To start with the doctors didn't know what was wrong but during my two week stay i was diagnosed with an inflammatory bowel disease called Ulcerative Coilitis. I was in intensive care and had to have a blood transfusion. I started taking regular medication but in September 2024 the medicine stopped working for me. So I went back to RCH for another two week stay where the specialist tried two more types of medicine. It’s been a year since my medical infusion has been transferred to Albury base, and it has changed my life seeing as I don’t have to Melboune every 6 weeks.
My treatment involves regular blood tests and medicine infusion and as someone who has a phobia of needles, the thought was terrifying. Working with the wonderful nurses and child life therapy, we developed a plan to support me through the procedure. Now this has been put into place at Albury base.
Whilst I don’t know what the future will be for my condition, I do know that I can rely on and trust the nurses, doctors and volunteers at RCH to ensure I’m cared for, supported and looked after.
Thank you to the hospital and the amazing staff for doing everything they can to help me live a happy healthy life. I am forever grateful to those who look after me.
