I am very pleased to report that the Harrisons completed the Kidney Wales 2k fun run in a time of approx 35mins, and, yes, we came last!! We had a fantastic morning though. Fraser ran the last half of the race very, very slowly! The paramedic on the motorbike had to ride in front of him as an incentive! The finish line was the same as the start line so we were about to get run over by the 10k runners who were about to start their race. Max Boyce was starting them off and gave Fraser a special congratulations as he came over the line (woohoo). We were so slow that we had to wait for them to find the medals cos they'd packed them away!!
One big surprise was that we got to go on an open-topped bus at the start line which Kidney Wales had put on for the kidney patients and their families to watch the 10k runners as they started. We got drinks and snacks, and it was really good to meet other parents and kids as well as some of the staff we knew from the hospital. One boy had just won a gold and silver at the transplant games in Gothenburg.
Medically wise, Ffion's creatinine seems to have levelled off at 82-83ish (normal being 30-60). She has a scan next month to determine more accurately the percentage of normal kidney function she has. That should then give the doctors a better idea of prognosis.
I've included some pictures from yesterday for you to laugh at!
