Wednesday - first blog from Janie

Hi,

I've discovered that the hospital library offers free web access. Yippee!

I've just had another long visit with Anna (while her father picks Ella up from school and takes her to pop dance) and she's still having a great day. Her catheter is out, she is far less doped up - her time as a morphine fiend looks like it may be shortlived - and she is acting altogether much more like a normal baby (grabbing her ears, trying to pull all her tubes out etc).

Uncle Ed came to visit this morning, having been refused entry on Sunday as Anna was so poorly.

Thanks very much for your Blog comments, cards, flowers, texts and so on. They have been enormously appreciated.

Andy, Ella and I are going to spend another night in Crawford House, which is a special facility run by the Sick Children's Trust for families. It is far nicer than our house and it has been lovely having all four of us in one place, although Ella likes to keep her visits very short.

Janie
