No More Mr Nice Guy



Andy finally cracked and took his frustrations out on a poor defenceless bird... The swine!










Well, Anna fans, since our last post H.R.H has been in hospital TWICE.

The first time was during our trip to Scotland to visit Andy's parents. We took the opportunity to visit our great friends Charon and Dr G in Dundee and, following many, many bottles of Prosecco, (we were on our holidays!), had to take Anna to the local infirmary. We were only in for one night and managed to complete our three-centre breakaway with a night in Beadnell with my fab pretendy cousin, Michael, and then spent a lovely couple of days in Hartlepool with my sister and her children, Hugo and Georgie.

Anna has been discharged from the RVI today having been admitted on Sunday. She is really thrilled to be home. Her consultant has now said that she may be having her CT scan in the next couple of weeks and that they are going to take some cross section images of her lungs as he suspects that something else might be going on with her little body.

Her admission was a real shame as we had a wonderful time on Saturday celebrating Dendle and Margaret's Golden Wedding Anniversary near Sherwood Forest. Andy's sisters did a brilliant job of arranging things and we met lots of very funny, very warm relatives and friends of the family. Many of them have followed Anna's progress closely since her birth so it was lovely to introduce her to them at last.

Anyway, I have survived my first stint on an open ward at the RVI. Anna no longer has MRSA so we've lost our 'instant upgrade' to a cubical. All I will say is that having listened in to a couple of conversations I decided to hide my wallet in a wipes container in my suitcase! All human life is there, but Anna far preferred it to being shut away in a cubical.

I do so admire all four of you for your capacity to enjoy the happy things in your lives in spite of all the problems.

Hopefully the CT scan will be informative. The more things they find that can be put right, the easier it will be for Anna to cope with the things that she just has to grow out of.

By the way, I love Andy's Easter Chick! Is he going to carve an Easter Bunny to go with it?

Love, Sue xx
