Elizabeth is two

Elizabeth is two - something which, for obvious reasons, is an extra special celebration for us. We held a lovely little party this morning and I hope you enjoy the photos. The group shot features Chloe, Elizabeth, cousins Ruby and Ted, and Evie (daughter of our friends Karen and Sean). The shot should also feature Elizabeth's only friend, Eve's sister Ruby, but she ran off before we could capture her image for prosperity!

Elizabeth received lots of lovely cards and presents. Thanks to everyone who sent them. Proper 'thank yous' will go out this week.

Good news!

Hi,

I'm pleased to say that Elizabeth was discharged late this afternoon! J had to wait in the room all day as Dr O'Brien was called away on an emergency and therefore couldn't assess and discharge Elizabeth until then. There was a lovely reunion when we got home - Elizabeth walked in and cuddled Chloe with a huge grin on her face! She was delighted to see her lovely Grandma and Grandpa too - who have been an enormous help here over the last few days.

Looking forward, Dr O'Brien did say that he'd be very happy for us to go ahead with our Italian holiday at the end of this month - hurray! - and we're still planning to visit our lovely friends Susie & Heath near Worcester this weekend. Plus, we hope, the Brucie bonus of meeting Elizabeth's fiance Seth and his parents who live in that neck of the woods. We've conversed with Claire & Fran on the GEEPS forum for a long time; they've been stalwart Elizabeth supporters and regular posters on this blog!

Off to bed now - happy!

Looking better

Hi,

Elizabeth's still in the RVI... Monday night she needed oxygen and a nebuliser, much as expected; consequently J had a dreadful night as the alarm on the sats machine kept beeping! However last night was much better and Elizabeth didn't need oxygen at all. So fingers crossed, she might be sprung from hospital today... I'll keep you posted!

Luckily my Mum and Dad arrived yesterday en route back up to Scotland, and are able to stay on for a few days. That's a massive help as they're able to do the school runs for Chloe and generally keep our spirits up!
