Elizabeth has been a little poorly again (the week before last), but we managed to keep her out of the RVI this time thanks to the out of hours doctor service (which is very good here I am relieved to report). The steroid tablets really help and she is much stronger than before. We have also been in touch with the dieticians at the RVI as madam has managed to stay the same weight since June despite having grown 6cm over the same period. Nev's one year old weighs more than Elizabeth now!
She is starting playgroup a couple of mornings a week next month and we are hoping that she will cope with that. Obviously, if she starts getting ill more regularly we will whip her out of there and cancel her place .
On a more positive note the photo above is from August and shows Elizabeth with her friend and fellow exomphalos baby Grace, who lives in Edinburgh. They are both little miracles.

PS: Elizabeth has a tan Judith Chalmers would be proud of on that photo. I would like to stress that the antibiotics she is on make her tan very easily - we haven't been basting her under a strong grill...
