    Thanks me! I'll definitely ask about the surgeon's glue and the drip in the foot. We see the hossy next Tuesday (24th) for the pre-op stuff.

    Went to the ENT Dr & Audiologist today and he'll definitely need gromits in his ears. They'll do it while he's under for the palate repair which is good. He still has fluid in his ears (had it since birth) so it will be good to get that sorted too. Then we might be able to establish what (if any) hearing loss he's got. He seems to hear us fine - so I'm not really worried about that.

    We're starting to have a think about what clothes to pack. I'll get an idea next week (I'm asking for a tour of the ward) of how cold/warm it is in there so I'll know what sort of clothes to pack. We've already decided not to push the cloth issue and just go with sposies while we're in there.

    We're already trying to think of toys to take to keep him entertained (but I'm worried because his favourite passtime is to put things in his mouth. ie: shape-o bits, blocks, etc) We'll take some books because he doesn't suck on them and can play with splints on ??? probably?? NFI really! Other than that - I'm stuck on what to take to keep him occupied!

    Thanks for your support guys. It's truly valued here (DH has been reading this thread too).

    Jodie - BB have had a clean-up and Kane's story seems to have gone! any chance of a re-write???
