murph, we must have posted at the same time No tears here lovely. I'm sad she has this hurdle in front of her, but she is loved, and she WILL communicate - she might not be a chattering box but I bet she'll write as much as her mummy and be expressive and as kind as you and DH.

its only one small part, albeit a improtant one for those who have it, but she will never know and she will make up for it in so many other ways. not only that, the developments in science thesedays means she will have the world open as her oyster like all others bubs born today...

Big hugs for the times ahead lovely. We all know what a strong woman you are and what a wonderful man you have by your side.

I was soo moved by your words about your DH. what a lucky man you have, you both obviously adore each other.

glad mossman were able to make it up to you a bit for cairns' rubbish care.

with love! to you all oxox
