Jo - Sorry about your Nan. That must be really tough. Amazing how much joy Sammy can bring her though, that must have been a beautiful but heart-wrenching experience.

Louise - Hope Maria has calmed down a bit for you.

Where is everyone today?

We went to the paed surgeon today. It's an hour and a half drive each way and Lucie was an absolute angel. She slept half way there and then babbled the rest of the way, we had a nice walk and lunch and play in the park before our appt and then she slept the entire drive back. It was great because it was just me driving. Anyway, she's having her op next Tuesday - just a few hours in hospital which is great. She has gas to knock her out and a local anasthetic and the op itself doesn't sound too bad at all - yay!
