Hi guys

First and foremost, ANGUS your KK is VERY VERY VERY sorry he has not sent you your present yet - it will be on your doorstep tomorrow in an express post satchel.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ALL THE BABIES I'VE MISSED. That means everyone is 1 now, right? Sorry for the vagueness, if we still have more to go feel free to slap me.

Blake had his grommets in, tonsils and adenoids taken out on Monday. The operation went well and was a success, until he started losing too much blood in recovery from his throat and had to go under another anasthetic to invesigate. He coughed as he was waking up, and popped a blood vessel. He lost a considerable amount of blood and swallowed alot too, having his stomach pumped to remove what they could plus what he lost out of his mouth and nose. The stopped the bleeding from the vessell, but he took about an hour to come out of the second general which was worrying. Because of the blood loss, they had to keep an eye on his haemoglobin levels, they were low but not low enough to need a transfusion which was on the cards at one stage.

He is slowly coming out of it - he is hardly eating or drinking, is a VERY drowsy little man and falls asleep often, but never sleeping longer than an hour at a time due to the pain. I am an absolute MESS and am lucky to have my mum looking after him while I work, although it is so so hard not being with him. All he wants is me and Dave (he smiled and waved at Dave as soon as he saw him, even before me or his father), and he slept in his arms from 3-7am this morning. I don't know what I'd do without Dave (even though some pretty crap things have happened, that's another story though), he has been my rock.

So sorry for the selfish post, but I just wanted to update on my poor little guy
