Robs and I are pleased to report that Little Poppet's been better over the weekend. Her haemoglobin is back up to a nice, high level and her CRP back down into the normal range. When we went in this afternoon, the Registrar had set up the utlrasound machine to perform her heart scan, however before he could have a look he was called away to deal with a more pressing matter. Hopefully we'll get some good news re: Lucy's heart duct tomorrow. Otherwise, her gases and breathing were sound, and she was looking pretty in pink.

This is as good a time as any to acknowledge all the people who've supported us through the last few weeks. Robs and I are extremely fortunate to be surrounded by such a caring and loving group of friends and family who have been there whenever we've needed anything. We've had people offer to cook us meals, offer to look after Oscar, offer us beds to sleep in close to King Eddy. We've been so overwhelmed by the amount of txts, phone calls, facebook messages and emails that at times we don't quite get around to responding individually to everyone. And, although our journey's been a hard road and it's only just beginning, we're both comforted by the fact that people near and far are holding Lucy in their thoughts and prayers. So to everyone who's done anything for us, from sending us a one line written message of support, to taking care of our first-born for hours at a time, we say, with the deepest sense of appreciation and respect, thank you.
