  • Hello W

    Glad to hear she's improving and hopefully she will get home soon. How old are your children now. Time passes so quickly.
    Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.
  • Thank you EH x

    Thank you TF nearly 11, nearly 9 and 5. Time does go so quickly. DS is in his last year at primary school which makes me kind of sad.

    It's good that you've got a lot of things already in place and I'm sure the fact you're so on top of everything makes the decision to discharge little one easier for them as well - obviously as long as she's well enough to go home.

    I'm sure DD will be fine at her event and knowing you're there cheering her on will be a massive boost for her. Hope you all enjoy yourselves. xx

  • Thank you :) Really hoping to be home tomorrow. We will have to come back everyday until the antivirals and the if antibiotics end. But still be nice to get in our own beds.

    Busy day today.

    School went well DD did brilliant!
