Summers Getting Better

Both Me and Kathy are at home together for a full nights sleep together for the first time in over 2 weeks! And possibly the next 18 years! Our very good friend has is kindly spending the night at the hospital for us. Summer has had a good day and seems nearly back to her old self. Of course we've only known her 2 weeks but so quickly we got to know what she does and when enough to know something was seriously wrong 2 nights ago. I just remember how during her examination at the Royal she was completely non responsive to all the needles, poking, even the removal of a very large dressing from her back. An event that normally cracks windows!

But now Summer seems OK. She is on a 5 day course of antibiotics still and will probably be in hospital for the duration. We are so relieved. Once again our prayers for her to not have meningitis and be healed have been answered. Praise God for that!! Hopefully next week we will be able to keep to our appointments in Nottingham to put her recovery back on track. On Thursday she is to have a frog brace fitted to put her hips where they should be. She wont mind the embarrassment of resembling a frog and I'm sure her parents will get over it soon enough!!
