Really Good News

Monday had the potential to be a really bad day but it was completely the opposite. Summer head size is now returning to normal for her age showing she is absorbing the extra fluid in the 3rd ventricle really well. Well done Summer!!!

Also one of her hips is now fully relocated and back where it should be and the other is just on the cusp of being in as well. The brace will stay on for the mean time but the likely hood of need a body plaster cast are dropping. An obvious relief.

We are able to remove the brace for a short period to give her a first bath!! We cant wait as flannel washing is jut not cutting it all the time. They have changed her brace which has helped the smell a bit!!

What an answer to prayer this has been. Thank you everyone who has supported us. There will be more set backs no doubt but this is a high point celebrated well last night with a little bubbly!

Will definitely take a piccy of the first bath to upload here soon!

Hi Kathy & Nic, Peter & I have just heard the news of Summer's birth and medical problems from your parents, Kathy and have brought ourselves up to date by reading your blog. What an inspiration you are and what a beautiful daughter you have. May God continue to be your rock and hiding place in the times ahead. Quite coincidently our business supports ASBAH as one of our charities and knowing about you and Summer makes it more worthwhile.

God bless all three of you

Hi to the 3 of you!
I have been following your story since your 'first' (looking forward to September!) appearance in PP.
Became a mommy for first time myself in October, a little boy, and just wanted to let you know that you are all in my prayers & furthermore, that you are shining examples of a family with their faith firmly in God.
I believe that God only gives his most special babies to the most special parents, whom He knows will be able to take amazing care of His little Angels.
