Celeriac and Smoked Salmon

Summer and I have escaped Leicester for the weekend as Nic and his brother are replacing the bathroom and we thought that the less people around the better. So we are in Newcastle with my friend Nat. Those of you who have been following the blog for ages may remember we came up to stay with her the weekend after the 20 week scan.

Summer and I have had a lovely time. Nat has a dog called Poppy and Summer thinks she is very funny. |I have never seen her giggle as much.

 Summer and I have been very cultured over the weekend. We had lunch at the cafe royal in Newcastle where Summer experienced celeriac soup and smoked salmon, both of which she enjoyed, she was not very lady like about it, but we are working on that! 

We return tomorrow to see what the bathroom looks like and to attend Summers Physio session. She can now get herself from lying to sitting which is great...except when trying to change nappies!

Oops, a late update

I just remembered that I haven't let you know how the orthopedics appointment went. Good is the answer. He confirmed again that Summer has a good ball and socket which is the complicated bit of the hip. The problem looks like its with the femur being twisted. Anyway hes happy as things are so we have at least another 3 months before any intervention.

He did say that Summer's hips are weird......but in a good way. Well take that as a compliment!

Back from Wales

We got back yesterday from a very relaxing time in Wales. We have not been to South Wales before and were pleasantly surprised. Here is a couple of photos apparently showing the worst weather so far this winter according to the BBC, they seem to have got it wrong again much to our gratitude!!

We have an orthopedic appointment tomorrow, we will see what he thinks is best now after having time to think about things after the cancelled surgery last year. We have had a really quite time relatively with her hips out of a brace and much fewer appointments. This will probably mark the beginning of a new round as they decide what will be best for her.

As you can see here though she is doing just fine as she is!

Her first holiday

Very quick blog, as it is well past my bed time, have been setting up an on line shop, not convinced it is any quicker than going and doing it for real.
We are on holiday, off to Wales for a week. We booked a cottage which looks great inside, which is important in wet and wonderful Wales, hopefully should be really good.

Summer saw her neuro consultant who did the op for the excess fluid on er brain and he is please, will see her in a years time and then only if we want him to which is great news. I took her for some casts of her feet today to make some splints so the pysio can get her standing in a frame to help her hips. The orthotist says they are the smallest ones he has ever made, I got to choose the colour, she has pink and purple buterflies, I could have had teletubies, but did not realy want them.
apologies for the spelling, I really am VERY tired. Bon nuit.
