Prayer request

We have had a slightly hospital based weekend and week. We rushed summer into A&E on friday night as she was being really sick and then very lethargic. Once again cannot fault the NHS on its emergancy care for kids.
After staying a night it seems like she still has a urine infection that has not been cleared up despite lots of antibiotics, so at the moment she is back at home with us on yet another one with a high temperature. I have to take her back to the hospital tomorrow.
So request is firstly that Summer will take her medicine( i have tried putting it in yogurt, but she knows!) as if she does not they will have to give them through her veins.
Secondly that it would not indicate a more serious problem with her bladder and kidney functions.

Thank you.

Gifts from God

I have a second to reflect this morning as Summer got up too early and has gone back to bed ( for how long I do not know).
I have been happily plodding through the week, giving little thought to the things that have been provided the last few weeks, some seem really small, but all I believe are answers to prayer.

1) Summers Physio. We are getting a new one in Jan and I am getting weekly sessions for a while, both of which I really wanted but did not think we would get!
2)Our Drs surgery which we had some issues with including access has now got sliding doors and the really nice christian docter has returned to work.
3) We really needed a new car to fit a double buggy in but could not really afford to replace ours. At church one was advertised which should be perfect for us!
4) With the car, we now have an off road double buggy, which is HUGE, but should make pushing Summer when she is bigger so much easier.

All little things, i know, but all of them we had prayed about and have been provided.

Summer in Greece

We have returned from a fantastic week on the island of Paxos. Great location, weather and food. Summer had a fantastic time in the sea, learning to throw pebbles and expanding her volcabulary, Ello being the latest word, I am hoping to change this to Hello, but I might have to work hard at this.

This holiday was timed very well, the island is really steep and Nic carried Summer in a back pack, whilst I waddled up the hills. I cannot see us going back there in the near future, as friendly as it was, the north pole is probably more wheelchair accessable! I am really greatful that we got to go when we did.
