Meeting Eli

I have been waiting to write on the blog as I wanted to upload some photos, but never seem to get them time.
Summer seems to be over the infections etc, although we have brought forward an appointment for Nottingham just to be on the safe side.
We went to Newcastle last weekend to stay with a good friend and to meet Eli and his mum and dad. Eli has Spina Bifida as well, he is a very cute 13 week old and God is doing amazing things with him as well. It was lovely to meet the family. There are not that many children out there with this condition, so it is good to have contacts.
Its not long until baby two arrives, I am finding carrying Summer a bit of an issue at present due to my ever expanding size. We are not ready, but are you ever?
Summer is growing up, getting lots of words and making her wishes known. Slightly confusingly she uses the word "up" if she wants to go up and down, so we have to guess which it is!

Will try and put picture of Summer and Eli on soon.

THE END OF A LONG WEEK!

Summer is tucked up fast asleep in bed, no temperature and seems to be back to her normal self, which is great.
We spent the week in and out of hospital mainly trying to get the right antibiotic to treat her infection. She also has managed to get a nasty cold which I now have and Nic had a stomach bug...! So we are a little tired, but life returning back to normal.

One positive of this week is that we are now plug free! ( thats a dummy, or pacifier to normal folk) We are having a few broken nights, but it seems to have worked.

Summer and I are off to see some friends in Newcastle in a few weeks including a little baby who also has Spina Bifida. His mum has just told be he has started to smile, which is so exciting, it reminded me of just how far we have come. I remember praying so hard for Summer to smile and God answered that and so much more than we could ever have imagined.
