Gracyn had a check up at Hutt Hospital with Dr Leadbetter and passed every test thrown at her.Her PDA valve shows no sign of a murmer, which is great news and her blood test came back all clear and normal,So it was good news on Friday the 13th for us.
We took her for a visit to the SCBU to catch up with the staff, they could,nt believe how much she had grown in such a short time,and were impressed with her progress.
i have to go back to work next week and try and get some normality back in life.I have enjoyed the time off and the hands on approch with Gracyn,she has progressed so well and i can see the differance in her every day.She is our wee miracle and we love her to pieces.
Now we have Gracyn,s health sorted we have to get Angela rite,(as if she had,nt been through enough) as her Mutiple Sclirosis (MS) has raised its ugly head again leaving her with numb legs and a bit unstable on her feet.This makes her a bit unconfident to drive so getting Tegs to school and back may be a bit of a logistics mission.We will manage as we always do with great support and help from our friends and family.I supose this is just another mountain for us to climb, they seem to just keep comin and we keep on conquring them and i,m sure we will get over this one too.

They are treating Angela with some oral steroids but as we told the Doctors this is normally not effective and a intravenious drip method is normally better.So next week she will probably get this treatment and hopefully we will see some improvement so that Angela can enjoy her wee girl at home a bit more.

I have added some cooL photos of Gracyn,s first weeks a home "AIN,T SHE SOO CUTE"
