Transplant Day +58 - Recovery at Home - Aaah, we're still here!!!

Hi there Folks,


We hope this posting finds you all well. Welcome to all our new visitors to the blog especially to all the folks at the Sacred Heart Church in Warwickshire.


Well, although I didn't post yesterday it feels like ages since I've been here and I'm sure you all wondered where we were yesterday, it has been fairly busy time with Phoebe, particularly during the night and our little angel finally fell asleep around 1.45am this morning. Tiredness got the better of us yesterday and during the morning when Phoebe took her nap, Ade and I took the opportunity to have a catch-up on some sleep and it was well needed too!


Phoebe has been well really and we can see that she is starting to put on a little weight, we are more established with the machine feeding now and its going quite well now we are used to it. With the machine being portable this enables us to get out and about for walks. Not being able to get out all the time makes us appreciate the feel of the fresh air even more and it does Phoebe the world of good as she is buzzing with energy after. We walked for a while, taking our re-cycling and then popped in to see Margaret for a quick cuppa and she was so thrilled to see Phoebe's eyes popping out from under her blanket all tucked up in the pushchair. Its been a while since we visited Margaret's and Phoebe made herself right at home, she was so curious about around the different rooms and she remembered all the things she and Margaret talk about when we're there such as Sarah's huge cuddly dogs on her bed. It was great to see her so happy having a mooch around!!


Gary called from Rome yesterday as he is visiting there with Lisa and her family to celebrate her Mum's Birthday for the weekend, he called to say that he had just really enjoyed their visit to St. Peter's Basilica and found it quite overwhelming whilst saying a few prayers for Phoebe and Spirit Eleanor...Thankyou Gary xxx
Happy Birthday to Lisa's Mum and hope you are having a wonderful weekend.



So for today, we will keep it brief but to reassure you all that Phoebe has eaten really well today and in response to the many requests, here are some photo's of Phoebe taken over the last couple of days.









Here is Phoebe now taking her own temperature!!




Here's Phoebe's first audition for Joseph!!













Is there no end to her talents...an all round entertainer!












and finally....ready for bed...



'We are your angels and we shall love you throughout all eternity'


Much love
Lynn, Ade, Phoebe and Spirit Eleanor xxxx

It sounds like you've managed to get a bit of rest over the last few days -you are all doing so amazingly well - an inspiration to us all!
