Here are Meg and Bryn on the slide at the park
and Guy, Charlotte Affleck and Meg on the deck.
We are still waiting to hear when our next hospital appointment is. In the meantime Guy is in good form. He wonders why he has to go back into the highchair... but you get the idea...
Lots of good news and things happening the week - beautiful Bella from Wellington gets to go home tomorrow from Starship. Her mum, Maxine, and I went to the movies on Saturday night to see Second Hand Wedding. It was a great watch. We'll keep in touch and hope they have a great trip home. Bella might get to have her 1st birthday party after all.
Heart Children have their appeal on (fantastic cause if you are looking to give) and you may remember I mentioned the heart stopper plunge where you have to get into an icey bath or pool for 5 minutes. I'm delighted to say the Auckland event is over subscribed so there is no room for another team... maybe next year!
They have other fundraisers including the heart kids who do the last 5 kms of the Round Taupo challenge... yes, those littlies who always blat past me on the final stretch. I think we might put a team or two together this year and raise some cash. Let me know if you are interested in cycling or sponsoring.
Heart Children also have a family day this Sunday which we will go to to meet some other parents. Unfortunately there are no other families with Cardiomyopathy registered in Auckland, but we all have the dickie tickers in common.
We've been hearing about some amazing research which is going on and, in talking to the Heart Children co ordinators, medical solutions to children with heart problems has improved enormously. I'm keen to get into non traditional medical areas to work with the drugs to give our wee man the best possible outcome. All ideas welcome!
On a more personal front - congrats to Monty and Sarah, such great news and we look forward to seeing the ROCK! Cee and Pete Motion are almost home - yah! Have a safe trip back. Can't wait to see you.
