Amy saw the specialist yesterday. I was hoping for the all-clear, but he was rather reserved in his explanation of the results. He is still not happy with the coverage over the hip ball, but the calcification process of the ball and joint is more developed than the average for her age, so that is a plus.
He wants another x-ray in 4 months, and if the results are still the same it will mean a brace at night time, but not plaster like we did for Holly.
Dad had a shoulder reconstruction operation this morning and Mum tells me that all went well. He’ll be in hospital for a few days and off work for 2 weeks, but pretty much ok after that – ready for the China trip in September.
Had a great morning and lunch out with Rach today. She is off to South Africa on Friday and when she returns she starts full time work. Sad for me cause I have loved having her parttime availability! No more daily phone calls and luxurious shopping sprees/lunch dates. I’m sure she is going to make a fantastic Conservationist at the National Film and Sound Archive. Good on you Rach!
Amy is pulling down everything from the book shelf as I type this. She is such a messer. Her cheeks are bright red, she has a cold and I’m sure those top two teeth are going to break through any minute. Holly had school photos today and she showed me her two best smiles that she did in them. I’m hoping the one we get is of the missing teeth. Tooth Fairy came again last weekend – the second time she brings mush less money!
Ok, back to thinking about what to have for dinner. I’m so full from lunch though……:)
Yes it is exciting for Rachie about her holiday and new job. I hope you can still spend time with her in week ends Fran. I know your very close friends.
I wish all the best for Amy’s health checks. I really hope things go well and she won’t have to use the night time brace.
Glad you got to have a nice relaxing massge recently. I think every mum needs one of those at least once a week, don’t you! 🙂
I do hope your dad makes a full recovery from his operation. It sounds painfull but these days modern medicine is amazing.
Anyway time to go and get Amanda from school so I better dash. Have a great day and keep smiling Fran:)
PS: I’ve just updated my blog this morning if you wanted to read the current news.

Hey Fran, fingers crossed that Amy gets a good result and doesn’t need the night brace.
Now I have a request for your blog… more scrapping please 🙂 I need some inspiration, and I only get it from looking at other people’s efforts!
