A potted catch up

Well it has been a while and I have lots to say but very little time, so here goes.

1. Been to see dietitian - Joel is now on meat!!

2. Saw Cardiologist - hole smaller compared to his heart size. Still on medication and still need to see her, she hopes it will close, won't operate whilst still a chance of it closing. A real miracle.
3. Developmentally, Joel is a little behind, but making real leaps and bounds. We are trying to teach him to clap but he is more interested in doing his own thing! (Is that a Jamie or Julie-Ann trait?)

4. He still has sticky eyes- been 3 weeks now, but nothing they can do for him.

5. Emily got her place at Nursery for Sept. Our childminder has given birth to a healthy little girl and will be able to return to work to look after both our children.

6. I am visiting work tomorrow to find out what I am doing when I return on May 18th.
7. Jamie is busy co writing a book for a company called Rising Stars, with his colleagues at work. ( My husband the author of a maths textbook!)

8. Our vegetable patch is blooming and growing and benefiting from the mixture of sun and rain.

9. Been to a history lesson at Dunham Massey; they did a living history day on the Nifty Normans. Emily got to cheer on the dragon until it was stabbed by St George- she didn't get it. She had a go at archery and enjoyed the story teller too.

Eifion - are you proud of us waving the Welsh flag?

10. Life is busy - Joel's Dedication is coming up in 3 weeks, lots to do, but all well.
11. Emily has made a cuckoo clock out of a cheerio box as she wants to win a Peppa Pig Competition. I think she will be heart broken if she doesn't win.

Thanks for all the prayers, letters, cards, visits etc. Joel is a miracle, a work in progress and hopefully one step closer to being better. Thanks be to God.
