Well our munchkin is recovering really quickly after her surgery, which went very well. She was very uncomfortable for a few days and the drugs that they gave her in the hospital didn't suit her; so the first couple of days were very hard.
However, since she's come home, she's been very content, more content than she's ever been to be honest! She's smiling and chatting more than ever. That tube must have been making her miserable. Naturally her tummy is very sore since the surgery and the hole has been leaking and ooozing quite a lot. We're keeping her on pamol and that seems to be taking the edge off her pain. If we forget to give it to her, there are a lot of tears so she must still be pretty uncomfortable. But besides having to dress the wound and stuff, which were expected problems, it's been a huge success. She hasn't been getting sick much and she's started taking small amounts of solids already. Woo hoo! Roll on some fat!
Thank you all so so much for your thoughts and prayers. Hope you like the new photos and videos.

(Just a quick note if you have a slow connection, you need to let it load first for about 30 seconds: you'll see a pink line moving along underneath it, ahead of the video. If you’re not sure how to do this, just pause it and let it load, then work away. Otherwise, it will keep starting and stopping for you).
Lots of love, Car and Ger xxx
