Thank you everyone for your good wishes for the forthcoming baby, and concern for my grandson. He has been a bit miserable today - hardly surprising with a huge incision and still connected up to a drip and other bits of equipment - but he did manage to sit up and eat some ice cream so I think he is on the mend. We are just so grateful that, worrying though it has been, this should be the end of his problems.
Morgana congratulations on your new grandchild and hope your son is doing well.
Our problems seem nothing compared to the events in Manchester, where we used to live, and hope no one here had friends or relatives caught up in that dreadful atrocity.
