It's Alistair here. I am pleased to say that Katy and Emma were reunited again this afternoon at Great Ormond Street. I would have posted a photo of the occasion, but Emma was a bit publicity shy for once. It's been quite a day.... Emma had an Ultrasound scan this morning which clearly showed the new kidney doing it's job perfectly. She has also had to get out of bed a few times today to be weighed and make use of the commode - which they are very pleased about!! I went across to Guys to fetch Katy this afternoon. When we finally got back to GOSH there wasn't a single wheelchair to be found in the whole hospital so we had to walk very gingerly to Victoria ward. This slightly spoilt the great reunion because Katy is really in no fit state to be walking anywhere. However, we managed it and Katy and Emma were delighted to see each other again - so they could play "who's got the longest scar" (Katy) and "who's had the most lines inserted in them" (Emma 7!).
They have both had such a busy day that, as I type this, Emma is fast asleep on her bed, and Katy has gone across to the patient hotel to sleep as well.
I am sure they will both be feeling stronger and fitter tomorrow as the next stage of their recovery begins. Thanks for all of your lovely comments.
Keep blogging.
Al - a tired but very happy husband / dad.

Hi all, great to hear you three have all finally been reunited. The BB nativity went well. Made sure Greg's headdress was put on properly-as the band to go round his head was round his neck when I got there!! Both Meg and Greg were looking happy. Mind you Katy was a little concerned when your mum said you had gone off chocolate-what's going on? Am sending you some positive chocolate vibes!!
ReplyDeleteHope you all have a good sleep. Take care
love to you all

Hi Katy, Kathy and Chaley here- of all the time to have computer problems. My mum and dad had to read the blog to me over the phone!! Never mind all good now. Reading all about everything that has happened is just so amazing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. I am sure now you and Emma are back together and you can see how well she is doing then your recoveries will really take place. Much love K and C. Ps will be checking each day from now on, so keep us posted with the exciting news. PPS Loved the Christmas cards we got this morning.Thanks- how did you have time to organise that???

Wow! What a fantastic blog for those of us who have been praying consistently for Emma, Katy, you and your other children since Roz told us about her illness.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many people out here that you don't know whose lives you've touched and who care about your family.
I can't imagine what it has been like going through it as Emma's parents, but having three of my own I can only guess it's been excrutiating. I'm so happy that you're all one step closer to getting home after such a long journey. Please remember your family is an inspiration, good has and will continue to be brought out of it, and you will always have the prayer support of hundreds if not more. Well done to you all! xxx Kimberly Spicer
