Thank you ladies. She's such a positive little character, I'm sure she'll take it all in her stride.

Best wishes to you all.
I hope your GD and her mummy both make a speedy recovery.

Enough! - you must be so frazzled by all these worries. Let us hope that with your DD on the mend and the surgery about to go ahead for DGD your life will take a turn for the better. I do hope so.

Maggiej sounds like your family have been through a lot recently. Congratulations on your new grandchild and my best wishes for your DD and GD.

I wish your grand daughter a successful operation.

You truly are an amazing family raising the funds for your DGD operation.

I hope that your DD makes a full recovery and you are all able to enjoy a lovely family life with your DGD and her baby sister.

Well done mj - I remember your original post. All the best for your granddaughter.

My very best wishes to you all, TheMaggiejane1. Your family has certainly been through the mill lately. Surely you've had your fair share of troubles and everything will go well for you from now on.

Rooting for you and your family mj Hope that life becomes easier for you all.

My best wishes to you all

Thank you for all your kind wishes, she went down to surgery at 7.30 and the operation takes 6 hours so it will be a long morning. I'm staying at my daughter's to look after their 12 year old and there are lots of things I could be doing but I don't seem to have got myself moving at the moment! Must keep busy, must keep busy!

It will be a very long 6 hours indeed Maggiejane but try to focus on the fact that it will be over soon and then hopefully life can start getting back to normal (whatever normal is? I often wonder) . Do try and keep busy but don't forget to sit down, have a cup of tea and relax. You will need your strength for the days ahead. Do keep us posted. I do hope your DGD's op goes very well. Best wished to all.

We'll sit with you Maggie and keep you company. (I know about long hours with a child in surgery).

Thank you grannyknot, that brought tears to my eyes. I've walked into town and back and there's a pile of ironing I should be attacking but can't seem to find the energy. Oh it's such a long 6 hours and she went down an hour late apparently!!

Well, I've heard from them at last. She's out of surgery. They have had a difficult hour in recovery with her, apparently, she was in pain and was very frightened, which is unlike her as she's usually very calm about things. Anyway she's calmed down now so they can start to relax a bit. She's got to lie on her back until Monday! When physiotherapy consists of sitting up apparently. A few tricky days coming up I fear.

In spite of that difficulty you must all be very relieved it is over.
Good wishes for a steady recovery and a successful outcome for her.

It can be scary in recovery for a little one - she will have been confused and her brain will have been a bit addled from the GA. But she will forget all that once she is truly on the mend - not long now; this is the most difficult bit, and it is nearly over.

Further update! She timefaced me and her brother last night! She had eaten lunch (lying down!) and she was really excited about showing her brother her 'wee bag'. Lots and lots of physiotherapy ahead but such a relief that the actual operation is over. Thank you for all your supportive messages.

It is remarkable how quickly children recover. Such good news.

maggie I think it's "facetime" ? (but easily done). It did make me smile.

Great that it's all behind all of you and she is on the mend.
