Day 20 – Wednesday 27 January, 2010
This was taken several days ago when Jack and Charlotte came to visit Emily.
This morning Emily went along with Kath and Gary to Kath’s 18 week scan. The nurse wrote the sex of the baby on a piece of paper so Emily would get the news exclusively and be the one to pass it on. We received a very excited text saying, “I will be having a baby brother love from Emily”.
Yesterday Em had a hearing test as one of the side effects of the chemo can be hearing loss. The results were good and this will continue to be monitored.
Today Emily was able to spend a couple of hours at home with her family. They have returned to hospital for the night.

Hi team
What lovely news, hearing another gorgeous little Wooddin/Pluck boy is on his way!
We love your photos of you all, and your gorgeous smiles. Thanks for all the blog updates, they are great to read. What an awesome job of the yard team, it looks fantastic, and I bet a lovely suprise for you Kath and Gary!
I’m heading off to see Nichola and the girls this morning, going prepared with extra padding armour on, as Jorja and Sophia seem to think I’m either a trampoline or bean bag….to jump all over, hehe!
Hope your having a good day today.
Keep smiling, lots of love and hugs
Neil and Sharlene xx

Wonderful news for you all and so thrilled that Em was able to come home for a couple of hours. Although I know she would have been tuckered out I bet she enjoyed having some time out of the hospital.
Thinking of you all
