Emily drew this picture of Smurfette on the magna-doodle – what an awesome artist!
Not much to report other than that Em is still managing reasonably well on her current pain relief regime . The morphine is giving her upset stomachs off and on. She can be feeling good in the morning and terrible in the afternoon, or vice versa. We still can’t plan one thing and even when we try sometimes we have to cancel shortly after making that day’s plans. So so frustrating. The only thing we know for sure is Em is going to have another sibling within the next couple of weeks! Something to look forward to. Em is generally happy when pain free. The other kids are all doing really well and the dynamics between all the kids at the moment are great. My gut tells me we are making all the right decisions for them and giving them all as much information about Emily’s illness as they need to know right now.

Hi to all you lovely Wooddins x
So close now, each day must have a “Will this be the day?” start!
Great drawing Emily, you’ll soon have a very tiny model to pose for you (probably sleeping, tho’!)
Have a great day today, hope the sun lasts as it’s so lovely to stretch out in.
I have been very much in touch with my inner kitty these past weeks!
Catch you soon.
Love and hugs XXxxxx*

Really super Emily, keep it up!!(your drawing )
Funny Katherine I came on here tonight to see if there was an update on the new baby…..obviously not…just yet anyway.
So pleased to hear Emily is more comfortable for now too, but sorry its still up and down with her sickness.Lets hope that part gets better Emily for you.
Emily you will be pleased to have your siblings home with you for two weeks….someone to play with when YOU feel like it.
Well GOOD LUCK guys for the arrival of your new bubba
everything seems to be in a better balance for now
for you to manage. Lets hope it stays that way.
