We received a call from Southampton earlier today and now
have a date for Jessica’s Fontan procedure.
Jessica will be going in to hospital on Wednesday 8th November and will
have her surgery on Thursday 9th November. She knows that we now have a date
for her “sleepover at the doctors” and is quite excited about it, bless her.
Mummy and Daddy are rather less excited but it helps that Jessica is taking it
in her stride!
We have arranged that Sophie will be staying with Auntie
Fizz for a while and hopefully she will enjoy her stay with her cousins and not
miss us too much.
Surgery aside Jessica is doing well at the moment. She is
still enjoying school and going to Girls’ Brigade and ballet. She has started
to tire a little more at ballet and will often sit out for part of the class. We
also had our first (and second!) visit from the tooth fairy recently which
Jessica was very excited about.
We will of course keep you updated as much as we can when we
go into hospital. If you could keep us all in your thoughts and prayers over
the coming weeks, that would be very much appreciated.
