28/12/13 - 18 days

Today I measured Ellie for her new arm splints. We did an emergency Velcro addition to the original set last time, but it wanted to get her a new set this time, that'd it her snugly and comfortably, and a lovely lady offered to make them free of charge. 

We have 18 days until the surgery. 16 days until we leave for Hobart. And, touch wood, so far things are going to plan. Ellie is healthy lung-wise, so he only thing stopping us will be her ears. She has an appointment on Monday and I'll get doctor Naiker to order some swabs so we can figure out what exactly the infection is, and get her on the right antibiotics. I'm terrified it will be staf or something else that will put an end to the surgery. 

There won't be a lot of time to worry about it though. Next weekend we have her birthday party and cake smash photo shoot, followed b&g er actually birthday and then we head off to Hobart.
