Emily has been poorly.

After severe abdominal pain, she was admitted to Inverclyde hospital with suspected appendicitis. We spent two days in hospital- Michaela stayed over the first night, and me the second- we are home.

Thanks to all of you who enquired, prayed, sent best wishes, and just generally care for us…

The news is that it was not appendicitis, but was a burst cyst, which needed key hole surgery to clean up.

And like most of us who find ourselves needing the services of the National Health Service- I am so grateful. The nurse and Doctors (particularly the surgeon) were great.

And Emily is stretched out on the sofa- on the mend.
