This Tri-er is Three!


The lovely balloons say it all.

It was a good day - a cake from the hospital, a young doctor drops in to wish her 'Happy Birthday' which was nice, Auntie Jamine and my aunt J and her teachers from school visit.

We are still not on the road to recovery, and just have to be patient and hope for the tide to turn soon.

This evening while I was cradling her, she looked into my eyes and started patting me on the chest. As if saying, 'Good job, Mummy."

What a welcome sign that was after 8 days of rather monotonous nursing care.

Thank you for all the birthday wishes.

Three cheers for you, Vera, for coming this far - hip hip hooray, Hip Hip Hooray, HIP HIP HOORAY!

Oh sweet Vera you have come so far. How I wish you weren't in the hospital for your 3rd birthday. Praying that you get well soon. I believe you were telling your mummy that she has done an excellent job!
