Update on Miss Lillys Arm

For those unaware, Lilly broke her arm on New Years Eve. The doctor was concerned about the angle the wrist was at and suggested she may need surgery ( 3 days before we flew out) to correct it. After a secondary look, he said he was satisfied that the bones would sort themselves out and nothing needed to be done. We had a referral to a doctor in the UK just for a check up.

Well.. We went to the check up - and on a side note, can I say how impressed I am with the service and speed we were looked after...

Poor Miss Lillys arm is not mending well. The angle of the bones are completely opposite to what they need to be. Because they are starting to fuse,and she is still growing, it leaves the doctor kin a difficult situation. Its very likely she meeds major surgery to rebreak it and get wires into it to correct the angle.

She has a new cast on and they will monitor it over a month and make decisions with me then. Far out.

Getting the old cast off.

ReXraying it

A new pink one being put on. 

The Red House - one of Hampshires oldest Pubs

A delightful Sunday lunch was spent in one of the villages quaint pubs, boasting that it has been serving food and ale since the 1600s.

The Red House is on the main street in Whitchurch, a tiny village set alongside a gushing ( at the moment) stream.  As you can see from the photos, the ceiling is very low and the bar tiny - but with the fireplace, its a gorgeous little place to escape the chill and to share some drinks.

We had a traditional roast lunch, which was amazing.. no it was AMAZING... and best of all - the super yum chocolate fudge pudding. It was pretty fabulous and I refuse to feel guilty for eating it.

Onsies rule

Its a bit frosty in the mornings.. and in the daytime.... and at night... so the kids have begged me to buy them onsies.  I have reasoned that we can bring these along on the Camino instead of sleeping bags - though they are a little bulky.

Lilly hasn't taken hers off all day; and I expect her to be wearing it for the next week.. Well.. if I were eight years old.. I'd wear it too.

Morgan got a dragon one and Miss Lilly has a bunny rabbit one.. I know they are going to hate me when they are a few years older.. but how cute are these two now?  he he... fuel for my ever growing blackmail pile for when they have a boy/girl friend or on their 18th......
