Wearing curtains?

We had an interesting night's sleep last night as Catherine decided she wanted to come into bed for a cuddle. This was very cute, but as the night progressed she took over the majority of the bed (diagonally) and Mark ended up going to sleep in the spare room. Also, she woke me up a few times stroking my face. Another cute thing to do but it has resulted in a tired mummy, especially after yesterday's hospital visit.

The hospital visit went as well as could be expected. Catherine doesn't like having the anaesthetic for the lumbar puncture because it makes her feel 'wobbly' afterwards, so she was worried about this all morning. However, she was very happy using the anaesthetic spray instead of the 'magic' cream on her portacath, so I think we will use it the next time. She is already losing the weight she gained on the steroids and is continuing to walk and run about more. This is very good news.

Catherine is also working out that she can have fun with her new hair. I was carrying her earlier and she had a naughty sparkle in her eyes. Seconds later, she had put her 'hair' on my head......back to front! This meant I couldn't see where I was going and also that she was in a fit of giggles which made it much harder to keep hold of her: 'Mummy it looks like you're wearing curtains' she said as she parted the 'hair' to see my face. Typically, as is always the case with Catherine, this had to be a day when we are attending a big conference. She is so funny.

Please continue to pray that she escapes any infections, particularly viruses like chicken pox and measles which would mean we need to go into hospital immediately. Thankyou.
