Wednesday 17th October

A victorious start to the day, I woke and guzzled a full feed from my bottle, not one drop needed to go down my tube. Obviously I timed my feed to perfection because just as I had finished the Pink Ladies turned up. My dad asked them if they could come back a bit later because he thought I would give him my food straight back all over him if I had the pain of the heel prick test. He played his trump card because he said I had just had my medicine as well so this would probably be returned also. They said they couldn't come back so the doctors would have to do it later, result! Then even better, the doctors said that I didn't need to have the test done today, even better!

In the afternoon I had been feeding sooo well from my bottle they pinched my feeding tube and even worse they took my sats monitor away (Only for an hour though) so in the afternoon I became Wireless Han! Cool!

Later in the evening I went to the Outpatients Department of the hospital to have a scan to check my heart was OK, which it was. My mum and dad were talking about genetics with the cardiologist and discussing me having brothers or sisters when I am older. As they didn't have the courtesy to ask me my opinion on the matter, I thought I would intervene by trumping loudly repeatedly which made them all laugh. I have officially poo poo'ed that idea!

I was looked after by Denise in the morning, Naomi in the afternoon and at night my dad camped out on the top of K2 and had to do all the barking himself! (Although Katie did help him sometimes)

Dear Hannah

Glad to hear you are managing to feed from your bottle really well now. I bet that you are gaining weight from all that guzzling too!
Even better to hear that your heart scan went well and that all is looking good. I hope that next time we speak to you that you are heading for home. My mummy has explained to me that we will not be able to see you for quite a while as like me, you will have to be careful not to pick up coughs and colds etc - aren't we a pair!!!!
Never mind, I'm just glad to hear that you are getting stronger every day and sounding like you are still the boss of them all - just as we are meant to be!

Lots of love
