Just a quick entry to mention that little Ruby had her operation this afternoon. She is 19 weeks old and has been through … 2 operations, 2 biopsies and chemotherapy in utero. One month in special care baby unit (half of which was in an incubator) Full leg casts reapplied weekly and now an operation under local anaesthetic. She has endured a lifetime of medical stuff during her short little life.

She was so brave. I volunteered Laith to take Ruby into theatre. The operation took all of half an hour under local anaesthetic. Laith came out with tears in his eyes. Apparently Ruby cried when they made the incisions. Poor little thing and I do feel for Laith having to watch and comfort his youngest little princess through it all.

Ruby and Laila are both fast asleep and I’m heading the same way so I’m off to bed. I have a training course in the morning
