Pre Op Day


We have had a lovely day. We said goodbye to Caitlin and a very excited Emilie this morning. I was worried Niamh would get very upset but she was ok. We had a lovely walk, played everything and enjoyed the visit of Poppa, Auntie Rach and Will.

The hospital asked us to go in for 2pm for blood test. They wanted to make sure she had enough platelets before tomorrow's surgery. She did! Phew. We were then told we could go home and come back in the morning around 7.30/8am for surgery at 9am. Niamh was so so happy.

We've had a nice evening. It feels a little strange and very quiet with only one child. We've skyped a few times with Emilie. She's having a fantastic time, planning a visit to the beach tomorrow. Niamh has enjoyed seeing Emilie, Nanny, Mike and Caitlin on the screen and 'chatting' to them all.

We're so glad she can sleep in her own bed tonight. Tomorrow likely to be a very very long day. The surgery is planned for 9am and likely to last 6 hours or longer.
