Getting Better All The Time

Big news is that we got hoofed out of our private room at the hospital. They offered us a bed on the ward (privacy = a curtain = YOU'RE alright) which we declined gracefully and high-tailed it home with a mixture of relief and sadness as we had to leave poor old Hector behind.
Its such a relief to be home though and great for Pip to be sleeping in her own bed again. Pip's mum Diana and her sister Tansy are staying with us so things are busy and happy and easy.
I've been riding to and fro with deliveries of mother's milk for Hector and today we spent the whole day with him. He's off the drip completely now and this week's task is to get him onto the breast/bottle (he currently receives his food through a tube through his nose down into his stomach and out of the hospital and HOME!!

With all that said here are new pictures:

Must be good to be home. I'm sure the family are looking after you. Let us know when it's time to move in and start cooking. I better warn you, I'm really into baking at the moment, so Neil has a bit of competition.SZ`Aqa Hope the heating's back on. As always, Peter and I send you our love and look forward to when Hector is given a clean bill of health and allowed home. XX
