Harry has pretty much signed off and many people will have stopped checking on Will's progress now that he's home but I thought I'd add a few more photos and a final word. We have really enjoyed Will's first three days at home. He is a typical third child, being dragged from pillar to post having already attended a gymnastic class, gone to the movies, joined us at Care Group (Bible Study), gone out for dinner and then lunch the next day, finally made it to church and laid by the pool. It is so great to have him as part of the family. The kids are proudly showing him off to all and sundry, asking anyone who passes by if they would like to touch their brother. Will has been coping with all of this quite well, he is feeding and sleeping through it all and looking cute to boot.
So the photos are:
"look Mum, no catheter!!"
Happy to say goodbye to Ward K10S at Queen Mary Hospital. They have been marvelous but it's time to move on.
Back home with Jack and Cleo, lying on Will's handmade quilted floor play rug - thank you Deanna.
Finally, thanks so much to everyone for their prayers, love and support. The old saying goes "a problem shared is a problem halved" and I have to say it feels like you've all taken a portion of our "problem" and we have been left with the smallest amount. Harry and I then gave this remnant to God so really you and He have taken the load for us both. It's been a busy, demanding and tiring 6 weeks but Will's life and your love have been just two of the excellent things to come of it. We've also seen the arrival of Tom, Katie, Toby and Jacob - 5 babies in 6 weeks, stop drinking the water people!
I will hopefully get to sending out "birth announcements/thank you cards" but for those who have sent comments anonymously and for those of you whose email I don't have, thank you and please forgive the lack of personal correspondence.
Please continue to pray for babies Isaac and Toby as they fight on to be released from ICU to go to their homes.
Well, until the next adventure in the Turner 5's lives, good bye and loads of love, Jules.
