Friday Focus 08/12/17 – Starting to feel festive

08/12/201707/12/2017

The tree is up, the letters to Santa have been sent and we’re all starting to feel festive in our house. Jessica and Sophie have been enjoying opening their advent calendars each day and counting down to Christmas. The Playmobil calendars have been a big hit this year. The only downside is all the tiny… Read More

Friday Focus 01/12/17 – Going into hibernation mode

01/12/201701/12/2017
Hibernation - this week's word of the week

The weather has suddenly got colder and I feel like I’ve gone into hibernation mode this week. Maybe it’s the reaction to the emotional rollercoaster of the past few weeks or just the natural lull in energy that always seems to hit me as the days grow shorter. I just want to curl up indoors,… Read More

24/11/201724/11/2017
Rearranged - this week's word of the week

Jessica’s surgery has had to be rearranged yet again. This time we made it into hospital, had an overnight stay and got Jessica ready for the surgery in the morning, only to be told that the surgeon was unwell, PICU was full and the surgery would have to be postponed again.     I know… Read More

Friday Focus 17/11/17 – Keep calm and carry on

The word "calm" with a rainbow over the top - this week's word of the week

We’re getting closer and closer to the new date for Jessica’s surgery. At the moment, I feel quite calm about it all, although I suspect that may change over the weekend as the reality of going back into hospital hits home again. This week has been all about enjoying the ordinary little moments of family… Read More

Friday Focus 10/11/17 – Postponing the surgery

10/11/201709/11/2017
Postponed - this week's word of the week

I wasn’t sure if I would be sharing my usual Friday Focus update this week because Jessica was due to have her surgery yesterday. However, we were warned on Tuesday evening that the ward and PICU were both very busy and to wait for confirmation of a bed before leaving home on Wednesday. As we’d… Read More

Friday Focus 03/11/17 – Holding on to hope and faith

03/11/201703/11/2017
A rainbow across the word "Faith" - this week's word of the week

As the date for Jessica’s surgery draws closer, I find myself drawing comfort and strength from my faith. Reminding myself that I don’t have to rely on my own strength to get through this; that I am not alone.  In those moments when my fear overwhelms me, I have poured my heart out in prayer,… Read More

Friday Focus 27/10/17 – Enjoying half-term

27/10/201727/10/2017
Enjoy - this week's word of the week

Half-term hasn’t quite gone as planned but I’ve been doing my best to enjoy it. Sophie was supposed to have her birthday party last Saturday. Unfortunately both girls came down with a tummy bug on Friday and we had to cancel the party. It was disappointing but couldn’t be helped.     Once we were… Read More
