Update

Thank you to everyone who left me a message yesterday when Rachel was having surgery, it means so much to know you're all thinking about me.


Rachel went into theatre at 9 am and got back onto the ward for 1 o'clock, Anth was there and he said she was in quite a lot of pain,  but ok.

Rachel phoned me herself at 6 pm and she said she'd managed a few spoons  of soup and a drink and she'd put her new jimmies on but was in a lot of pain, which I knew she would be.

I spoke to her at 8 this morning and she said she hadn't had a very good night but she was ok and was going to try a bit of toast, considering she's 5' 6'' and a size 8 she does like her food !!

I'm just happy it's all over and now and we just have to get her home and rested for a while till the wounds heal, she's hopeing to come home on Wednesday.

Well what does a worried mama do while her girl is under the knife???

After a few chores and wrapping of birthday pressies for two lovely people, I started to sew,


after choosing the fabrics I thought I'd make a bunny inspired by the lovely Julie Arkell, when I'd finished her I sewed an old initial on to her dress and called her "Rachel rabbit" so I shall take her along to the hospital this afternoon and hope it cheers Rachel up a bit with some chocs, balloon and card  as you can't have flowers in hospital these days....where did that come from???

Thanks again for all your well wishes,

Lucey xx

Good to hear Rachel is on the mend. The rabbit you made is lovely, sure she'll love it. Things have gone crazy in this world with hospitals banning you taking flowers in these days!!!! Suppose it saves the nurses finding vases for them and having to wash the vases too!!!! Obviously something to do with hygiene!!!!! Doesn't seems to have stopped MRSA (think that's what seems to be going around hospitals these days!!!)

What a cute 'Rachel' rabbit, I'm sure it will have made her smile. I love Julie Arkell's designs and was lucky enough to go on one of her courses last year.
