So I havent posted for too long & have stuff to catch you up on. As much as I can give you as I havent always known what has happened each day for few weeks as like I said horrid illness & not seeing the fam hindered all my research. I need newby pics & updates of Evelyns week & will get this tommorow as we are hosting a Avon party & hoping to get lots of orders drummed up to gain some funds. Its a tricky job to have though huh as your always hoping on the people you deliever brochures to to not only order but to leave the book out or be in when they have a delivery* Ha, Kaylea to be honest has been a star with it all though as she lives so close to your route. I broke my phone though & literally have a 90's style model (do you remember when we both had the bt cellnets in the noughties & the text message would scroll slowly across the tiny screen haha. You were pretty much the onbly person I txt & you had to top it up £10 each month haha!! ) so cant recieve picture messages or take photos so bloody annoying. Hence the huge ipad in your face at physio yesterday :) You have been walking lots aided at first & now with just assistance from staff either side of you transfering you from wheelchair to bed & helping you exercise the house. You are in your own room now which is awesome as poor you had a crazy loud lady next to you for a couple nights & she kept you up all night long saying your name & shouting. Kind of cool though as they realised it was only fair to get you a nice room with huge window & door to outside garden/patio area. A gorgeous black cat came & entertained us all at the window yesterday as they go right to the floor he was army crawling & sunbathing (yes the sun did shine yesterday but today it snowed-fuckkkeeed uupppp!!) All the bubbas loved it & Evelyn said to me Molls loves our garden at nannys :) We sat in the garden whilst you ate your salt & pepper tiger bread & houmous but it was stupid really as sun wasnt warm at all & we were all freezing. We went & sat in the dayroom after but you were super knackered out by your session & I had a sleepy toddler gettin cranky so we set off home, missing you as soon as we were out the door. Cant wait to have you home :) 


Today you had a huge family meeting whilst mama had Bets. Your dad came down for it too & I still dont have much info on it but I hear it was to discuss your prospects & the links to gettin you home & happy & were the real work meets the real world. In a positive sense hehe. I saw on fb these pics of you scans from your CT that showed how hugeky swollen your brain was & then after the operation in St Georges. Will update more tomorow once Ive spoken to your mum about everything. I know for sure that you have day visits planned as of this meeting & over night weekend stays to get you used to then evetually coming home, wup wup...and you are tackling stairs tommorow, GO GIRL** super amazing body showing all those Drs there scarey worst case scenarios can do one** You are friggin super woman bubb xxx Love & light


So sorry I havent blogged in a few weeks. Back at work been manic & Jaspey off big boy school & got this horrid horrid illness but hey ho Im back. Had an awesome visit with you yesterday. Me & Jasper were gonna come up on the train again as he so loved the journey last week but was raining on & off & lucky for us Kaylea wanted to come too. We arranged to come up to join you in your physio so I could film it for here but also see with my own eyes your amazing progress. It is truley incredible how far you have come in these weeks following your stroke & my god every post talks of how inspiring you are but I was just so overwhelkmed seeing you walk & transfer from chair to car so well. Thats what you were learning in your session today, car transfers. You walked most of the way only slightly aided by one physio on your good side encouraging you along & actually acting pretty stubborn & saying you can open the doors & making sure nothing was too easy for you. Alli & I were filming it all like the paparazzi we love to be & all the staff were loving how many cheerleaders you had. Its all so positive and lovely in this centre your in. The Donald Wilson House, at the back of Chichester Hospital. All the staff really love u & are so pushing you on every day with new tasks & positive words. Got a lot to cover but will finish off todays visit & cover that all in next post** (again sorry its been so long since last update)
So you walked to the car to transfer in & two physios working with you talked you through what they wanted you to do & how to do it the very best possible & safest way. Its strange as we all take for granted being a ble to lift our legs into a car slumping down into the chair & pulling the door shut. Everything is so much more sharp & analysed now & every ones emotions are on point with everything now to feel & experience anything. 
You done the car transfer two times, no maybe three in the hospital car & then tried Alli's car that is lower (and messier haha sorry Alli but u called it out before we did**) You did amazing again & were desperate to stay sat there & drive to Nando's & to go shopping. I hear you went out with Lorraine & Bets last week shopping in New Look & went courtesy of a big taxi & stayed in your wheelchair. Fun adventure for lil princess no doubt, kids just love new ve-hi-cales huh!! haha...You walked from Alli's car for two mins up a bloody hill aswell* Pretty exhausting since you hadnt been able to have physio for four days over the easter weekend. You had small exercises to do to strengthen your legs & ankles but not actual full physio. You walked in total nearly five minutes on & off & the nurses were so amazed as just last week your legs wanted to cross over with each step but they said your hips were balanced very well & your legs were super strong. They were very impressed with the bend in your left leg & how large your steps had got. In just a week thats huge progress with half that week having no treatments!! I filmed every section of the session & at the end when we coming back to your room were Alli, Kaylea & Evelyn, Jaspey, Grace & Lells were I was filming & all the bubbas had lined up to watch you and were desperate to cheer you on but were told to keep quiet so as not to make you loose focus until you had sat down. They were so bloody excited & happy & seing smoosh's face light up when she saw her super mama walking towards her was just a dream, so magical. Their little innocent hearts just show so much so honestly. Bloody lovely. Love & light boo xxx

ps- Your mum updating her facebook is too cute. "How proud am I ???? Carly all down to you and your determination." her fb status yesterday-super cutee booty**
new videos I took on day visit Tuesday 2nd April, amazing afternoon watching you in your physio session work so super hard**
