The George Report

Wonderful women of the blogosphere, thanks for your kind and supportive messages. This is Georgie just this morning, in the big bed with her brother and sister. She is recovering really well, despite the fact that in this picture she looks a little like a London gangster I once knew called Billy Braincell.

She is behaving as well as we could hope. No vomiting, excessive dopiness or scary business. We are treating her at home with lots and lots of kisses.

She just smiles and squeaks and demands more milk to build up those chubby thighs. I can't quite catch her lopsided grin on film, but trust me, it could melt ice caps. My heightened adrenaline has subsided a little, and my heart doesn't jump into my mouth every time I look at her and remember what happened.

Now we just wait to have our follow-up appointments with the neurosurgeon and the Brain Injury Unit, which start in a few weeks. Other than that, life goes on as normal, apart from some extra-vigilant protection of Georgie's poor sweet little head. There is no predicting the future, of course, but babies are resilient, she seems to be doing wonderfully and we feel very optimistic.

Thanks again for your kind words.

Holy crapola woman, you poor love. Nothing, but nothing, is scarier than something awful happening to our defenceless, vulnerable, little people. Heart and hugs go out to you and Keith and the tiny Mogantoshes

Milk and kisses...no better cure.

The big scary-soundingness of 'The Brain Injury Unit' contrasts greatly with the soft chubby gorgeousness of those photos.

I hope and suspect that your optimism is justified. The Stockenses all send you good wishes. And some dinosaurs and mermaids.
