Minnie has appointments almost every other day with hospital outreach workers, paediatricians, audiologists, renal experts and so on. For the last month she's been showing signs of successfully healing and growing past her rocky birth, but on Thursday her blood results came in showing a very low haemoglobin count. The doctor advised us to take her into Accident & Emergency straight away to get a blood transfusion.
So Mummy took her and I stayed to look after you. When, eventually, you asked, "Mummy an' Minnie?" I explained that Minnie was a bit sick again so Mummy had taken her to hospital. You burst into tears. I had to reassure you that the doctors were looking after Minnie and that she would be ok.
You seemed to accept that, so for the next hour or two we started your usual bedtime routine. Dinner, fruit for dessert, and then a long bath... during which time you were obviously processing the information, because during the bath while we were playing with numbers you suddenly said:
"Want Minnie get better."
We do too!
