So? Did the big man in red bring you all you asked for?
We didn't quite manage the Christmas we had planned cos more bad luck stepped in the way. Poor little Lexi was rushed to hospital last Thursday night struggling to breathe. She was quickly diagnosed with Bronchiolitis.
She needed oxygen tubes up her nose to help her to maintain her blood oxygen levels and a feeding tube because she was unable to suck and breathe. Her Mummy or Daddy had to take it in turns to stay with her day and night and the Drs said that there was every chance Sam would catch it. The back up team stepped in to help care for Sam at home and thankfully our little angel recovered well enough to come home Monday.....and so far Sam has caught a cold but so far so good and he is managing to fight it!
Here they are Monday having only just opened their Christmas presents on Monday....and as Shell says the best present is sitting in the pink chair :-) Mummy now has their cold and Daddy is suffering with his kidneys [probably from the lack of drinks whilst at the hospital cos they weren't allowed hot drinks in Lexi's room!]. I think they have had their share of bad luck now and really hope 2012 is a better one for them.
Here is a quick snap of the last minute knitting finished just in time for wrapping for those little darlings in the pic above. If you want a link to the pattern you will find it here...

This is one of my wonderful presents....this one was bought for me by Sam and Lexi.....have a feeling they think they should keep Nanny Annie busy :-)
And of course I can't sit idle so my latest project is a baby blanket using all these gorgeous colours....I like to find a white wool with flecks of colour in it and then use all the fleck colours to tone with it....fab colours eh?
Well folks is just leaves me to wish you all a very happy new year. Hope you can all enjoy good health and can have many happy creative times between now and next year.
Much love to all.

glad to hear she is now feeling better, it must of been very worrying and stressful.
ReplyDeleteMy son was hospitalised with this when he was small, he was a premmie and winter was a stressful time, but we were lucky enough to get a rsv jab each month for the first winter which really helped. It is not something they routinely give due to expense but we got lucky (might be worth just mentioning to see if there is any chance of getting it?)
love the rabbits

It was so good to hear that Lexi was home and even better now to see your blog with a picture of them both looking so lovely.

Hugs, Neet #4

ReplyDeleteBest wishes for the little one- such a worrying time. Those knitted bunnies are gorgeous- reminds me of when I was young, my Mother used to knit all sorts of animals for me, I had a rabbit too, and a fox, a cat, a giraffe- I had quite forgotten about them. Thank you for a lovely childhood reminder.I hope you had a wonderful Christmas, and wish you a very Happy New Year, Love Shaz xx
ReplyDeleteHe he - they bought me a crafty book too - how well they know us already. So glad Lexi is on the mend. x Jo

Oh Annie, bless little one, its so hard to see them in such distress and they are so tiny to be suffering so much, may 2012 be a great year for them all and may mum and dad regain full health too.

Big Hugs. Joey xxx
oh Wipso Granny, it does look your sweet one is on the mend! It has been a while since I popped in to see the babies! Had to laugh at the pic of the twinsies in red Christmas stockings. I brought my son home from the hospital in one almost exactly like that 26 years ago! My how times flies! My best to you and all the little ones for 2012!
ReplyDeleteOh Annie, haven’t you and your family been through enough in recent months.
ReplyDeleteI’m so pleased to hear that Lexi is on the mend now and that Sam’s didn’t develop into anything more serious, but what a worry it must have been for all of you
Happy New Year to you and
Happy Crafting!
