Clean bill of health...

It's almost a year to the day since Alfie emerged from the Hospital, after a longer than planned stay, into the Australian sunshine. Over recent weeks we have attempted in our own way to mark this most amazing event in our lives.



Since that day we have made a number of follow up visits to the Hospital so that they can monitor closely the effects that the oxygen starvation, lasting some eight minutes, had on his body. We started with monthly visits which became three and then six monthly as he thrived. While we have always been positive about the outcome there has always been the nagging worry that on one of these visits we would be given bad news. After such a traumatic entry into the world the diagnosis of "something" seemed inevitable.

Well today Alfie was back at the John Hunter and given a clean bill of health, we are raising a glass to him tonight... what a fighter, raise a glass for him too! :0)

PS .. while the cork is out raise one for the staff of the John Hunter Hospital without whom .... well it doesn't bear thinking about!
