On Tuesday 10th February I took Lili to Newcastles Royal Victoria Infirmary ready for her surgery the next day. After booking into the hospital room, we went for a wander, unfortunately my phone was in the shop being fixed so I missed out on getting some really good pictures on our wander. When we got back to the hospital at 5pm a woman from medi-cinema (the hospital has a built in cinema) they had rented the rights to show Big Hero 6 from Disney, and we were invited to go see it. Disney also paid for a caricaturist and a magician before the movie. We really enjoyed the movie and Lili was given a gift bag from Disney afterwards. The next morning Lili went into surgery and was back by 1.30pm. She had the buckle flap procedure, and 12 teeth out, She was spaced out on morphine bless her begging me to go bring her the toy kitchen from the playroom with ALL the dishes and food. The 13th was my cousin Callums 9th birthday We texted Nana to tell him.happy birthday, 14th another woman from medi-cinema came and invited us to watch shaun the sheep. It was a really good movie, even now Lili still begs to watch it and im sick to death of it. 16th the hospital discharged Lili and we were finally at home. I cant say enough good things about the buckle flap procedure, it was the best decision we made. Lilis speech was improved enormously, Lili was back at school after 23 days or so and we found Lilis confidence to speak openly to others has improved alot. So much so I let her audition for Mr Blooms nursery with Cbeebies, and she got accepted. The 12th of August the team are coming out to film with Lili, Lacey, Tj, Frankie and James who are all friends of Lilis. Then on the 16th Cbeebies are paying for the travel to Liverpool to do more filming. All the kids are excited and to be honest so am I, its exciting to see Lili advance into areas I never thought possible. 29 days from now is Lilis 5th birthday and a couple of days later she will start reception class, I don't know what I'll do with myself having 6 hours all to myself.
