    Our new grandchild arrived this morning, a little boy 7lbs 1oz. After 4 grand daughters we have a little grand son (photo attached) We are all so delighted. He is in an incubator but is doing well. Parents over the moon 😀 Cant wait for visiting time.

    Hope you are all good

  • Dear Sal

    So sorry that your dad has lost his battle with this horrible illness. I know it's difficult and maybe hard to hear but it is a blessing that as you say it was "short and sweet". To know that your dear dad is not suffering must be of some comfort to you. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family

    Hello Maureen

    I am so glad to read that Ian is progressing and glad that he may walk again. Everything crossed for him. When Frank was on CTD they had to reduce the Dex as he had bad side effects. Great to hear that Ian is handling it well. My very best wishes to you both
