Becky has given me permission to share this photograph with you. It was taken in hospital, after Daniel had undergone his surgery and shortly before he came home. The hospital staff were amazed at his good behaviour and also found it hard to believe he had only turned two a few days before. So he is now "Dan, the man". What a brave little chap he is.
He will have to have dressings on for quite a few more days until he returns to the childrens' department. We are hoping and praying that on that day he will be given the all clear and it will all be behind him and us. I love the bright gowns they issue to children even if Daniel's was too long for him!
I would like thank all those who left me Birthday wishes yesterday, those who sent internet cards and those who sent me cards through the post. We had a lovely day and it is a long time since since I laughed so hard and so long. Those boys truly are characters and gave us so much fun. No use me trying to explain to you a couple of things they did that made us laugh so much, you would have to have been there.
We did take quite a few photos. I have not had time to go through them and decide which ones to post on here. To be honest, Mike and I are very tired. The whole family have had a very stressful time recently with the worry over Daniel, looking after Nathan and all the usual things that have to be done. We are not as young as we were. So I am going to have a day off the computer today, maybe two days. We just want to rest and have a quiet time. I will get the pictures posted soon, I promise. I will also be back to commenting on your journals very shortly. I know you all understand the circumstances we have experienced.
Oh, somebody mentioned in a comment yesterday that I did not say how old I was this Birthday. Well, let me put it this way. Becky sang this to me:-
"Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm sixty-four."
No other clues needed. Thanks again for all your Birthday wishes. They meant a lot to me.

Children are the most resilient of creatures. I can't believe how happy Daniel looks, even though he is in hospital and covered in bandages. What a brave little man he is. Glad you enjoyed your birthday and I hope you get a couple of days of well earned rest. PS Is Leo still talking to you and Mike?????? Eileenx
aw - it must have been so scary for such a young'n to be in hospital, it's scary enough for the adults! =:-O
Glad to see him looking so well.
Happy Birthday for yesterday, Jeannette, I got that song sung to me two years ago ;-)
What a great photo of Daniel, Jeannette. It`s lovely to see how cheerful he is despite what he`s been through at such a tender age. Hopefully now all that will be behind him. I`m glad you had such a lovely birthday, and isn`t it wonderful that our grandchildren`s funny little ways give us so much pleasure. :o)
Love Sandra xxxx
Daniel looks so sweet, & brave for sure!!! Glad things are better now.
Have a good week.
Hugs,Sug
I've been on vacation and wasn't aware of all that has been going on with Daniel. My goodness, he is such a brave little guy! I cannot get over how grown up he looks in this picture! He is SO handsome. I will continue to pray for him until I know his infection has been cleared and he is 100% OK!
I'm glad Leo made it thru his operation, too. What a lovely cat he is! His coloring and markings are beautiful. I'm sure you and Mike get many laughs out of him every day.
Take good care,
Kathy

aww he is so strong and such a cutie pie. Happy belated birthday.
That's right...you're the same age as my ex. He was 64 on Saturday. I'll be 66 on Jan 4th...and when I married him I thought "ahh a younger man, I can train him the way I want him." That didn't happen...he already had more miles on him than I'll ever have. LOL I'm so glad you had a good day, it's been a long few weeks for your whole family...I bet it was good to laugh again & relax. Linda in Washington state
A bandage on his neck and his little hand.He sure went through alot and such a great smile...he looks like such a happy little guy.
Give him hugs from me for sure.
Glad all has worked out well.
