A well overdue update!
The last surgery at the beginning of the first lockdown feels like a lifetime ago.
Surgery during lockdown was very difficult. We were in a public ward, with lots of noise, people coming and going at all hours, and limited space. It was difficult not being able to leave the room or have any visitors also. Yet again there were issues with managing the pain, but once we made it home all was well.
Evie recovered well and has continued to love music, art and had a great end to year 6.
She was one of the leads in our local musical in year 7 and continued to thrive in all areas. Yes she still required lengethings every 3 months, but all in all, life now looks vastly different than it did in the early days.
Whilst initially worried about how she would cope at our local high school with it's large grounds and many stairs, she has managed them well with some adjustments. She is able to use a key for the school lifts, and we have arranged with her teachers for her to complete her work on an ipad rather than carrying a heavy backpack of books around. She is not a fan of school sport or PE, but loves the beach, walking the dog and dancing when no-one is watching!
