23rd February 2011......

...We have been getting prepared for Maisie to have her operation, accommodation is sorted for as long as we need while my Maisie Moo Moo is in hospital..great, that's a huge weight off, plus it wont cost us anything as the Children's Trust have a scheme going where they have big houses to accommodate family's around the UK (each house can accommodate different amounts around the country), but we have it booked, which is brilliant as it means that we don't have to find £400 to stay in London for what could be 5 days could be less could even be more...and i would not like the "on the night price" for a travelodge, not in London! My mum as bought a huge thick blow up chair, with a pink throw to put over it to make it comfy for Maisie after her op! i have also bought some size 1 nappies, invested in "on offer" nappy cream and a few other things in the past week...today we bought the wood that's needed to build Maisie a Spica Chair ;-) all thanks to a new friend that i have made on a Hip-Dysplaisa forum, who has very kindly gave us the instructions on how to build the Spica Chair....we are so grateful for him just taking the time to send it to me so i can understand it, no doubt i have done his head in, as i have asked many questions, but he has answered them all, which is appreciated, i am so thankful to him, and i don't doubt he understands the feelings of having a child with Hip Dysplasia awaiting an operation to correct it.....Alan and a good friend are going to build the Spica Chair together, which is great, i cannot wait until it is finished, still deciding on a design though, not sure what to choose, although i do have a base colour ;-) this is a good start....when i can get hold of the paint that is...need to do some hunting around for the right paint that we need.....
