Scarborough

As hoped, Maddy and family made it to Scarborough for a couple of days and enjoyed the usual mixed weather of the British seaside in August.

Here's a few pics of Maddy on North Bay beach,



with Mum, overlooking the bay


and eating lunch with Mum and brothers in Peasholme Park.


It was great to get away as a family, even if only for a short while, as it all seemed rather doubtful earlier in the summer.

The next significant event is a return to Jimmy's on Wednesday for an ultrasound scan, with a consultation on the Friday

Farewell to the NG tube......and good riddance

Maddy was more than happy to take a big step back toward normality as she removed her nasal feeding tube on Saturday. Her mum was finally persuaded to go along with it, as M's weight is now back within the normal BMI (body mass index) range, so she looks far less like a hospital patient now.
It was good timing as Maddy had quite a busy social calendar over the weekend, visiting the Bell family in their new abode in Halifax on Saturday. On Sunday she went to the Youth Theatre rehearsal in the early afternoon and then on to Phil's for a very enjoyable BBQ.

Amazingly she agreed to be photographed alongside brother Bob, normally persona non grata....but only after wrapping him in tape first....
