So tomorrow Alice will have her third cochlear implant surgery.

I don’t know whether I am more or less nervous this time. What with Ollie’s cancellation last week and Alice having missed school this week as she has had some sort of bug. Final call won’t be until we get to George’s tomorrow. It needs to be done – Alice has certainly not heard as well since her second implant failed – but you would never choose for your child to go through this even one; let alone three times.

Say a prayer and keep your fingers crossed for our dear little girl who, albeit inadvertently, seems to have helped so many. We couldn’t be more proud or love you any more than we do.
