Day Two Hundred and Twenty Five

Yesterday Mum had her much needed double knee replacement surgery. The first 24 hours were not very kind to her, as she dealt with coming out of the anaesthetic, along with the pain and a blood transfusion. I got to visit her today in the ICU, and although still hooked up to a myriad of machines, she is feeling a lot better. She has a long road to recovery ahead with a lot of physio and rehab, but the hardest part is now over. I have promised to not go into labour before she is out of hospital, but at the rate I'm going (and growing) I'm not sure I can wait! We are all looking forward to her being able to use her knees again and walk long distances, after all she will have six grandchildren to keep up with!
