Just a quick blog to say that we are still around.
Its the first day back at school after half term and we have been so busy that I haven't had time to blog.
During the week we have been bike riding, we have been to the cinema, swimming and to a ball area.
Grace decided to buy herself a bike so we have been practising as often as possible and hopefully she will be able to ride in a few more days, without stablisers. With this in mind we have been taking advantage of the nice weather and getting outside as much as possible, we have even been able to clean down the trampoline and use it.
This came about because we felt that Grace doesn't get the exercise that we think that she needs during the winter months and maybe it will help boost her lung function and her general well being, and also because since her bronchoscopy, although her steroid intake has remained the same, she seems to have suddenly regained her appetite massively and has grown considerably.
Grace is doing another overnight saturation test tomorrow night and she will be starting her regularly 3 monthly IV's on 28 Feb (they are actually about a week early but we will be going away for Easter weekend).
I went out with some friends on Friday for dinner and after a few glasses of wine, managed to rope myself into salsa lessons. I am aprehensive, but quite looking forward to it, it was sort of taking a leaf out of the book of a very good belly dancing friend,whom I know finds this kind of thing very good therapy...... so lets see.
Not managed to get to the gym one single day in the last week, so I will be back with a vengeance tomorrow! can't wait.

Woohooooo!!
Go Gilly, I wanted to do salsa as well but its on the same night as belly shakin. Another mum from the forum is doing ballroom we're all at it aren't we.
Glad to hear you and Grace have been getting plenty of outdoor exercise it sounds as though you've done more than enough to cover the gym sessions.
I'm thinking of other therapies for us all for 2008, do you fancy a bit of rallying ;-)
Must go I've got home group meeting tonight...churchy stuff.
Loadsa love.
