Like everyone else, we are getting ready for Christmas. We will be at Edinburgh Sick Kids Hospital. Not the christmas we had planned but we are still going to have a great time! Christmas has already started on ward 2…Anna loved the magician at the Christmas party, as well as getting her face painted.
She also loves her butterflies (thanks Auntie heather…)
And getting about in a wheelchair – as soon as we gave her this she pushed herself along the ward. For Anna, it is probably the first time she has been in control of moving around for about a year. We have known for some time, because of the SMA, she would be a wheelchir user at some point soon but have been keen to encourage walking. However, the leukaemia has weakened all her muscles even more so the wheelchair is, for the moment, a necessity.

Anna, you look so beautiful with your facepaints and butterflies, and really love the star sunglasses!
Nathan, it is lovely to see you in the photos looking gorgeous too.
