Roll up! Roll up!

One thing we have learnt during this surreal couple of weeks since Lorns waters broke during an exciting edition of Jeremy Kyle, is that not a lot gets done in hospitals on a weekend.

Jovie, bless her, slept ignorantly through all of yesterday, while we moaned to nurses about doctors and to doctors about nurses. Their plan as it turns out is to change the (clearly not working) medication, take a piece of her muscle for tests and continue the attempt to slowly coax jovie off the ventilator. None of which will happen til Monday. Perhaps the six figure salaries these neurologists are on aren't quite high enough to warrant missing the f1 on a Sunday for...

Also happening on Monday is the horrible scenario of Lorn being left up here alone while some poor sap has to spend the whole day away from his girls at work. Not a fun prospect.

Other random irritations this week: chavs who spend all day watching tv and making a mess in communal living apartments which they are getting for free during supposedly difficult times, doctors you've never seen before telling you things you already know or worse - things that aren't right, nurses who stare at you for uncomfortable lengths of time, men who wear sunglasses inside intensive care units, finding negatives out of positives, having to watch the last day of the football season via the bbc red button, being charged £10 a day to park in a hospital car park & of course, having to go through all this shit at all.

However, any sign of doom and gloom in the Wyse camp today was lifted with guests a plenty (even if the star attraction slept through them all!) and delightfully, a good hour stint of Lorn getting to hold and cuddle jovie outside of her little open top incubator. We even got to dress her for the first time, which beliieve me is a HUGE deal when quality time is looking at your little girl in a fancy fish tank...

So another week bites the dust, one week down here in brum and an opportunity to say another big thank you to everyone who has sent their regards, all the visitors we've had and everyone who is reading this nonsense night after night. We really appreciate all the comments.

Although we are still a long way off any answers, lots has been done this week and with lots already planned for next week, who knows what news we might have come this time next week. Hope you all enjoyed your weekends (Birmingham City fans included).

All the best from the three of us.
