Just dropping in to say I haven’t run away to join the circus, in case you’re wondering why things are so quiet around here. Baby Duck is back in hospital. His “recovery” was plagued by setbacks, till he was clearly in such pain another trip to emergency was necessary. He was operated on last Friday for a bowel obstruction and is now finally starting to come good again. He even had some ice cream and jelly yesterday, his first food in over a week. The poor thing was down to 18kg on the weekend – he looks like a stick figure – but is slowly putting weight back on due to intravenous nutrition.
And in the midst of all this drama and pain, you know what he keeps worrying about? That he’ll be in hospital for my birthday.
That child is just so gorgeous I could eat him up.
Oh, my. He has been braver than brave! And you, too.
