Suprise Birthday Party

Charlotte's birthday is the 8th December, she has a lot planned that day with her family and these plans change daily!!!!
The hospital have been amazing, the adolescent unit are offering their premises some staff and all of their craft materials, On the 7Th December from 6pm to 9pm you can decorate anything you like and give it to Charlotte for her birthday (or you can keep it) If you have a plain T shirt that works well.
Sky ward are donating a cake and there will be soft drinks etc.
For those of Charlotte's age there is a snooker table and a karaoke machine!!!

CHARLOTTE KNOWS NOTHING OF THIS, PLEASE DON'T TELL HER

Please bring some kind of food or drink, no alcohol.... We will order Pizzas when everyone gets there and we have an idea of how many we need.
She thinks she is meeting Lois and the PICU crew, which hopefully she will be.

Everyone is welcome if you can, post who's coming so we have some idea of the numbers that would be great and pass the word around so people who don't necessarily check the blog get to know.
I look forward to seeing her face when we suprise her

Operation over

Charlotte has had a very busy week, she went 10 days without dialysis, we were all set to believe the miracle we were waiting for had happened, her kidneys have recovered, but not enough............
We had the devastating news that she will need a kidney transplant, it could be in 15 yrs time, it could be in 6 months, but she will need it. Joe, Sophie and myself are looking at profiling to be donors.
We have been out and about, shopping in covent garden and the British museum with Sach and Darrel, lots and lots of charlottes freinds have visited, at one stage there were 5 extra bodies on her bed, the sister didn't see.
The operation today went well, Charlotte lost some more of her hand as the bone was dead underneath, the skin is very fagile and the blood supply is poor so we have to hope and pray for the best. There was a rogue bit of bone removed from her thumb and some black sponge from the vac dressing taken from her palm.
All tubes (nearly) have now been removed which will give charlotte the chance to get rid of her bugs once and for all, so she will be able to mix with other patients and used shared spaces
