CD...... when it comes to your test remember one thing You are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! We all believe in you. You can do this.

Take today slowly and refuse to be stressed. Accept that it is a busy day and cross each thing off one at a time.


Please pray for Simon's DS. He's got a school trip next week for 4 or 5 days. Please pray that his dad holds on at least until he goes. I think he really needs to time to just be a young boy again with his friends.

Simon is breathing on his own, which should be a good thing but that's about all. So the hospital have to do everything they can for him. He's having so many emergency ops to replace shunts and all sorts. The family were taken to (in his wife's words) the dreaded side room to explain how grave the situation is. So please continue to pray and I'll update as I know.

Starting to get brain fatigue. Please pray that I don't and that I am able to revise all that I need for my exam next Thursday. TA! I've decided to go dancing on Saturday to give myself a break. So I'm looking forward to that.

Much love ladies. Praying for you all.

Continuing to pray for Simon, Mars - positive that he is breathing on his own - praying for his DS as he goes off on his trip - glad they are getting on with stuff, so to speak!!

Praying for tiredness issues Mars and Mary - I am feeling surprisingly awake today, which is good!!
