Purple Dragon

She and Anthony were chasing round the living room tonight, and Laura got ahead of him. Typical competitive boy – he decided this wasn’t good, so he cheated and pushed her.

The combined speed of the running, the push, and her own weight, and she crashed into the doorframe face first.

I thought for a couple of minutes that she had fractured her cheekbone, but after the liberal application of ice, the swelling reduced and now she just has a massive bruise and a bit of swelling on the cheek, and a black eye.

What’s she like, eh?

Had both the girls weighed this morning.

Laura has lost weight. She has gone from 17kg down to 16kg in two months. This is fine though, and I’m not worried. Neither is the health visitor. She’s stretched, and is running about. She has fallen from the high 90th %ile to the high 80’s.

Rachel has gone the other way! She has put on just over half a kg in a month, taking her to 9.525kg (21lbs). This takes her from the 25th %ile to the high 40’s!

Rachel had her appt this morning for the dietician and she is as pleased with her progress as I am. It was definitely the formula she was getting that was making her ill. We are giving her the minimum before she starts getting ill on it, and her appetite and (obviously) weight have increased well. She doesn’t need to go back till end Feb, and if she is still well, I don’t need to take her back at all.

Smiley happy people
