And now of course life's thrown a new curveball - Tone's got flu. There's no ways Tara can have the op on Tuesday if she's ill. He's off to the doctor now - and we may have to quarantine him for the next couple of days! Tara's eating heaps of oranges to fight off his germs! Also not fab for Tone to be feeling ill at the moment but c'est la vie!
Last day of school today and Tara was very excited to tell all her friends it would be the last time they saw Leggie Loo (and the entire classroom was a bundle of excitement around Tara this morning). She did a drawing on the whiteboard last night (pictured here) of Leggie Loo. It kinda looks like LL's going to heaven - sort of floating between the ground and the sky, but she said it's just decoration and I'm reading too much into it! Note how her new leg on the left has painted toenails! (Not sure if it's obvious that you can click on any of the pics in this blog to see them enlarged? It seems the Comments aren't too obvious either - well done Janet! - for those still battling, you need to click on 'Anonymous' or 'Name' after writing your message, otherwise it defaults to Gmail and if you're not a Gmailer, it won't go thro'.)Medicine time last night was a FAR happier occasion. This time we sat on her bed in the bedroom, nice and cuddly, and she swallowed the powder like a pro - and is now totally excited about being able to do it tonight all on her own.
The specialist called today - he says Tone has to stay far away from Tara and we all need to stay positive. He also said he couldn't be happier with the anaesthetist we have - he says she's the first one he would choose for his child, and she's the one he used for his wife. And the anaesthetist herself phoned - and she's soooo chuffed we're at the Royal Brisbane - she says we couldn't be at a better place for Tara's amputation. And - argh (an excited argh!) - the next time we speak to the two of them will be on Tuesday morning!!!!

Hello Tara mou!
How are you? Are you getting ready for your operation my darling? I'm sure you are a bit sad to lose your Leggy Lou but you must remember that with God's Grace when the doctors say it's the right time to have the Cousin Lou everything will be alright. From there on you will be flying my Tara and be able to do all the things that you couldn't do with Leggy Lou. You are our special Tara, you Cassie and Jadie and we all love you lots and lots. We and the whole family and friends and our Pater from church are praying for you. The most important thing to remember Tara mou is that God loves you too much because you are very special to him as are all the people, especially the little children. God Bless you Tara mou kai se agapo poli poli x
Lots of Love from
Pappou and Yiayia xxxx
