Sincere thanks to you all. It is warming and uplifting. Thank you.

I ave just had more good news; the hospital staff have take her off the ventilator because she is breathing by herself so normally - again they said this has astounded them that she should do this so early in this degree of premature birth, so I thank God for it.

My daughter is being discharged this morning (great news) but she is coming home to stay with us for at least a few months and her husband will flit between 2 homes.:laugh: It's a bit sad that the baby will be kept in for, I believe 2 months, unless she continues to make her exceptional progress, which I am praying she does, but I would rather have her in the right place where expert help will benefit her the most.

I am still too young, dashingly handsome, and fit to be a grand dad :laugh: but I cannot wait to really fill the role. :laugh:

I don't mind changing nappies and pushing a pram and being up in the middle of the night during teething.

I'm very happy everything turned out all right. congratulations grandpa kirk.

Awww, grandpa Kirk congratulations!! So pleased for you and glad you shared! :love:

TiBB's very own Kay Burley. :hehe:

:clap1: They're lucky to have you as their dad/grandad.

Or pa? My dad prefers pa as it doesn't make him feel as old as "grandad". :laugh:

Congratulations Kirk

Congratulations Kirk,I hope they are both safe and well,all good wishes coming your way xx

Congratulations Kirk! I'm so glad to hear that both are doing well, your granddaughter looks beautiful and she'll definitely be a fighter, she's doing amazingly well already :love:

I'm sure we'll see her on TiBB in 15 years giving her granddad a run for his money in serious debates :laugh:

Best of luck to all concerned Kirk :)

:fist: i see Mock as a young Jon Snow

Congratulations Grandad :) Hope mother and baby get stronger and stronger. Any names chosen yet? How about Freya? That's who Friday is named after I believe.

A huge congratulations to you and your daughter, Kirk

Wow - Thanks to you all, really. I'm touched (:nono: NO evil skits Marsh and LT - you know what I mean :laugh:)

My daughter is home now and baby is coming on in leaps and bounds.

Thank you all so much for your kindness and concern.

Congratulations granddad :)

So glad mums doing well and your wee granddaughter is such a good weight.

Congrats grandad Kirk!!!! Very happy for you, she is beautiful! and soooooo tiny. bless her. She is so cute. :love:

Omg Kirk what a beautiful new life your daughter has brought into the world <3 Thank you for sharing this with us tibbers :love: So glad they're both well

Thanks to you all of you again. They have now actually moved her out of the IC unit and into a small side room because she is doing so well,

Makes you wonder how such a little tiny thing can fight so determinedly for life when so many evil bastards in this world just delight in taking lives.

Things like this remind you of the good side of life. :clap1:

Glad she's doing so well.
