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. 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 but I cannot wait to really fill the role.

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

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".

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

[kirklancaster]

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

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

[Dollface]

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

[kirklancaster]

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.

[Marsh.]

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

Glad she's doing so well.
