Just a very quick update to say thank you so much for all the lovely messages that have been left for my husband and I, we do appreciate all of them very much. He is out of hospital now but still undergoing tests as an outpatient and he will eventually need to have surgery. The diagnosis is a condition that can be succesfully treated and seems not to be as nasty as I first feared though there are more tests to be done over the next few weeks. Tomorrow he is having a scan requiring a radioiodine injection followed by another one next Friday. Hopefully he will have no side effects from this but he won't be able to see our grandchildren or daughter/daughters-in-law for 3 to 4 weeks as he will be radioactive for a while and has to avoid contact with children and young women.
A happier event took place yeaterday as it was Gabriel's 1st birthday so we went over to share his birthday cake and then went to call on Jules and Matt to meet george their new ginger cat - no photos yet as he's still nervous and we didn't want to scare him.
Gabriel enjoying his birthday tea!
I still shan't be posting regularly for a while but hope to add one or two posts here and there. Thank you again for all the positive thoughts and prayers.

Dear Rowan,
I have been so, so worried. I was fearing the worst. Thank you for posting this report. I know you have a lot on your plate but would welcome updates now and then.
Happy Valentine's Day, my dear.
Hugs, Julie
Rowan,
I've been checking in frequently and like others, was fearing the worst since we had not heard from you. I'm sure this is still a big upset in your lives but it sounds most positive. Your little Gabriel is adorable. What beautiful big eyes. Lots of hugs to you and yours.
I'm so glad you took the time to post. What a tremendous relief that your husband's condition isn't as bad as you'd thought. Thank goodness you were able to celebrate Gabriel's birthday before his injections. Your Gabriel is adorable by the way- what gorgeous eyes. Wishing your husband good health,
Jenny

I'm glad you posted about your husband. I hope his test go well and he feels better soon.
I can't believe Gabriel is already one year old! It just seems like a couple of months ago when he was born. He is such a cute little guy.

What a relief Rowan, that your husband 's condition can be treated and he's an outpatient now.
LOVE the cake. Gabriel looks like he is anyway! Jennie
I'm so glad that you have gotten relatively good news from the testing. And wish all the best, in his future treatment.
I hope you are being sure to give yourself plenty of TLC also... You too are under stress. Please do take good care of your own body, at this time.

That's good news Rowan my thoughts are with you both
Rowan, So glad to hear that things are better and that you both were able to celebrate little Gabriel's birthday before the test. Those are things that keep us going. Continued prayers and good thoughts are sent to you and your family. Janice
I'm so glad he's feeling better and that you're felived too. Once you've got a diagnosis it's a good, positive step towards treatment. I hope the injection goes well and isn't too painful.
Best wishes,
Tash
Ooops, I meant to say "relieved" not "felived" but I think you get what I mean!
I just found the blog "Cat in the Kitchen, Flora in the Garden" through your blog. I loved her blog at once and she suddenly died. I want to thank you for sending me to her before her blog of beauty is gone. I wish you a speedy return to health in your family.
I just wanted to add my best wishes as well and sincerely hope things go well for the both of you.
