Hi again,

For those of you who might be interested, I've posted some pictures of Heather at various stages of her journey. I've only done a few and I hope you can access them. I don't do pictures on the internet often, usually just those I post for my ebay auctions. But try this link - http://home.earthlink.net/~vidwiz2000/_wsn/page3.html Hopefully it will get you to my page. I'm not the best at taking and editing digital pics, so the quality isn't great, but they'll do for now.

The top left pic is the week before she went back in the hospital, right before we went to Johns Hopkins on April 3rd. Top right is how she was positioned for the best part of 5 weeks. Actually, she was leaning to the side a little. Usually she was straight forward, but you get the idea.

Next row is showing how swollen her tongue and face was. The face swelling had been worse. This was a couple days after it started to go down in her face, but the tongue hadn't changed yet. On the right was when the tongue swelling was decreasing.

Below that the tongue was almost normal size again. I don't have any yet showing that the tongue is totally back inside her mouth. You can ignore the bottom right pic. It's an old ebay one. I'd like to get more pics up, but it probably won't be anytime soon.

Rainbows & hugs, wink
Rosie
