This week has not been a good one. Rosie seems to have beaten off the lung problem, but now has massive swelling in her stomach area caused by an infection in her small intestine. This is making it very difficult for her to circulate blood around her body, particularly to send it back to the heart.
We were called in to the hospital suddenly yesterday because Rosie's blood pressure had dropped dramatically, and the doctors thought that her heart may stop. She has improved slightly since then, but remains in a pretty bad way.
So, please keep sending those thoughts and prayers and positive thoughts, and click on the link below to get Megumi's blog back into the Top 10 on the blog service she is using.

So sorry to have given you a fright the other evening, had no idea that you were having such a worrying time at the moment. Can only imagine how hard this is for you both, we have been thinking and praying away that wee Rosie will pull through stronger and more gorgeous than ever.
Our number up here is 0238 84 6737. It's also the number for K's dad's company so don't worry if you get someone official. (For some reason, all my mails to your email are being returned so I'm having to contact you through here..)
Remember that we're only 2 hours away doll, so if there is anything that you need, just give us a call and we can be down like a shot.
All our love, thoughts and prayers are with the three of you
Fiona & Katsu
