A big thank you to Daniel's Nan and Pop's Church, Glasshouse Country Anglican Community Church in Australia, for the Prayer blanket you made Daniel for his surgery on the 11th January.
The quilt has been made with prayer and love by many people in the Church. The quilt was blessed and prayers were made for Daniel and for us, his family. Also, thank you to our friends and family who have passed on their best wishes to us. Thank you so much for your love and kindness giving us the strength we need during this time.
Daniel freaked out about a tiny scratch on his knee tonight in the bath so I am not sure he is going to be too pleased about having metal pins poking through his skin! It will take a bit of getting used to for all of us.
We fly out to Florida on Thursday (7th January) and will be there for three weeks. We are staying at the Spring Hill Suites in West Palm Beach if anyone needs to contact us during this time.

Your family in Bairnsdale Australia are thinking of you at this stressful time.
Please give Daniel a big hug from us and remember Kristen and Shane to take care of yourselves as well.
Much love to you all xxxx
Kristen,
As a parent of two children, one of whom has dealt with more than his fair share of pain and difficulties, I know how hard it is to watch our child suffer. But I am constantly amazed at how well children cope and how resourceful they are. Daniel will do well because his parents have done everything in their power to ensure he gets the best surgeon, the best care and the best love. Good luck to all of you.
If my mum and dad dressed me and my younger brother in Santa suits AND made us pose like a pair of stooges AND took photos of us AND put us on the internet!!......
Anyhow, take care in Florida!
Don't fret too much, you are great parents. Danny will cope. having been through some nasty surgery, I think it's worse for family and friends than it is for you. when it's happening to you, you just let it all happen and thats that.
Enjoy Florida while you're there, check out a rocket launch if you get the chance!
Lots of love, Glen.
When were delighted to see Daniel on Skype after he was out of hospital. We shed some tears though, when he pulled his dummy out of his mouth and said, "Thank you for my blanket," and popped his dummy back into his mouth.
We love you all, Nan and Pop Rigby
