As we went to bed on Thursday evening we received the news that Phoebe had suffered a long seizure (lasting 22 minutes). Afterwards she seemed like a different child from the morning.

ICU is a little more relaxed about its rules on the weekend... so they let us sneak Reuben in for a few minutes to visit his sister. These two have missed each other so much this week. Phoebe calls for Reuben all the time when she's asleep and constantly forgets that he's not allowed in here. #siblings#bestfriends
So difficult to see Phoebe so tired and Reuben so sad!

After a crazy long nights sleep Phoebe has woke up feeling a bit better! If she can get through today without a seizure she should move out of ICU tomorrow to a standard room. Please pray for this! #prayforphoebe
After this Matt sent us a message saying the Phoebe wanted to Facetime with us. Matt told us that Phoebe had slept well, and the previous evening had been able to go for a short walk. We were interrupted by the arrival of her breakfast; she was keen to eat her American pancakes!
Many thanks for your concern and prayers!
