thanks again all.
Abby's now back home and i took Natalie out for a nice lil walk into the local shops. She's doing well, she enjoyed her walk. we took tyler with us too, her older half-brother, and they seem to get on well so far.
we weren't certain if abby & Natalie would be allowed home today or not, as Natalie's temperature has been up & down since birth... but all is well so i guess Dr's felt it was good.
