Classic pic: In the garden

This week's classic photo is a picture we took of Abby when the kids were enjoying the sunshine in the garden at our old house one summer's day. It was taken on the afternoon of 8th June 2004 so Abigail was nine months old. The photograph is significant because it was taken in the very short six week period after Abby had at last come home from hospital but before she went back in due to epileptic seizures.

She'd just been discharged from Guy's hospital PICU after her gastrostomy operation and subsequent seizure episode. We had her home for just a month and a half before she was re-admitted to our local hospital with more epileptic episodes. This was finally brought under control after a week and she came home again on 23rd June that year.

Although it was really only a recent addition, it seems strange looking back at older pictures of Abby where she didn't have her trademark long curly locks!
