Hi All

It's hard to believe because it feels like a lifetime, but we're celebrating 2 years post surgery.

Luca is doing really well. We've just celebrated her 3rd birthday, her eyesight appears to be getting better and she took her first unaided steps last weekend!

Raise a glass... ching, ching!

Take care everyone, and stay strong
Mark (Luca's Dad)
