Which is worse, somehow. He did not hoard it. He just asked once, badly, and got an answer, and went back to driving me to appointments for another two years.
What happened to Nuala.
She is fine.
I am going to say that now because I know what it is to read one of these.
She had the scan on the thirteenth of October, 2025, at St Brioc's, and the kidneys are normal and have been normal at every review since, and she is under a consultant and will be until she is about eighteen.
Her hearing is where his was at that age, which is to say she has some loss at the top end, and she has aids, and she has had them since the February, and she is one and they are the colour of a strawberry because that is what my mother picked.
She may lose more. That is the honest position and it is in writing and I have read it about four hundred times.
