This is a very quick update to let everyone know that Summer has been taken into Paediatric Intensive care Unit at Southampton General Hospital due to a problem with her breathing.
She became unwell yesterday and the short version is that she had a small hole in her diaphragm and two thirds of her bowel had worked its way through into her lung cavity and collapsed her left lung causing her to have problems breathing. She has had an operation this morning to move the bowel down and close the hole. Her lung was then re-inflated.
She is currently stable - on a ventilator and heavily sedated.
We will have our mobile phones with us but they will be turned off whilst in the unit.

Dear Rudd Family,
We do hope that Summer is comfortable and on the road to recovery. I'm sure Summer's weight gain and all round good health will stand her in the best stead to recover. Then she can get back on with all that chewing! Very best wishes,
Gill, Jimmy and Anna
