My husband and I would like to thank Mr Rigby and his team, Ella, Yasmin, ward sisters and all nursing/auxiliary/housekeeping staff on Kingfisher Ward, Great Western Hospital, for the excellent care our daughter, Della Sharpe, received during her nine-day stay.

Also, we would like to thank the Emergency Ambulance Service (Andy and two colleagues) for their brilliant help with a difficult access situation and their expert care of Della while transporting her to hospital.

Grateful thanks to all as well from Della's husband Gary and their baby son William.
