Members of Team Leo Arise...

and you can count yourself into Team Leo if you're reading this! We've been overwhelmed with extreme acts of kindness and beautiful emails and messages from all over the place over the weekend. This blog is doing it's job in getting information to you but also, over time we hope it will also serve to help other families who find themselves in the same situation.

Leo is doing so well today with plenty of energy despite only succumbing to sleep at about midnight last night. We were surprised the England v. Trinidad & Tobago football game did not send him to sleep!

He is off all food and drink today, and even not drinking milk. Even before this all happened, we knew he was under the weather if he stopped drinking milk, so PJ and I need to keep a very close eye and his milk intake and encourage him as much as possible to eat as much as possible.

The nutritionist even said to give him sweets and chocolate if that's what he wants. As parents though, this advice leaves you in two minds. You desperately want your child to eat good, wholesome and healthy food, but also want him to keep up his calorie intake regardless. We'll see how it goes over the next 24 hours...
