Visitors from Far and Wide

Leo has been allowed out of the hospital today and then goes back at 5pm for IV drugs again and stays overnight at the hospital. Hopefully then the redness and infection will have gone down by tomorrow and he can come home for a few days. I think we need to get used to the fact that this middle week of the 3 week cycle will always be the tricky one.

We're very fortunate to be having lots of visitors very soon. My brother's wife is here in Bristol next week, along with their new baby girl, Sophie. We cannot wait to see them considering they live in Dubai and we've not met Sophie yet!! Then my cousin Nicola and auntie Linda are here at the weekend and we've not seen Nicola since this whole adventure (!) started so that will be really nice.

Plus we've had an email today from Spain this morning. Martina's mum, Leo's best friend at King's College has been in touch and her email was lovely and written in fluent English. Just as well as our Spanish is not great when it comes to the written language. Martina would like to come and see Leo and when I asked if Leo if he'd like Martina to visit, his face became a massive smile and he nodded his head furiously. We'll take that as a yes then! There's another visitor from Spain who is also one of Leo's best friends and that's Jack. But we're waiting on Jack's mum's passport to arrive as otherwise Jack will be able to come and Marie will have to stay home!

Leo is happily enjoying a quiet day today, having watched The Lion King earlier and now he's happy playing with Thomas the Tank Engine and friends. Much of his Thomas train set is still in Spain so he's having fun making the trains he does have run all over the bedroom, including under the bed. This causes much mirth as then I have to struggle to get them out with Leo's shrieks of laughter in the background. Whatever makes him happy!
