Back to Normal

Leo has eaten plenty of food this week and probably back to semi-normal since Monday night when he scoffed the spag bol to yesterday and today where he's eaten plenty of pizza whilst we visited with Mel, Charlie and Louis. It was nice to see Leo eating nicely as well as playing with Charlie.

Today was back to normal though, with another red, sore exit site on his chest so back to the hospital we went. Another journey into the Oncology Day Beds Ward and this time the docs have decided to give him 12 hourly antibiotics which means Leo can come home to Clic House in between. He's not unwell apart from the fact he has a red, sore chest and he sounds like he is getting a cold. I'd say he's more unwell this time than the lst two times he's had an infection so let's wait and see if the infection is dampened again by the anti-biotics or whether it takes hold.

Leo also had a good old cry today, which as I held him, it felt as though he was really letting go for the first time since this whole adventure started. If there were a 'Cry Whisperer' nearby as he cried, I feel they would have translated it as proper sadness, real pity and very down. I think Leo had realised his chest as he was crying was bad again and knew it would mean another visit to the hospital. He was all tired and clingy when we got there and it was the least energetic many of the nurses had seen him....until that is, he realised that he would not have to stay there overnight!

So tomorrow's another day and let's see what it brings...
