Giving ... and Receiving with Thanks

We've found many people very giving today as we've been given:
  • Time, and lots (and lots and lots) of energy, from Leo's Uncle Jon who collected some furniture for our new house today, plus played with Leo for about 3 hours!
  • A fabulous present for Leo from Uncle Jon and Auntie Karen - a lovely Spiderman pop-up house for his new bedroom (which Leo kept making Jon get into and sit in with him!!)
  • Items of furniture, all of which has been given to us either my family, friends of friends or via the recycling / freecycling site www.freecycle.org
  • Food, for Leo and PJ, at his mum's house this afternoon, which Leo loved so much - one advantage of being back in the UK is that Leo gets to see all of his grandparents much more.
  • Efforts and lots of it from Cylla, the Clic Sargent Social Worker, who is doing much on our behalf to access info and grants for various things to make Leo's life easier.

Leo is full of energy and was even really nice to his doctor this morning, which makes a change. I think maybe he's cheered up because he knew he was coming home today after another couple of days in hospital. He's certainly wearing PJ and I out with his energy...are they sure it's only chemo or antibiotics they're giving him? I am amazed at how much energy he has pretty much day-in, day-out. Not complaining one bit, though!
