This is Leo this afternoon, with his most favourite nurse in the world - Sarah has become a firm favourite and is the weekly Clic Sargent community nurse who keeps in touch, liaises with the hospital in-between our visits, answers all our mundane questions which she has no doubt been asked a million times, does Leo's weekly blood tests and flushing his central line, trained me how to flush and care for his line as well as played with Leo, kept him happy when we can't (or feel like we can't) and is generally just an amazing person who has helped all three of us through some tricky times. As this photo clearly shows, Leo adores Sarah and although his line is coming out soon, she does keep in touch and there's some continuity with her as this next year may throw up all sorts of things which she can help with.
For those who raised all that cash in Spain as part of the King's College / Polaris World Fundraising events back in November, your contributions to Clic Sargent helps to pay for nurses just like Sarah to help children like Leo and families just like ours.
One final update, unfortunately the operation to remove Leo's central line has been put back to the day before Christmas Eve which does mean that Leo will be sore for a few days, but no doubt a few presents from Father Christmas will help take his mind off things!
