Doing Good

Even more normality with more swimming today, more school (for both PJ and Leo!) and catching up with Leo's Clic Sargent nurse.

In fact, we're so much into normality that Leo's swimming today was nearly as though he has always been swimming...nearly as though there was no gap between last April in Spain and today in a warm-ish indoor pool in the UK. I think we kind of forget that whilst our children undergo such major treatment for cancer, they still grow up.

They still go from being a 3 year 3 month old and now he's 3 weeks from being a lovely 4 year old, and what's got him to this point is normality, as well as the chemo, antibiotics, blood transfusions, general anaesthetics and radiotherapy. He is who he is because of all this as well as what he should be..if that makes sense?

Anyway, another day tomorrow. More school, more playing, no hospital..not for another week or so, and yet there'll no doubt be some pretend playing doctors and nurses with central lines and blood pressure being checked!
