And Yet More Hospital Visits and Unwanted Temperatures...

Not a week goes by it seems without more unscheduled hospital visits and so last week Leo had another chest x-ray due to his on-going cough - x-ray was clear but to go back if he continues to lose weight and his chest / cough does not clear up.

Then Monday upon picking Leo up from school, his right eye was bright red and bloodshot, and it wasn't like that in the morning. So yet another conversation with the oncology day-beds unit who said they'd see Leo down in the kid's A&E department.

We all knew it was a simple viral conjunctivitis again but because it's his right eye, we need to make sure the infection does not take hold. He is more susceptible to these eye infections as we were reminded a few weeks ago but it does feel like it's one thing after another Leo. Having said that, he does take it all in his stride!

Today his temperature has started to creep up again but then his eye seems better with the ointment so not sure what the next few days have in store for him.
