Home Tomorrow

So the pops are going and Leo should be home tomorrow - yippee! He's practically turned his room into an art gallery so tomorrow we need to make sure we pack up properly and not leave any art behind! He'd know, for sure as he remembers everything. I've added some pictures which show what Leo's been up to with some rather more interesting things to do with a hospital bowl...

Once home, he'll have another 10 days of oral anti-viral meds to take which is in addition to the last 7 days of IV anti-virals. We're also likely to keep him relaxed and not doing too much so as he can get better without any hiccups. Not sure if he'll be back at school Monday but we'll wait and see. As and when he does go back, he's been off for nearly three weeks so we'll need to be careful to phase him in properly otherwise we may end up in the same place as before, where he wasn't eating and having anxiety problems.

Another Few Days

Leo's doing a bit better - well enough to do lots of artwork and sticking and learning, in between sleeping! His temperature is more regulated now and only spikes back up to the 39s once a day so that's better for him, and makes him more comfortable.

He still has new pox coming out each day so the virus is active. Today's new pox were on the soles of his feet and in between his fingers, plus one of the earliest pox has become infected so we just need to keep an eye on it.

Fingers crossed he'll be home Wednesday evening sometime..we hope..as long as the pox stop cropping!
