Friday 29th July

What will today bring, I wonder??!! Christopher had another bad day yesterday. I've been here since 7am and all I can say is my ickle man has a very determined look on his face.
Ooops spoke to soon, ward round just been and it looks like we might be here for some time :(
Christopher's consultant has just been to see us and has said he thinks Christopher has a DVT in his swollen leg, he's on blood thinners and he's also been measured up for Ted stockings. He's just been for his second scan on it, but because it's so swollen they cant pick anything up, so they don't know as to what extent it is.
We look a right pair in our matching Ted stockings, I'm still wearing mine since my operation in April because my legs are still very swollen and sore. There all telling us to move on them but for Christopher it's really painful and he also has to carry his drains with him, you just don't know if you're coming or going, everyone tells you something different.
Daddy made Christopher some pasta to have for tea tonight, he's so fed up with the hospital food, he's not eating much at all. When Daddy and the girls go home, we snuggle up with popcorn and a Christmas movie, who says we cant still have our Friday night movie. Since being in hospital we've watched every Christmas movie going, Christopher has discovered Friends Christmas DVD and he absolutely loves the Gavin & Stacey Christmas special. It's become a bit of a joke on the ward the way all you can hear is the theme tune for Gavin & Stacey, even through the night lol.
Through all the time we've been here I've been truly touched by all the lovely, warm support of all the wonderful people we know. We've had so many messages, cards & presents. Today when Daddy came he brought with him a parcel from home that one of Christopher's very kind friends had dropped off. It was a big bundle of his own WWE wrestlers that he thought Christopher would like, how amazing that a little boy can give away his own toys to cheer up his poorly friend . That's the amazing part of this kind of experience. Thank you everyone, we'll never foget what everyone's done.
