Day +14

Hi All, Today was sooo much better than yesterday. I had a pancake for breakfast so I didn't need to be fed down my tube. Then at lunch time I had pureed carrots with peaches and custard for desert... then at dinner I had lasagne and now I feel like a sponge cake... hmmmm... think I might be getting my appetite back! I woke up early and mummy read to me, then the doctor came and said I was doing great!. My neutrophil count has now gone up to 0.09. After that I had a shower (which is so much easier now cos of my lack of hair!) and then physiotherapist Clare came. She was pretty tough and I was wrecked afterwards (but she is really nice I know she is reading this :-). Check me out on my wobble board with no hands!! We tried to put on my socks but we’re not quite there yet. We’ll get there though!! Then the teacher came and we are making a really lovely handbag… No maths today – yay!!. Watched the DVD Hairspray and then Paula the play nurse came in and we made sequined postcards. Paula also brought me a brochure for wigs.. I can pick out two. They are really cool wigs, I am getting one with a scarf and one with a bandana. Am still thinking about colours. maybe one dark and one blonde… although I do like being blonde.. have to think about that one. After all that I fell asleep and woke up just in time for Friends. Mummy said I was talking in my sleep and I kept saying ‘lift your arms’! Clare’s instructions are really stuck in my head :-). Thanks everyone for all your comments, its part of our evening ritual to read them!! Gail thanks so much for the song, its really fantastic. You should write songs instead of being a nurse :-) Mummy sang it to me very very badly… she should not give up the day job!! Anyway, I’ve now got to work on making a bowl of sponge cake with custard disappear….. tough life talk to you tomorrow xxx Oh and tomorrow I will send pictures of who the famous vistors are.. no one has guessed yet...and Oh I've been here exactly a month today!! xxxx
