The end of our first week.

Well we made it! One week down, 5 more to go. Adam has been doing better everyday, in the way he is responding and acting towards treatment and hospital. He does get very anxious and was worried on Friday that removing his gripper needle was going to hurt. I had to explain it would be taken out when he was asleep so he wouldn't feel a thing - don't think he trusts us completely anymore!

We have managed to have a relatively "normal" weekend too. On Saturday our friend Judi celebrated her 50th birthday and had a BBQ at the Pavilion at the Meadows. We were not sure if we would be able to attend or not but as Adam was doing so well we decided to go for a little while. Adam got fed up pretty quickly but the other boys had a great time playing with all the other kids and it was great for Spike and I to catch up with all our friends that we haven't seen for ages. Adam sat in the car twice watching a DVD, I tell you - that was a very good investment for us that DVD player!!!

After we got home Adam was a little sick and then went off to bed, to be honest I have lost track of his sleeping pattern as it is so erratic. All I know is that we NEVER get more than 4 hours without him wakening these days. I think my brother and sister-in-law get more sleep with my 5 week old niece!!!

Had a nice relaxing day so far today, Paul away playing in a football tournament and Spike golfing. Other boys been out playing in the garden and also in playing with Mia downstairs. Wer going to meet Spike at the golf club ater for a juice and Adam wants to cycle down instead of taking the car, that should be interesting!!

Back to the new regime tomorrow again, boys at breakfast club and us at the Western.

Thank you to everyone for collections that have been made on our behalf. It is a very difficult time for us but we are also finding it difficult to accept peoples generosity, we have been completely overwhelmed! We are not used to being on this side of the collections. It is all appreciated greatly as Spike is no longer able to work due to our new circumstances.

Thank you so much, we are very lucky to have you all as our friends.

Lynn, Spike and the troops!
