We are still here!!! Honest!!

Apologies, I have been so tired the last few days that I have not had the inclination to pop on to update, so sorry if you have been checking daily!

Everything has been going really well this week, think that is why I haven't been on here much too. Adam seems to be on an "up" at the moment. He is very upbeat and gets very excitable in the mornings about going to the Western, although that may be something to do with June, our fabby nurse. She never ceases to amaze us every morning with Scooby and Scrappy doing something different eveyday.....they have been playing football, playing golf, having a BBQ, having a medical to play for Sunderland AFC, been at the library, having a long lie and still in bed when we arrived, they were even hiding from us one morning and Adam had to go "seek" them! June is making our time at the Western very pleasant, as is all our "sleepy" doctors (anesthetists).

He had his bloods checked again today at the Sick Kids and they are better than last week so we are very, very happy. He seems well, a little tired maybe, but he has been in to nursery 3 times this week so far, which is brilliant and we have left him there and picked him back up so that has been even better!!

We also had a special visitor to the house today, David has been friends with Darren McCormack for many years and Darren just so happens to be a young, up and coming footballer with Hibernian FC, he has very kindly given Adam his football shirt that he has worn this season and he has signed it for him. Here is Adam with Darren's shirt and with Darren himself. Cheers Darren!








Only got 3 more sleeps until Uncle Craig and Kira arrive!! Craig says that Kira is very excited, I just hope she wont be too cold, not used to our Scottish weather, so I hope she brings the sunshine with her.

Thanks again to everyone for their continued support, feels like we have been on this journey forever already and it's actually only been 5 and a half weeks!

Will update again in a day or two!

Sounds like Adam is coping really well with his treatment which must be good for all the family.
His nurse sounds like she is wonderful.
Take care x

it sounds like you have some amazing people making a difficult time some FUN! I know you want fun in Adam's life as well as in the boy's lives too. Enjoy all the fun you can get...Now, of course, I'm really wishing I'd encouraged the boys to support Hearts more and I could've just happened to be popping in with some grapes when any the players were coming to visit (Did Scott not get a free Hearts top from Vlad last year, or was it Marc? but then it's probably being used as a duster in your house) :-) I hope you and Spike are getting some rest (and sleep). We've just got a new Wii console...so if yous ever pop in, there's something to do now :-)

Take care and we're here any time
