movements


As you may have gathered from the twitter updates, the abdominal xray revealed that his intestine is packed tight. It is slightly frustrating to think that a few extra sachets of movicol earlier on in the week could have warded off this painful, draining episode. Pads got quite frustrated at being tired but not able to sleep this afternoon, with a clean side of a pillow getting covered in hair in a matter of seconds. He spent a while just pulling tufts of it out but, without a mirror, he couldnt make a tidy job of it. He may get out tomorrow but will be very weak and the planned trip to Llangrannog (a real rite of passage for Year 6 pupils) is looking very unlikely.

our thoughts exactly although he's not a fan of prunes! But actually he's allowed to eat ANYthing at the moment - it's just that he really doesnt fancy eating. This should resolve itself over the next days... after which it's wall-to-wall jerky!
