bloods

Pads couldnt face having the finger prick today to get the drop of blood out for his blood test - the visiting nurse had no choice but to access his port - the consultant wont like that because there's a higher risk of infection - he'll be 'wearing' the needle at least until next Tuesday for the kidney function test. The only idea left is to get the 'play specialist' involved. Just talking to him about it you can tell he 'cant go there'. He and mum went to Cosco today - ate a large hunk of pizza - came away with a large box of de-lux cookies and a 3lb tub of pretzels (the latter he is finding irresistable, the former are hidden from nibblers).
So far he's in reasonable shape for the trip to London tomorrow though - so long as Asher's cold doesnt catch hold.
