Bit more chirpy

We're glad that Pads seems to be a bit more chirpy today - perhaps his cold has turned a corner... but the cough is still giving the occasional paroxism. He's been quite busy, with a visit from his nurse to take blood (results say his counts are all fine), beating the play therapist at Skip-Bo (using his patented 'hand holder' - a strip of wood that allows him to view his cards without having to hold them in his left hand), then watching 'Big' with the tutor and all topped off with a trip to the chiropractor.
We're thrilled to see Moli's target of £100 nearly reached on the justgiving page so thanks to those of you who gave for that. Their participation in the race was put in doubt yesterday when Holly's motor couldnt manage reverse. We'll find out on Wednesday if Peter manages to fix it. Meantime, perhaps you would like to suggest something else that Moli could do to justify the sponsorship? :-)

Well wishes

There are some lovely things on Pads' wall from children he's connected with. The big one in the middle is from Glan Taff kids and arrived at Easter. The children at WICS sent a whole new batch of personal letters on Friday last - all very touching.
Pads was at Ruth and Rhys' for an overnighter: he watched The Bucket List (again!) and lazed about in their hot-tub. Then it was time to play Traffic Jam with the Christian Lewis Trust play therapist. She was able to take the generous £185 cash that Sarah's work colleagues had sponsored the Beacons Way hikers. After that, he was off to see the chiropractor, Dr Rachel Talbot, who is very kindly donating her services gratis in sympathy with Pads' situation. He always looks better, more refreshed, for these sessions.
