Not a Lot of Talking Going On

Well the patient has recovered at last - but it's been a very unpleasant few days for him. Plenty of sleep, plenty of antibiotics, plenty of painkillers, plenty of rinsing with Savacol and not much food have led to a still swollen face and a boy who has lost nearly 3 kilos. I knew he was feeling better today when I saw him give a little step and a shake of the head when a song came on tv. The night in hospital was uneventful; he got back to the room around 9pm and I stayed until nearly 11 then went to G's Mum and had a very comfortable nights' sleep. Went back to the hospital at 8am but didn't leave there until mid-morning after the surgeon had been. Mum came home with us and proceeded to lavish much attention on Drew which he duly lapped up! Day 3 was definitely the worst day. Today he looks much better and can even manage half a smile.

Yesterday, with friends.
