Just another quick update. Max had another good day today. The highlight for the day would be getting Max to take a bath without kicking up a fuss, not just once but twice! It might not sound like much of a highlight, but believe me, trying to wrangle him into a bath since we've been in hospital has been next to impossible. A red and a green Dora the Explorer sticker (our highest honour awarded in room T2) to Bee for her efforts in coaxing Max to not only get into the bath but also convincing him to sit down of his own accord.
It wasn't all smooth sailing however. After breaking some kind of record for the highest number of cotton balls used in a single nappy change, we've decided to turn down the feeds delivered by the gastric tube. Hopefully this slows down the chocolate fondant like flow at the other end. In the short term it seems to have had the desired effect. More challenges await us in the weeks ahead but for now everything is under control.
Thankyous:
To Jamie and Jill for the cool books
Cheers,
Tim

Hi Timmo, Bee and Max. Thanks for the updates, particularly given what sounds like some sleep deprivation and mental exhaustion. We're glad to hear things are going well so far and are keeping track with your blog. Max certainly sounds like he is being a very brave little man. We look forward to a photo of Timmo with the clippered hair. Danno, Shell, EJ and XS.
