9/12/09 Day 27 Wednesday

Still no sign of getting out. Another bag of platelets. There are small bruises all over his body, so it is obvious that he is bleeding easily. Visitors drop in, with gifts... and he couldn't be happier.

Asleep at last, with Lego, paper, textas and pencils right next to him on his bedside table.
Ready to play the moment he is awake. He loves his new hand made quilt(Made by Angus Mc's mum ). Removes all of the generic hospital blankets and proudly puts it on his bed. An opportunity to give him ownership and control over his surroundings, his new home.

Surprised everyone today by giving himself his own finger prick and squeezed out blood for the nurse. Taking control... Show you his secret weapon later this week.

Caught up with other parents on the ward at a dinner put on by Challenge (Cancer support group). Full of wonderful, tired parents and carers. 2 years, 4 years, 5 years......

Dear Snowman.
The new quilt looks very good indeed. Toasty. Looking forward to the secret weapon, whatever that is!

Stay happy!

Hi Owen,
Your "funniest friend" Nate would just like to say he is thinking of you and missing your jokes to laugh at.
Best wishes, Nate and family

Gidday Owen,
quilts are very groovy and that one you have on your bed is fantastic, the red squares are "cool banana's"
Keep a look out for "The Chocolate Pusher" he's a shifty fella.
Take Care & Best Wishes
