26/3/10 Day 134. Friday

We are awake from 2.30am to 4 am with Owen crying, unsettled and in pain. He pleads to go to hospital because "they will look after him there". Yep, the drugs are working. He is hot, itchy, and distressed and eventually throws up twice at one hour intervals. Exhausted but calm, he falls off to sleep. All he wants is to be well enough to go to the Grand Prix for the first time on Saturday with Challenge, the childrens support charity. And, is really disappointed that he could not get off to school today to present a project as it is the last day of term. The good thing is that he is young enough to catch up on all the things he is missing....
