Sunday 19th October 2008 - Mummy was here when I woke up this morning and daddy was still asleep. I was very happy to see mummy but I also had a temperature so my nurse said they would keep a close eye on me today. I'm not sure the man has taken all of his flu back or left me some of it but it doesn't matter because I can handle it.
When daddy woke up he put the TV on and we watched some pretty cars whizzing about and making lots of noise. Daddy was very happy because he said he hadn't been able to watch it for a long time! I'm not sure what he missed though but I was happy enough to sit with daddy and have a cuddle while mummy went to her room to have a shower and get changed.
While me and daddy watched the fast cars daddy put me in my chair and I had half a jar of porridge before my nurse brought my milk. I was very good and didn't bring any of it back up so it all stayed in my tummy even though I have a little temperature and keep having to let mummy and daddy wipe my nose.
Another doctor came in to see me when mummy got back from her shower. He was very nice and didn't stab me and said that mummy and daddy must be very tired of staying at the hospital. He also said he was sorry it was taking such a long time and that he hoped that once my antibiotics stop I will be closer to being allowed to go home. The doctor said I was looking better and better every day and he said I was going to be fine, even though I had a runny nose again!
Daddy had another sleep and mummy gave me some cheesy vegetables for lunch. I really liked it and ate half a jar again and wasn't sick even after I had some milk too! I had a sleep and when I woke up my nurse came to weigh me. I don't like being weighed very much, it's very uncomfortable, but I didn't protest for too long. My nurse told mummy that I was 10lb 5oz. Mummy and daddy are very impressed and said that they can see I am putting weight on at last. I just hope I can keep it!
Because mummy stayed here with daddy last night she was very tired because all my alarms kept waking her up so she had a little sleep. Unfortunately, my alarms kept going off again so she didn't sleep for too long! Daddy gave me some yoghurt for lunch and, as a special treat, he let me have some really sticky sweet oozy stuff that was leaking out of his bun! He said it was jam and it was yummy scrummy! Then he took some pictures of me with bits of it around my mouth and on my nose and showed mummy when she woke up. Mummy said I looked very cute!
After I'd had another sleep mummy and daddy played with me and tried to put me in the funny bendy positions that the lady did last week. She had given mummy and daddy some paper with pictures of me in funny bendy positions so mummy and daddy were trying hard to get me to do the same again. I had other ideas though and was quite happy just sitting with daddy on the mat while daddy was being silly with my toys.
I got very tired again after all the bending so mummy and daddy put me in my cot and I fell asleep very quickly. Mummy said she can't stay at the hospital anymore because my alarms keep her awake so she will go to her accommodation later and I will see her in the morning.
