Little Leon is making progress!

Little Leon has had a reasonable day.  The big Cheese and the assistant cheese has visited him a couple of times today and are happy with his progress.  They have started to wean him off  a few of the drugs and turned down the ventilator so that Little Leon can learn to breathe on his own again.

Mummy is relieved that Little Leon is back from surgery

The muscle relaxant was turned off last night and Little Leons Mummy and Daddy went in to see him wiggling and pulling 'dont like it' faces, which made them very pleased.  They were a bit worried he would knock out the breathing tube and as they were putting on his little mits, he grabbed their fingers and held on tightly!  That told Mummy and Daddy that he knew they were there and he didnt want them to leave!

Little Leon is still asleep to help him heal

Because Little Leons core temperature was a bit high, the lovely nursey laydees put him under a blanket blowing cold air, it cooled him well, a bit too well because his hands and feet were freezing cold, so they turned off the blanket and put some cooling packs under his arms, laying in his sleepy state, Little Leon was thinking he had seen something similar in Mummys fridge and she uses them to keep the pic nics cool!!!

Little Leon has a honeycomb dressing over his new zipper and will do a 'reveal' when its healed properly!

Auntie Sarah, visited and has bought Little Leon some tools to be able to dig and plant flowers in the little patch in the allotment that she has set aside especially for him.  Little Leon thinks Sunflowers would be a good start, or maybe some sweet peas!

Dr Noel is getting his own fan club in the Intensive Care Unit with everyone wondering where he came from and if he has any brothers or sisters!

Mummy will update with more news later, in the meantime they all say a HUGE thanks for the love and support from all the friends family and Team Leon!
