Once upon a time, not so very long ago........

Little Leon was born with a poorly heart. This made his Mummy and Daddy sad and they decided to search for a special friend who would keep Little Leon company and look after him while he was in hospital.............

The Adventure begins..............

Little Leon opens his eyes!

Woo! Today Little Leon has been very busy making steady progress.  Overnight he was weaned off a couple more drugs and his ventilator was turned down and a couple of drains were taken out. Leaving just one left.

During the day, his morphine was turned down and then stopped. Little Leon started to wake up! But no wiggling and giggling as yet, he still has the nasty tubey thing up his nose and down into his lungs!  He is letting Mummy and Daddy know hes not happy with it by trying to pull it out!  So they have had to put little mittens on his hands!

Little Leon opens his eyes, but isnt happy about the tube up his nose!
After lunch Mummy and Daddy came back in to find Little Leon missing!!  he had sneaked off into a room of his own, pushed by his nursey laydee!  He is getting nearer the door, which he thinks means they will let him out soon!  The laydees upstairs are waiting impatiently for his arrival.

Little Leon catching up on some healing sleepi
So as Mummy and Daddy left for the evening, Little Leon snuggled with his little bear and hid his caterpillar under his blanket just in case his night nurse wants to snuggle with it as well!  Hopefully he will stay on the ventilator over night and when they have the big important ward round in the morning, they might take it off so he can breathe more easily as they say on the advert.....

Hopefully he will be a good boy and make some more progress overnight and surprise the important people in the meeting in the morning!

More updates soon!
