Oh dear , it’s been far too long since I updated Corwin’s blog. After our holiday to the Isle of Wight Corwin settled back into Preschool with confidence. He now goes for four morning sessions of 2.5 hours with full one to one support. He had his end of term report recently (!) which says ‘he is really growing in confidence’ and ‘is starting to form friendships’. He also seems to have a talent for jigsaws as his concentration is excellent. I am told he is a well behaved boy at preschool.
Corwin has generally been well but did have 6 days in hospital with pneumonia just before Christmas. Because of his heart condition the chest infection caused his oxygen levels to dip to only 50% so he needed several days on oxygen, iv fluids and iv antibiotics. He coped very well with everything and I was surprised how well behaved he was. He was very distressed at times for example when they had to take blood or put his canular in ( it came out twice) but he did not fight any of the doctors and did not pull at any of the many wires and tubes. We missed his cardiology appointment while he was in so we see Glenfield on January 11th to discuss his next stage of surgery. Corwin also missed his first ever nativity play , he was going to be a King.
Thankfully Corwin came home a week before Christmas so we were able to get things organised and enjoy Christmas day at home. The boys were thoroughly spoiled as usual, Corwin even had gifts left to open on Boxing Day! It was a quiet Christmas day as we had lunch at my parents then my parents joined us for tea at ours. The boys behaved so well! They carefully opened presents , played nicely and ate plenty. We even had a white Christmas here so took the boys outside to make a snowman! Corwin’s toys included a giant car garage, duplo house, Mr Potato Head, various Thomas the tank Engine gifts and much more. Rowan had a rocking horse, duplo zoo, In the Night Garden gifts etc.
We don’t have anything planned to see in the new year. We have some sparklers left over from Bonfire Night so may take the boys outside with them before bed. 2010 is set to be a stressful year as Corwin is likely to have three operations. Lets hope 2010 goes as smoothly as possible.
Happy New Year!
