Our beautiful little LGR has had another issue with his left arm. We initially suspected it was broken again but couldn't figure out how it happened. We now know that he had been bitten (attacked) by mozzies and his arm and hand had swollen like a balloon. Literally. His skin was very tight and quite red.
It turns out that very bad reactions to mozzies are treated by a combination of painkillers, antihistamines and steroids. So my 4 year old boy is on steroids!! They are very expensive but appear to have worked a treat. At the time of writing the swelling has gone quite a lot and there are no more complaints of pain. Mobility has come back and so has the sweet little smile :-)

Hayzey took her first tumble out of bed last night. In a bizarre sort of way it was quite sweet. At about 01:00 Mrs G and I both woke up at the sound of a distinct thump. We both raced (literally) into Hayzey's room and found her lying on the floor, next to the bed, quietly whimpering but more or less asleep. I picked her up very gently and held her in my arms while Mrs G remade the bed. I don't think Hayzey even woke up ....
