Just a note to say Andy’s getting lots of texts off you all, thanks, he’s been trying to reply but for some reason neither of our phones will send texts, we’ve tried and they’re all coming back fialed! We’ve tried to sort it with T. mobile but to no avail.

We CAN NOT get Jack into the physiotherapy room for his standing bed therapy! As soon as we enter the area he won’t have it. There are lots of people in there at the same time and we tried to lie him on the bed on monday, strapped him in and stood him up, all while he was having a paddy! Then the doctors turned up to compound the situation. Everyone is finally in agreement – he doesn’t like the place! We got him out and calmed him down and now I have to keep taking him down for walks to pop in and “play” and say hello, try to get him used to going. ( It’s not working yet!!!)
He had his IV yesterday, which didn’t go too badly, once they’d got the IV into him hand. He wouldn’t smile at any of the nurses though that kept coming in to check on him. He just curled his lip up and grunted at them. I thought being here would help with his phobia of doctors but its making him worse. The doctors come in every morning and he’s still screaming at them, in fact he was doing his physio yesterday and I said to Daisey, that the doctors sound like they are on their way. Jack understood and started looking at the door and crying before they even arrived! When he’s crying he gets all hot and bothered and his chickenpox scars all glow red, well the doctors started panicing thinking he was having an alergic reaction. As soon as I said “chickenpox scars” they calmed down. “Ahhh, chickenpox!” nodding to each other, “Phew”.
I actually went out on my own today. I went to the clothes store but decided not to walk as soon as i got outside! I got in a motorised rikshaw (they were all fighting over me) and went for a nice bumpy ride for about 35p. I wasted my time there though there was nothing in my size! The people here are so slim and small (well thats my excuse!) I rikshawed to the supermarket and then back to the hospital. Its definately the way to travel. Ive told Andy to do it, save that sweaty walk back when he goes food shopping, but he says he needs the exercise. (Really he doesn’t trust his life in their hands!)
It’s Jack teatime now so I’ve got to go.
love Jane, Andy and Jackpot
