Luke sat watching Star Wars last night and after falling asleep got woken up at 12.30 and 2am for observations. It was a nurse that hasn't worked night shift before and she turned the light on to do everything. Luke wasn't too impressed. The fire alarm went off again this morning at 5.30am but only for a minute this time. Blood wasn't taken till 7am with the morning obs.

They are a little concerned about his blood sugar levels. This morning they were 2.9 then 10 at 10.30am. By the evening they generally climb again. A normal blood sugar is around 5 - 7.5. We are pretty sure this is to do with the steroids he is taking but they are still looking carefully into this.

We spent the morning watching the winter Olympics.

His weight today was 79.0 so climbing slowly.

He had his "bee sting" injection just as Grandma & Granddad turned up with lunch. He ate his hospital lunch and a toasty sandwich. This afternoon he had 10 bags of cryoprecipitate for clotting as obviously this level was down again.

Blood levels today:
Haemaglobin 83 / White Cell Count 0.8 / Platelets 48 / Neutrophils 0.13

Nanny bought in our dinner tonight and Luke ended up having some yummy scones, jam and cream for his dessert. We are now settling down for a night of TV.
