Happy Christmas Everyone!
A collection of festive Theo photographs to lend a little cheer to the blog.
We visited Theo first thing this morning to deliver his presents.
Unfortunately we did not get to hospital in time this morning to get photos of Theo meeting Santa or to hear the Salvation Army Band. Nor did we manage to capture his moments with the Leicester Tigers or City Football players or even Ray Quinn! He has had such a
busy week in the run up to today!
He continues to gain weight and is developing normally. He has started laughing which is weird to watch without any noise but you can identify it by the air patterns through the trachey blowhole. He finds funny noises amusing just like any other baby!!He is starting to spend some more time on his tummy as he is now allowed time off the vent (2 or 3 minutes) so that his neck tummy and arms can strengthen. This will enable him to learn to roll over and sit up by himself.
We have both proceeded with our trachey training and it is exhausting to have to go through it all.
I have finally called it a day on the expressing as I can not keep up with demand. I am so pleased I stood my ground about it though as I know I have done my best for him.
I will be spending Boxing Day and night with him at the hospital because it feels horrible not being with him at this time of year. We have tried to strike a balance for Sacha and Tabby so have passed the day at home.
If people would like to visit while they are off work over the holidays, let us know, we can try to accommodate.
With love from all of us - have a lovely Christmas Holiday x

Great to have some new photos and to hear that lovely Theo is doing so well. Hope that you are all managing the many demands just now. Please let me have your new address when you are settled.

Oh wow, amazing to see him doing so well, I know this must be such a hard time of year with him still so poorly and in hospital, when you just all want to be together, but it's amazing seeing the change in him and to see him progressing, even with all the health problems.
I'd love to come and visit but currently have stinking cold, but will be in touch when it has passed xx
great to see all the lovely photos and read that Theo is progressing well - we pray he goes from strength to strength through 2009 - thinking of you all and sending lots of oove

Hello Theo, I had a wonderful time with you on Tuesday and Wednesday, playing and making you smile was brilliant! I'll remember that you loved the froggy...
Lots of love, Auntie Bobo xxxx
