Dare I say it?

Finally we are meds free again and almost (we are never truly) rash/blotch free! Herbs has 3 teeth coming through , is chatting up a storm and seems to be happy & healthy. His sense of humour is shining through again...the boy is a comic genius...mmm, hope he doesn't forget his dear old mum when he is a famous comedian!
Yesterday was Red Nose Day and as I watched the children dying in Africa because their mums couldn't afford the bus fare to the hospital I was forced to think about how very different our situation might have been last March had we not had the NHS with the speedy ambulance, fab paramedics and amazing team at the JR hospital. This kind of service should be available to everyone wherever they live in the world.
This morning the sun is shining & Spring is definitely making her presence felt, good on her...it's just what Herbie needs and me too :)

I hate this...our friend's son has Leukemia, he's 5. We are understandably devasted by this news and worried about the whole family. We have spent evenings just discussing what they are going through, the pain and uncertainty. It's seem selfish that it has stirred up emotions in Dan and I that have only just gone under, but are close to the surface, when we should just be thinking of them. I keep watching Herbie and reliving some of the worst moments...I have to remind myself how bad things were at times. The JR hospital, Children's Wards, are some of the best in the country...they will cure my little train loving buddy just like they did our Herbster...I just want to wave a wand so that it's done now for all of them :(
