Drew had the usual bloods taken this morning, the cannula's are getting uncomfortable and he hates the flushes. Dr Liz and Dr Helen visited and his spleen and liver are shrinking and his blood count his down to 29 from 376 000 - very good news. Lumbar puncture results not back yet. The Doctors haven't decided whether they will use a central line or a porta cath. Drew is still attached to the drip and having a shower involves putting both his arms into a plastic bag and taping them, he'd rather not have a shower and be Pepe Lepou instead. Drew had a visit from Mrs Ramsay and Hannah today and also met Ronnie the Play Therapist and Jess from the hospital school. He also discovered he could have bacon and scrambled eggs for breakfast - :O). He had a surprise visit from Vannessa, Spud, Ally and "Our Man" Todd - Drew was thrilled.
