Why am I looking so pleased with myself?...

...I've had a productive day!...(please excuse the little bit of Oregano stuck in my teeth!)...
 It's Sammy's 7th birthday next month, and he has asked for a party and to invite all the children in his class...I am really excited about it, it is such a huge step in Sam's confidence building. The trouble is, I haven't organised a 'little' party for quite some time...Adam only had a handful of parties as we were normally on holiday, or he chose swimming parties, cinema etc..Jack hasn't been interested at all, he can't bear anything of the sort really, hands over the ears, a little hitting of his head in frustration, and woe betide anyone thinking of having balloons within a mile radius!!...bless him. But Sam is really up for it, and I have had to get in contact with the school to ask about the other special children, what they can/can't eat, what they may be afraid of, width of wheelchair etc...it'll be lovely I'm sure. So, I've set about making invitations for Sammy to pass on his friends, especially little Charlotte who is the apple of his eye right now...he tells me that she makes him "happy"...awww...

...I've also spent most of the day at Addenbrookes with Adam, following from a spell in Intensive care at the back end of last year, we were asked to come back to see the Renal team to have a chat about what his spell may have done to his only kidney..we met with a specialist from Nottingham Children's hospital and to say he was concerned about Adam was an understatement, but in a good way. My poor lad has got to endure a couple of months of full on tests to check bladder function, measurement and kidney function and measurement...although Adam's kidney is growing, it is not big enough to compensate for losing the other one, which should have started to happen by now...so, a stressed mummy-bird for the next couple of months, however, I'm totally happy with our visit today and really pleased that things are being done at last...I've had to bang my hands pretty hard on the table for this!...
 Back to my creativity, as well as little Sam's birthday looming, so to is that special day when we send tokens of our affection to the ones we love, well, I'm usually the recipient, I actually struggle to get the front door open on Valentines day, due to the sheer volume of cards etc!...haha!, but, if you do want my address, just shout me!!.. ;-)

So, I'm back with glue and pens and have been busy again...
