October has been a month full of resuming regular appointments & establishing new ones.

 On October 22nd Owen's malecot gastrostomy tube was sucessfully changed over to a Mic-key button (lower profile feeding tube) at Great Ormond Street. It was lovely to have a quick, problem free appointment without any surprises. It was nice to say hello to Owens Stoma Nurse again but even nicer to say goodbye. As the appointment was so short we decided to visit the café ( I don't know maybe we missed it) Bad idea as when we wanted to leave we ended up spending more time trying to get Florence away from the play therapists doing arts & crafts then we did in the whole of Owens appointment. The Play therapists  were packing up so managed to persuade Florence it was time to go by giving her a little bag of arts and craft materials to do at home.

 

We were particularly keen to make a quick get away as it was Lilly's 8th Birthday. 

 

 We have had a few niggles mainly concerning the site around the button, But nothing major.
We do think Owen has put on weight, he is losing his skinny ribs & re-gaining his scumptous squishable cheeks. 

 Nearly, nearly have news on a school place just awaiting final confirmation... Fingers crossed!!!

 On Friday we took excited delivery of Owen's new bed!!!! We are looking at moving Owen into his own room very soon...Eeek!!!!

 So that's October in a nutshell...
Of course it is the 31st so watch this space for some upcoming Spooooky. pictures
