christine isn't too bad now, she feels a lot better knowing he isn't going to be badly scared. I think she's starting to realise that it's just a bad accident and not her fault. I think she'll just be much hapier when she can get him home again.

awww tilly, hope everythin is ok hun. let us know how she's doin. Is it possible it's asthma or broncilitis? My 3 eldest had that as babies but they seem to have grown out of it now.
joshua had his scan this morning, looks like most of the burn is not as bad as originally thought. There is some that is a little deeper than hoped but he should heal well. They were hoping to take him off the feeding tube tonight in hope that he'll be hungry in the morning and want to eat. He is going to see a dietician whilst at the hospital. As far as i know they are going to try him on codine tomorrow instead of morphine to change his dressings, if it goes ok he may be allowed home on friday.

Hi Christine and Josh. Sorry this is belated, but I have been sending lots of hugs and love via Jen. Josh-you are a strong lil boy, and can get through this. Chris-hang in there, kid, everything will be just fine.
