Another good day today. We were able to go and eat together again and Patrick enjoyed our little walk with the buggy. Isaac seemed to enjoy it too and he was very hands on with his little brother. He was very sweet and kept stroking Paddy's face and eye occasionally!
Poor Paddy has got a cold now it seems and it was quite strange giving him such an innocuous medicine as calpol(R). It seemed quite inferior compared to the other drugs he has been (and remains) on. He has had a slightly raised temperature and looks pretty cute with very rosy cheeks.
Again, he is even more vocal today and is joining in with the conversation more. He is still feeling the effects of the ventilator and when he coughs, he sometimes follows it with the most sweet yet pathetic little squeak which breaks your heart to hear.
Given his age, we are wondering if it is a cold or if maybe he is teething. Such a normal thing that seems so strange given the surroundings. Everything has a surreal feeling in the Hospital. Us going for a walk with the little boys is really strange, freeing yet with constant reminders of our lack of freedom. Sounds dramatic I imagine but very difficult to explain how it feels.
Anyway, it is still all positive, even with Patrick's cold, so bring on the rest of the week cos our baby is coming home! Yay!
Love from
Martin, Gemma, Ashley, Billy, Isaac and Patrick

We are casting soon for the film of the blog but we are not sure if Angelina Jolie and Bob Hoskins are available though.
