Auntie Katie - Sorry for the delay in this update, been a busy few weeks with Christmas and Logans improvements
Sunday 13th January
Daddy took us out for a ride in the car I stayed awake all the time watching through the window. Still having milk through my tube. Mummy keeps giving me food, sometimes on a spoon and sometimes pieces of things. I play with it and throw it on the floor. She said I was a naughty boy! ME! Naughty! no no no. Why spend playing time eating when you can get it through a tube and read a book at the same time!

Friday 11th January
Mummy took me out of my buggy and gave me a go on a swing. Not sure! And a slide, Liked that! Did 20 laps of the coffee table, don’t sit down much now. Like to play banging things on table, when I have emptied them out of my toy box to choose which one to bang. Like noise.

Wednesday 9th January
Mummy still pushes me to hospital if it isn’t raining. Sometimes a bit of rain comes and I try to catch it but my cover stops me. Nurses at the hospital are very pleased with me. Still see my lovely nurses but different ones give me medicine now. I am getting my tummy toy taken out next week.

Saturday 5th January
Granny and Grandad came. Took me out in my buggy to feed ducks. Never seen real ducks before. Thousands of birds called seagulls kept putting their heads into the water to get the bread granddad threw. Some big things granny called geese followed my buggy when we walked away from the pond. I have to stay under my cover but it’s see through.

Friday 4th January
Just me and Mummy in this flat. Very quiet, no one comes in. Went to hospital in taxi. My clever mum gives me medicine and feeds me through my tube. Daddy coming soon.

Thursday 3rd January
Bye Bye all my lovely nurses. Who will throw you kisses and dance for you tomorrow. You’re going to miss me. I’ll miss you too. Got to love you all, even though you have done some horrid things to me, you’ve made me better. Thank you! XXXX

Wednesday 2nd January
Sad because daddy gone back. Granny & Grandad came and took me a ride in their grey truck to my half way house. I fell asleep. I sat on the floor and played with some on my new toys. Mummy has taken them there. My last sleep in hospital.

Tuesday 1st January
Everyone says “Happy New Year” don’t know why. Think it has something to do with me going to half way house on Thursday or Friday. Mummy & Daddy took me out in my buggy. I have a special cover over it and can only go to quiet places.

Monday 31st December
Daddy has keys to half way house. It’s a flat where we will live for a few weeks when I get out of hospital. It’s very near to hospital because I have to come back every day to start with and Mummy can bring me back quickly if I’m poorly. But I’m a good lad and won’t be.

Sunday 30th December
Doctor’s told Mummy & Daddy that I may be able to go to half way house in next few weeks. Half way to where?

Friday 28th December
Having a lovely time with mummy and daddy to play all day with my new toys. Feel lots and lots better. Mummy wears that sparkly ring on a chain round her neck for me to play with.

Wednesday 26th December
Granny, Grandad and Auntie Katie came today and brought more parcels. AT LAST I am allowed to play with some of the toys. They were ALL for my. Daddy even let me play with Thomas the Tank Engine. I know how to stop him going round and round the track. Daddy bought mummy a sparkly ring.

Tuesday 25th December
Mummy and Daddy came really early with lots of parcels in coloured paper. They sat me on the floor in the middle of them and showed me how to look at the label then pull the paper off. Struggle a bit to read the labels, fed up taking paper off. All the parcels have toys inside but they keep taking them away! Are they not for me? Why can’t I play with them?

Monday 24th December
Mummy put me to bed in my Christmas sleep suit Auntie Katie bought. We hung that key from Toni and George on the door for that Santa man to come in. Will he do my medicines tonight so nurses can have a night off. Hope he’s as quiet as them, I never really notice they come.

Friday 21st December
Daddy here today for a long time. He doesn’t have to go to work because of this Christmas thing. Don’t really know what it is, but a man called Santa in a red suit is on TV all the time and mummy keeps reading me books about him and some about a baby and his mummy & daddy in a stable. Everyone comes to see him but nobody touches him, just like me.

Thursday 20th December
Granny came today with a man I didn’t know. I watched him all the time. Mummy said he was her granddad, my great granddad. He stayed a while and I got used to him and showed him my walking.

Tuesday 18th December
Grandad Mike came; don’t see him often so not too sure. He brought me some keys!!! Just what I wanted. Used to have some that Max gave me but they stopped making music just after I came to hospital. These are much better they have more buttons and more tunes.

Monday 16th December
Mummy said I have a new friend on the internet! Is he stuck there!! He is called Harrison and is two weeks older than me but he has a similar thing to me! Mummy says he lives a long long way away but has his one Doctors and nurse to look after him! Are they are nice as mine? (Auntie Katie - see the link to Harrison's Blog below)

Wednesday 11th December
Putting more red stuff in me, it gives me more bounce! Mummy said it is because they take so much out of me each week, I would be all empty if they didn't put some back! Mummy has bought some special shoes for my feet! They make me walk I can do lots of steps now!! They make me dance better too!
Grandad came today we had a bath with lots of splashes! He tried to give me food but told him NO!

Sunday 8th December
Grandad and Granny back again! Silly nurses put socks on my hands! I took them off because they are meant to go on feet! Grandad said they put then on my hands because I was a naughty boy and kept pulling the food tube out of my nose! Big splashing in bath, I can get water everywhere if I splash hard enough! Getting good at splashing!
Mummy back today, gave her extra blow kisses! Toni & George have sent a MAGIC KEY for Santa to get into places where there is no chimney. I leave it on my outside my door for him and rudolf. Do hope I see Rudolf, someone tried to put ears like his on me. Boys don't wear reindear ears.

Lots of love

Saturday 1st December
Good day today I played on the floor, freedom from my cot!! (Auntie Katie - Letting Logan play on the floor is easier than it sounds! To protect him and all his parahanalia from potential infection the nurses first have to cover his cot and drawer units is protectve sheet to prvent contamination before moving these out of Logans area and placing treated mats on the floor. He is still limited as to the area he can move in as he needs to be constantly under his cooker hood!)
Gardad and Granny here today beause Daddy has to work. Grandad helped with bathtime, I don't like baths because I can't do splashing!
Still feeling tired.
Nighty night

LoganNo2 went somewhere to sleepy to listen, but lots of people around!

Tuesday 20th November
Feeling tired today. No energy to stand up and bounce. Grandad has come to help Mummy. Had nice cuddles with him to make me feel better. He played with my toys with me, I don't get as tired when Grandad helps me play. He does good playing! Tried getting pudding only again at tea time, but doesn't work with Grandad, so had to eat dinner first then pudding!
Getting more red stuff out of a bag tomorrow! The nurses say this will give me my bounce back!

Monday 19th November
Day of medicine today! Was sick quite a few times. Barney (Grandad's dog) was sick too. He had a bone from the butcher. Bone Marrow must make sickness! Doesn't bother me tho it just comes and I carry on playing while Mummy cleans it up. Tried not eating my roast chicken dinner to see what Mummy did: shook my head and told her NO! She still gave me pudding!!! Pudding's nicer than dinner! She said this is only because I am in hospital, when I'm home no pudding if I don't eat my dinner first. Telling LoganNo2 all my tricks to try when he is bigger!
Still had to have some milk poured in but I can help now, I twist the tube. Mummy can do my milk now, the nurses have shown her.
I have learned to press the button for music on my key toys. Did it for a whole hour! LoganNo2 kept saying 'Again, again'

Sunday 18th November
Started eating properly again now. I have four teeth!! Be able to bite soon! Because I'm having food my tummy is full and I didn't drink enough milk so the nurses put a tube up my nose and poured my milk into me like they do with LoganNo2. I wasn't scared because LoganNo2 has it like that and he says it is OK! Was a good boy and didn't play with my tube!

Saturday 17th November
I'm a star, SUPER STAR! Hope you all saw me last night. Can't write so autographs will have to be hand prints (do them when I'm painting)
On again this morning with Mummy. We might get more TV offers now! I want to be on 'Strictly'. I can do the bouncy dances, not up to moving around the floor yet, but wait till I can walk!
Expect Mummy will do the Pantene hair adverts!

Thurday 15th November
Granny came today and brought Great Grandad. His firstst 2 boys died with what I have (SCIDS). No one knew about it then. It was a very long time ago, even Granny wasn't here then.
It was only found (SCIDS) 20 years ago, good job Auntie Katie wasn't a boy.
Mummy says I can watch my box tomorrow as it about Children In Need. Daddy said it is about children who arn't as lucky as me. I got lots of friends, lovely nurses and clever Doctors and I am getting the best treatment. Logan No2 might be going home next week! I wonder if I'll get a new friend! I'll miss my talks with Logan No2!
Good night lots of kisses
Nearly forgot I am still trying to do blow kisses

Wednesday 14th November
Grandad back today. He could not give me my tea as I am not eating food, Mummy said it is because I am getting my front tooth I can bite then. I didn't enjoy bathing. Getting tired easily.

Bad day today! I went hungry all day, went for a ride in the van and sat about very bored. I normally have a big sleeps but I didn't today! Mummy says it is because the surgeon men were very busy and didn't have time to sort my tummy toys out.

They are all my friends I love them all and miss seeing them. When I am better I will promise to kiss everybody. More kisses for my girlfriends. I miss kisses!

I don't want to live in a box and be pushed in the slot at the bottom. Mummy said it would help THE BUBBLE FOUNDATION if I will be on the box. I will take advise of Logan No2 in his bubble next to me. I try to throw my toys at him to share, can't reach yet. We have a talk when no one is in our room.

Daddy pressed a button, it was magic it made ALL the doctors and nurses come and see me! As they struggled getting into their clothes they told him it was for emergencies.

Sunday 21st October
Sarah is my nurse today I like her lots, she plays silly games and pulls daft faces with me.Granny, Grandad and Auntie Katie came to see me, Granny was being silly and making me laugh.

My nice Doctor Steven said he would 'Chop my hands off' when I laughed at him. He was only joking. The nurses have put another toy in my hand, but they said it is only for 1 sleep, then they will put it back in my tummy!
Mummy left me on my own for a bit today and I got the gloves that everyone wears out of the box, so they are ready for them! Mummy said they dont need all of them out a once and that I was a beast! I tried to give her a pair to put on!
I have been grumpy all day, I miss my Daddy! and I dont like my toy being in my hand.

Thurday 25th October

Friday 19th October
Nurses gave me breakfast today, she gave me a big bowl full. All my nurses and doctors will decide when I will start my chemo. Mummy said it will be 12 sleeps away before I am better, I have a chest infection thats why I have tubes going in me. Mummy said they are steroids, Mummy said Daddy needs some, they make you big and strong.
