Things started out reasonably well, William had a great Birthday on the 18th and was a really happy little man, running around like a loony. We had been looking forward to a nice quiet weekend and on the Saturday I cycled to Instow to let the little ones run around on the beach. Saturday night though things started to go down hill as we noticed William had a swelling on his neck, after calling NHS direct and having no joy I took the man to A&E (NHS direct finally called back 12 hours later at 0620). Anyway after three hours waiting in A&E William was admitted with an infected lymph gland. Over the weekend it kept growing until it was like half a table tennis ball sticking out of his neck. The only positive thing was that he was really happy in himself running around like a looney. After seeing a consultant on Monday he was then transferred to Bristol Children's hospital so that they could operate and cut the infection out. Debbie went with him and faced a sleepless four days up in Bristol with our little man whilst he underwent the Op. He is a resilient little bugger though as the night after the operation he climbed out his bed and went to the Nurses station to chase the Nurses around the ward (starting young) and the first thing Debbie new about it was when the Nurses woke her up and returned the little man.Anyway we finally got to take the Little man home Friday which was really great if a bit of a stressful journey
back from Bristol. It was great to see him back home and the first thing he did on getting home was to run over and sit on the tractor he had got for his Birthday.
