3 days to go.....

Well, we've made it back down to Glasgow and settled into the flat, Max is being bathed by daddy whilst i'm having a glass of wine updating my blog :)

We had a few family and neighbours pop in past yesterday to wish us all good luck which was so nice although I started feeling very anxious as the reality sets in. We wish we didn't have to be here at all but the thought of Max being better and us starting to do things as a family again makes me quite excited. We have really missed going out and about and doing the normal things, its been this way since November so we honestly can't wait to get going again.

Max is due into the hospital on Monday afternoon for his operation first thing on Tuesday morning. I will stay the night before because although he is familiar with hospitals he is so much more aware now and needs one of us with him. The good thing is he has no idea whats about to come and so its just Simon and I that have been dreading the 8th - Max has been his usual happy smiley self and that sometimes makes it harder as outwardly he looks so well.

Tomorrow we plan to have a nice day together and take Max to the park ect although I just want the day to pass so we can get on to the next and get things moving.

I never imagined parenthood would be such a rollercoaster but even at this point its the most rewarding job we could ever do.

Thanks again to everyone for their support and a special thanks to Max's friend Murray (and his mummy Emma) who made Max the cutest 'Get well soon' card complete with cotton wool balls and lots of paint!!!
