Happy Birthday Harri

Well, Harri celebrated his 14th birthday on Saturday, (he is an old hand at this teenager thing). Unfortunately Harri had been feeling unwell towards the end of last week, and it came to a head on saturday, when he was miserable all day. By Monday we had been to the doctors, who had requested a chest x-ray. This all resulted in a trip to the emergency department fearing he was coming down with pneumonia. Fortunately tests showed that he has not developed a pneumonia, but a bout of paraflu #3. So he is still feeling unwell. I have promised to make up his birthday fun next weekend.

He is very impressed with his main present from his Mum and me, an iPad. We have been looking at accessibility apps (applications/programs) for it. We do have to refer to it as an iPod touch, as if we don't, it causes jealousy with his brothers.

We have been increasing the use of the ABR machine again, but unable to get any hours overnight, because Harri still has not settled down into good sleeping patterns since his surgery in May this year. The new supercharger still eludes us as Harri is finding it difficult to maintain a comfortable position for any decent length of time. But the new egg treatment is proving to be our main stay, although positioning myself is difficult and i don't think i am increasing my efficiency all that well.
