Week Ending 16 September 06
I cannot believe that it has been so long since my last update, my dad is really slacking.

How am I? Well to be honest I am okay at the moment, the last couple of months have been good, the medical side of
things has been quiet except for an appointment with the renal consultant who increased my medication for my
Neuropathic bladder.

I saw a joint Plastic/orthopaedic team of consultants on 12 Sept to see what can be done with my right arm, as I have
no elbow my bones rub together and ache at times. They said that there is nothing that they can do to improve my arm
and that to straighten my hand would reduce any use that I currently have, so that is out of the question as well. I think
my mum and dad are fairly happy with the outcome but are a little worried about how my arm will cause me trouble in
the future.

I had a really good holiday last month, I went to South Holland for two weeks with my mum, dad and Grandma. We
stayed in the caravan which was great, the only down side was that it rained every single day bar one. Luckily the rain
didn't stop us from doing much. We went to Dusseldorf and while we were there, mum bought me a Steiff teddy, I
have called him Dusty from Dusseldorf. Mum took a liking to one particular shop, they sold lots of jewelry the only
problem for mum was that there was a security man on one side of the door and another on the other side. It turned
out to be a Cartier shop so no wonder mum took a liking to it, I think dad went a bit wobbly at the sight of some of
the prices.

I made a message in a bottle before the summer holidays so while I was on the ferry from Calais to Dover I threw it
over the side of the ship, So if you see a green bottle with a message inside please let me know......thanks.

I started back to pre-school last week and I am really enjoying it. The teachers are great and I get to play with all sorts
of toys.

It was my birthday on the first of September and I am now three years old, I had a great birthday, with lots of great
presents including a Power Ranger costume which I really love. Thanks to everyone that sent me a card and gifts.

Anyway thats it for now, I will try and keep the site a bit more up to date.

All my love

Aled
