Wednesday 2nd September




Back on the treatment today which all went fine. Martina, the anaesthetist mentioned about the possibility of actually seeing the machine where Toby has the treatment, and suggests we speak to the doctor about it. They used to do it for all parents but since they they are increasingly busy and finding it harder to fit in for everyone. We see the doctor, Adrian Staab, another of the authors of 'that' research journal. However he's full of cold, so he stays at a distance and we decide to leave it until tomorrow before asking about it!

Dad noted the PSI centre seems very similar to the ILL in Grenoble, somewhere he visited while still working (Physics dept at Warwick University). The main difference seems to be that the ILL Grenoble deal in neutrons and PSI deal in protons!

Sam is most definitely more interested in watching the videos on offer when Toby wakes up. The novelty of seeing him asleep has worn off and 'Kipper' is more interesting. Last week it was 'Mausi' (or for those of you with young children that's actually 'Maisy' !) Having said all of this, Sam started reeling off his numbers in german today, unprompted! They say to start young with language don't they? Not sure sitting him in front of a german video all the time would count! Interestingly, the fact the programmes are all in german seems to have passed him by!

The weather has changed and it feels more like autumn today. I had an hour to myself while Dad and Rona entertained both the boys (musical statues I believe!) I dived under the duvet and had an hour of shut eye. Pure bliss.
