A day of two halves
As you know, we are not huge footie fans but even I realise it's only a few minutes to kick-off. In fact, to Quent, Manchester United means the team spirit at Christie's and Chelsea means flower show. Talk of Wed's team tactics and he'll think you mean The Apprentice.
Still, the Nurses have been Russian around all day and Red (blotchy) Squares have been breaking out all over Quent's legs, so we do realise something is happening.
It has been a busy day. We have seen the Nurse Practitioner today (one step away from Critical Care) as Quent's stats have been a little worrying - though by no means the worst we've seen. Quent is feeling pretty rotten at the moment and is having to sit bolt upright in bed (to help his breathing) with an oxygen mask.
However, he had a lovely massage this morning and he did manage a little lunch. He would have been up to a film earlier, but the DVD was missing from the box. I went to a very interesting speech Prof gave about his research and I might even be able to explain the basics on another post.
We have more than one injured player on our team today - Oakley fell at school today and is now limping (though this may be due to 4 year old dramatics, rather than medical condition). He (and we) seems to think we are into extra time already - "Why did you make this week so long, Mummy" he said to me, this evening. I know how he feels.
That exhausts my corny jokes - and the news for the day. Keep everything crossed for us overnight. By the time the match is over, Quent will be nearly due another dose.
I wish good luck to all footie fans, but admit I am saving all my positive vibes for my own star player.

Quite right too! Hope the next dose went ok and nobody slipped and missed anything! Not long until home time now. Jen H x
I think we all had our fingers crossed for victory in Manchester at the start of the season, but none of us knew quite how dramatic the action was going to be. Luckily, the result has been astonishing and we can all come out from behind the sofa and toast to victory!
Safe journey home xx
