Sunday 16th November

I had to have my chest stitches out this week, and it hurt! My community nurses came in force, one to hold me down, and one to remove the stitches. I cried a bucket load of tears! I now have two lines down my chest and seven scars which look like bullet wounds.

To cheer me up, I went shopping for my first pair of proper shoes from a proper shoe shop, I am walking around so much that I thought I needed some new ones. I was measured up properly to obtain my vital statistics, and I purchased a lovely pair of brown & pink cruisers, ace! I even had my photo taken in the shop for a keepsake, these paparazzi get everywhere, they are even going down my friend Alfie's throat to take a picture! Good luck Alfie, I will come and see you soon to compare notes from our echo scans.

This week I watched Children in Need, it had a little boy on who also has a poorly heart, he goes to a place called Zoe's Place so his mum and dad can have a rest. I have a friend called Matthew from Alder Hey who also goes there, he is really nice, he bought me a polar bear, not a real one silly, called M W Bear on the day I had my operation, which was really sweet!

I am settling back into my house nicely and playing with my toys loads, I have so much energy since my operation. My mummy and daddy look tired though, they can't keep up with me now, I am constantly on the move (with assistance) and I keep them up for all night parties, they must be getting old!
