For 2,5 months we have been living in a happy bubble. Our bubble is a cottage on the Swedish west coast. There, life is simple, you wake up, eat breakfast, plan the day, which means either go to the lake for a bath or out in the forest to pick berries or mushrooms. This summer Elliot has developed incredibly. His new outside favorite is to climb; he climbs trees, stones and anything that comes in his way.
Since 2 weeks we are back in Stockholm and the ordinary life and today it was time to go for a routine check at the hospital. The nurse who usually takes care of the walking test was ill and it had to be cancelled. The heart and lung check with ultra sound gave (as usually) no hints of Elliot’s condition regarding the lung pressure, but the doctor’s short summary of the ultra sound was ok: nothing had become worse during summer.
There is a big playing room whith lot of toys and games at the hospital. The image shows Elliot and Marie playing table hockey which is a popular game in Sweden (we usually stay a while at the hospital to play after his doctor visit, this strategy has been good, now Elliot feels it is ok to go to the hospital and he looks forward to go to the playing room).
Right now I’m a bit worried about the new flu. I’m not alone in my worries, media have gone mad and it is happy days for a few medical companies. I'm worried about his lungs. I would like to go back to the cottage for another month. Our doctor hopes that Elliot can have his first vaccine injection in late September or early October. So it is at least 3 long weeks…
It’s only 5 weeks left to our third baby if everything goes according to the plan. Marie is now very pregnant;) Both me and Marie believes it is a boy.
