Day 47
Our first day at home went without incident. Liam is racing around on his crutches, hoping on one foot and generally enjoying being back at home. His face is still very swollen, and a bit misshapen but that should all settle down in time.
We spent the day unpacking and having another battle with Mr Lego to rebuild the crane which we had to break to bring home. I have a new appreciation as to why it took Jasper until 1am to finish it!
We went for a cruise to school in the wheelchair to pick up Ashleigh this afternoon which was a bit of humour as we took the dog and she just wanted to bounce around and we nearly ran her over several times. Liam found it all a bit tough as everyone at school was staring at him. I had covered up his eye to firstly protect it from the wind, but secondly to hide it away as it still looks a bit freaky.
Am now off to have a spa and an early night to make up for all the sleep the lay z boy stole from me!

Dear Rebecca Liam and Ashley How great you are now back home I just want to say Rebecca that it has been an absolutely terrific experience to share Liams journey in such a way that we all feel so much part of. Liam we will come and visit you one morning next week. You have made such amazing progress we can’t believe that you are up and about and enjoying your leggo and intendo so much. Rebecca I think that you may be destined to become a writer as I know that we and so many others have enoyed your style of writing about this amazing time. Love and prayers as always to you all love Jackie&Ray (Gran &Papa)
