Thanks. It was but he is ok now. Had tests that have been clear and his line is out now.

I've not had as much time. Just gone back to work after looking after my littlest boy having chemo. All is fine now but work is busy. Will try and get involved again as I was enjoying it

Thanks marsha. He has a lovely nose so hopefully they can straighten it for him.
