On a happier note, his health is OK just now despite the snow and freezing temperatures. His chest/asthma is holding up reasonably - we usually get a dip in these conditions. Unfortunately his activities have been somewhat curtailed this week - too cold for swimming, no one else (even tutor) turned up for wheelchair keep fit and the hoist at the sports centre has been broken for three weeks now, so no trampoline physio either.
We tried to make up for this by taking him places ourselves. He slept right through a visit to see his grandparents (what his sister calls 'aggressive sleeping' - i.e. unrousable but with muscle tone.), but really enjoyed 'Unstoppable' at the cinema. He likes noisy, action films even though he's officially registered blind - he has some limited peripheral vision and is developing cataracts but sees enough to get the visual stimulation as long as he's at the front. It does mean that whoever is with him tends to leave with a stiff neck and a headache, but it's worth it as he visibly reacts and obviously enjoys the experience.
It's good to get away from the cuts once in a while.
