Jake had another day of painful straining. I’m hoping it’s because his diet has been a bit fruit-bare lately and it’s not a return of whatever he had before his ileostomy. It’s unnerving to see him so happy one minute then bent over in pain the next. He’s able to tell us now, so it’s a teary “bot-bot!” followed by a stream of requests for cuggles, even while he’s already being held. He was due to see his consultant tomorrow but had to cancel because of the pox. His spots are spreading, but he still hasn’t noticed he’s got them.
