Sad to hear this morning that Reece has had to go into Hossie again. So, that's another Christmas at home missed, for him, & for Mum Stacey, Grandma Maureen & Grandpa Darren. They will now visit him & give him his pressies at 6am on Christmas Day. A young kiddie opening his Pressies on Christmas Day must be the highlight for a family, so this is a bit of a blow, especially now he's old enough (3, I think) to appreciate Christmas.
He has another "line infection", & he'll be OK, apart from missing Crimbo.
But it's worse than that. On the 27th, he was due to go into Hossie for evaluation for his forthcoming & much needed "big op". That will now have to be cancelled. That is really bad news, he needs that Op - he just has to have it.
Our thoughts are always with Reece, Stacey, Maureen & Darren, but especially so right now.

That Post above began this thread, exactly 1 year, & 1 day ago, 24th December 2007.
A year on, & this Christmas he is at home, with Maureen & Darren.
He's endured a dozen or more Ops this year, but he had "the big one", to enable him to have a normal life, & came through it with flying colours.
Thanks to Antonio, he's a regular boy now. NO more operations - bar one, to remove his "line" - are scheduled, & the task has begun to somehow get some weight on him.
And Maureen & Darren have made a remarkable discovery. Reece is, to put it mildly, a "fussy eater", he has had to learn to "take food by mouth".
And he has discovered that he loves........boiled eggs, & bacon. And he sits & eats his boiled eggs with great gusto, it's the highlight of his day, every day.
In the scheme of things, that's a miracle.
Merry Christmas Reece. And many more of them.
These pictures were taken this morning.
Some Christmas Story this, eh?
Oh, & Merry Christmas Antonio, too. You the man.
