On no - a hospital visit!

Shouldn't complain really. Its taken 4 years, but Laurie finally got a bit of apple stuck that he couldn't move, and we had to go to the hospital to get it out!
It was wierd, actually. We had a barbeque with friends on the Monday, and part way through the day he got a stickie. We couldn't move it, buit at the same time, he was having such fun that he never let it stop him. It didn;t seem like there was anything wrong with him - he was still running around and shouting, its just that when he tried to eat or drink, nothing would go down, and he had to cough it back up again. We monitored him through the night, and then in the morning hoped that his breakfast would go down. He had one small bite, and said that he still had the stickie. So we got in the car and spent the day at Addenbrookes.
He was put under general anestetic, and they went in was a camera and tweezers, and pulled out a HUGE bit of apple! This lump was getting on for 2 inches long. He was a bit grumpy when he woke up, but as soon as we offered him food he ate it (without any problem) and also drank without any problem.
We got home at about 8 o'clock, when he just went straight to sleep in his bed. His throat has been a bit sore since, but apart from that he's been fine.
Other news...Lauries bike riding skills are getting better all the time, and we are regularly going around the villiage or Cambourne. We can do 3 miles without any problems. Its really great.
Additional to this, we have bought one of those bike trailer things for Callum to sit in, so he can come along and we make it a family affair.
Its all going very well.
Speak soon.
Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
