Tom is still the same, he regressed badly for 8 weeks after a slip on the shower chair, but this week thanks to one nurse he's managed 3 showers with help, bless this nurse for 2 weeks she had put him fully dressed in shower chair to walk around pushing him it from 2 minutes building up to 30 minutes, to get him confident enough to go and actually have a shower, he's so pleased he feels in his words, "proper clean" lol spoke to him after first shower on video and he was shining, happy confident and a little bit of the old tom shone through, so great

Just thought I,d share as it really is the small things that can mean so much,

Happy mum of a very clean boy lol
