Keech Hospice stay

Shay has just had a nice visit to Keech Hospice, a fantastic place where he has fun, and can forget about him being different to others. The nurses adore shay and he has them wrapped around his little finger, he will also do whatever they ask. If a nurse says jump, shay will jump for them.
As normal with any hospital stay shay will laugh at the bed I have to sleep in, well on this occasion he laughed more than normal.

As normal with any hospital stay Shay would laugh at the bed / chair I would be given to sleep in. Well on this occasion he laughed more than normal.

I cannot say enough about how good the staff were. Shay had a nurse with him all the time. They all spent time with Shay, wrote his notes up, played numerous types of games with him and games he would not normally play. It was just nice to sit back and watch him have fun and play, be like child without anything hooding him back. 

The first nights sleep was not a good as it could have been, he was awake for some hours, asking for his Ipad every 15 minutes. The second night he slept so well, even slept until 730am.

The day we left, within seconds of leaving the hospice, he started to complain of his headaches. To me this just showed how the hospice managed to make him feel special and important.

The first day after his stay, he is complaining of pains in his muscles, all the muscles he used over the weekend.

What a special weekend for Shay. Now back to school which he adores, time with his friends.
