Hi me again! sorry for not coming back, because of the snow its made getting to and from the hospital alittle bit more difficult, DD2 eczema and asthma playing up because of the weather and my house has decided to turn into a mould factory because I'm not there enough. So everything is taking more time. I'm feeling really weak as well, so sorry if this is a bit confusing but I'm sure you'll get the gist of what I'm saying and if you can't then just know he's improving and I'm very grateful for everyone reading and supporting me. 
for the little woolly hug, its wonderful and a great comfort and reminder of all the lovely people on here. Thank you all so much for thinking of us, I've spent my adult life thinking its me and DC against the world and you've shown me that actually there are far more people on my side, willing us on than just me and my little tribe.
I've settled into a little routine of spending the day at home organising DDs and hopefully being there for them and because DS is more awake at night I spend that at the hospital. It worked out better because DD2 nursery bill and before and after school club was eye watering and they had started to be affected by not seeing me. Then on the times DD2 normally goes to nursery I spend at the hospital. DD1 was very upset that her school was closed on monday and everyone got to play in the snow while she had to spend the day at my old bosses office. So today shes off school (HT knows) for a substitute snow day today.
DS is doing really well, still no voice but he's getting so strong. Play specialists have been fantastic, putting him in control and now he looks a lot less confused and fustrated. They have buttons for him to turn on and off the light projector above his cot and get him to turn pages on the books. I think its really helping him to keep calm. Physio put him in a support chair and he just smiled at her and them arched his back out of it and tried to sit on his own. he's very wobbly and cant stay up right but if you hold him steady he can do it. The physio is sure he'll try to push himself whatever she gives him to try and so far he's proving her right. We are on the normal childrens ward now in a side room, They tried on the ward bit but that upset him so he's back in his room for now. The hospital has been fantastic not just with the treatment but little things like DD2 has her nursery traveling teddy this week (Because I needed that 
) and so far he's visited quite a bit of the hospital with the doctors.
He would be starting to spend time at home by now but with the weather so bad they can't send him on mornings home incase he needs the hospital quickly and we're too far away. A lot of children were discharged before the snow came and I thought for a second he might be one of them but for the moment the hospital is the best place for him. At the end of the week if the snows gone they might start sending him home for a few hours to help him memory wise and to see if we can cope with feeding and things.
DC consultants have said with a 'brain injury' (still hard to think thats what he's had from bloody chicken pox) its a really long term waiting game, things that they could say 'oh his left sides too weak' may or may not be long term and things we think is ok at the moment may cause a problem later on, if he fails to progress after a while and gets left behind. so who knows what will happen but at least he's with us and smiling.
At the moment I really couldn't care less what problems he may have in the future, having him home is what we want and everything else, well, we got through this we can get through anything. I'll have him back any shape or form, I never thought chicken pox could be any worse than a load of spots, now I realise how lucky we are. DD1 and 2 have a few scars from thiers and DS has only a brain injury from his. I could have lost him or DDs, they could have all gone thanks to a little childhood illness that people moan about being so inconvenient. But thank god thats all that happened to him I'm so lucky. I'm 8kg lighter have aged 10 years but have DS thanks to you lot making me get DC help and keeping us in your thoughts.
