Massimo did come home for Christmas day. The doctor examined him bright and early and then kindly called to give us the good news. When we went to pick up the wee man we popped in to say a quick Merry Christmas to Nonno Roberto and deliver some smoked salmon to accompany his lunch (we think this was more appreciated than the visit!). Unfortunately Massimo didn’t feel brilliant whilst he was here and after a stressful half an hour coughing 
and with a temperature he spent the rest of his visit sleeping. He did however see Father Christmas on the ward before he came home and he has been thoroughly spoilt by all and sundry! A few gifts are in evidence in the picture but there were many more.
Jasper enjoyed making sure he also had fun.
Fingers crossed that Massimo will be better soon.
