A month in the life of Harry Tobias

Harry's parents have received the results of his radioscope scan (where a small dose of radioactive medicine was injected into a vein prior to his urinary system being scanned). This showed no significant concern regarding his non-functioning kidney and it means that Harry no longer needs to be given the antibiotics that he has received daily from birth. Occasionally, having a dysfunctional kidney can cause a rise in blood pressure, so this will be checked in due course by his GP, and re-checked on a regular basis.

Harry's balance is sturdier this month and improving all the time. His movements are getting quicker and he plays crawling chase games with big sister Jasmine, following her around the room, beaming with excitement at the chase. At times she chases and catches him, giving him enthusiastic hugs when he is caught, which Harry doesn't always appreciate!

At meal times Harry eats with enthusiasm. He is particularly fond of finger foods, especially bread, cheese, cucumber, grapes and banana.
