For the past two weeks the Patel family has been living apart.
Older brother Arun staying with Grand Parents Catriona & Peter while his little brother has been in hospital being looked after on a twenty four hour shift system by Mum & Dad.
Cameron has slowly regained strength and fought off his Bronchitis and with the help of additional Oxygen, medication and lots of love from his parents. He is now well enough to be cared for at home.
Sanjay collected Arun on Saturday and the whole family is now complete.
Grand Parents are resting quietly at home. Ornaments have been moved back into place and sticky finger prints have been removed from doors and paintwork.
The dogs are missing Arun the trail of dropped biscuits and other treats has ended.
Lets hope that all is now set for a very Happy Christmas.

Cameron Rushed to Hospital
Two days after Cameron's first visit to his Grand Parents Jo took him to the Doctors for a scheduled check up. He had a bit of a cough and his breathing was a little laboured.
The Doctor checked his Haemoglobin and finding it very low sent him straight to hospital where he was admitted to the children's ward.
Sanjay stopped with him over night and became very concerned as he was struggling more and more with his breathing. It took until the morning before he was properly assessed by which time his condition had deteriorated. He was sedated and put on a ventilator to enable his transfer to a special hospital. It was decided he must go to Great Ormonds Street for intensive care but having been sent off by ambulance a bed could not be guaranteed and he was returned to Ealing. A worrying wait ensued before a bed was made available and Jo and Cameron made their way to Central London.
His condition remained constant for the next twenty four hours before a diagnosis of bronchitis was made. With the help of medication and constant support from the nursing team and his parents his condition started to improve.
After four days he was taken off the ventilator and put on his old friend cpap to enable him to be returned to Ealing.
His condition is gradually improving and he now is receiving only a small amount of Oxygen. His Mum and Dad stay with him twenty four hours a day.
We hope with luck he should be well enough to be discharged by the weekend.
