This is the latest update from Mo, Luca's Dad!

'Morning Dad'
'Morning handsome. Did you sleep well for Mummy'
'Yeeeeeah! I was a good boy?' (Anything that ends in a question mark means he's usually fibbing.. )
'Can we go to the park today...'
'Of course. Physio first then we'll get read...y'
'Can I go on the climbing frame'
'Not today handsome your legs are still poorly so will have to wait a while... We can feed the ducks and blump stones though!'
'Ok, but I am strong? Look I can lift my bum up!!'(Luca is learning how to shuffle his bum across the floor in physio and is chuffed that he can lift his bum up!)
'I know handsome but we have to wait until you legs are better'
'Ok. Do you want to go on the climbing frame Dad?'
'It's ok handsome... I want to play with you...'(Deep breath no more tears this week)

As you have gathered Luca is having a mini break from work these last couple of days... Benefits of him running his own company...
He has asked that I post another very special pic to encourage you to his his target of 10,000 likes by Sun eve...
Being an amazing MD he reminded me that on the 16th he had 1,657 likes in 1 day!!
2,000 likes to go and might be met by some very exciting news we have for everyone!!

Thank you all again. Wish I could email everyone individually but please know your support has been and continues to be AMAZING!!

Luca - 'I loved the park Dad! Did you love it?'
Me - 'Yes handsome! It was amazing!'
Luca - Dad.....? When I am a Daddy shall I take you to the park?'
'I will buy a car like yours so we can all fit...'
Me - 'That would be great. Will you b...uy me some bread for the ducks?'
Luca - 'No!. Don't be silly you have got your own pennies!'
Me - 'Ok fair point handsome... I'l bring the bread'

Luca - 'And the Quavers Dad...'

Luca had a brief walk around the park, wee'd in a pot and threw bread full pelt at any duck that passed!!
He then had another burger stop took 2 bites and then moved onto playing stickers with Nanny!

His food intake is our major focus at the moment as he was sick last night and his tube is out again... We will be trying every technique to get him to eat enough calories over next few weeks... You can do it handsome... It is a small challenge this time!!

As all good MD's know you never really switch off from work so Luca has banished me to office to give you a midweek numbers update...
We are at 8,150 followers and still at a weekly audience of 80,000 people!
Luca's potential audience(friends or friends) is 1,400,000!!! Yes that's 1.4million!
Surely the youngest MD in UK can achieve 10,000 by Sunday eve??

We are asking you all to help him out...
1. Share all his pages below with all your friends on facebook and twitter(especially celebs) and encourage them to do the same
2. For those who are running events, running marathons, climbing mountains, organising ladies nights, etc, etc please email details and dates to forluca@hotmail.co.uk. I will collate a calender and share with everyone...
3. Can anyone that has any ideas on how we can raise Luca's followers on facebook/twitter please email the executive(me) on mosef29@hotmail.com

THANK YOU

Latest update from Luca's Dad:

We had planned to write an update on Sunday for you all to read with your papers and a cuppa... However things have been too busy to stop...

The MD(Luca) has asked me to write a day by day update to cover the last few days... Grab a cuppa as it is a long one today...

Thurs – Luca had another day at the park and his aim at throwing bread missiles at the ducks is improving(secret physio) He is on ...his last day of Morphine!!! He has been on massive doses since day one and a huge relief that he has managed to cross this off his list. Not a great day for me as I had basically force fed Luca his tea making him sick... True guilt is a horrible feeling. Sorry handsome. Just so worried about your calorie intake...

Fri – Luca was back in theatre for dressing change and knee check up. He went to theatre straight from physio where he had been doing ‘Weights!’ We are continuing with the least invasive approach on his left knee and praying that his body repairs itself... He came out on top form and spent the day playing with Sian until bedtime. He even wanted to follow Sian to toilet on his wheelchair and asked why she didn’t poke her winky down when having a wee?? He now has a portable pump fitted to his left knee to give more freedom moving around and still has both legs in splints for next 4-5 weeks.

Sat – Luca was awake early as usual and was ready for the long trip home!!! He had his 8am meds and sat in wheelchair watching as we packed the car(definitely not big enough for all his stuff!) We were home by 10.30 and all very excited! Luca loved being back home but had a few problems with sickness... He was unable to keep any food down that day at all! He slept fairly well and woke are reasonable hour... He topped off his day by asking who was going to sleep with him every night when he goes to bed...?

Sun – Not his best day. He was now unable to even keep water down and started to vomit up all his medications. A real concern as he still has a massive amount of medication to keep him improving. By the afternoon he was no better so we had to take him back to Hospital. After a check up with Docs we kept him in for a few hours to see how he was. He managed to keep down some juice and we got him home late in the eve. As soon as he got back he was sick all over again and had a pretty rough night....

Mon – So far Luca has been able to keep a small amount of water down but we know he will have a feed tube put back in Thurs when he has dressing change back in hospital...

Even while Luca was ill and being sick he still manages to brighten our days!
On the drive home Sat:-
Luca – ‘Are we going home now Mum?’
Sian – ‘Yes handsome. Won’t be long’
Luca – ‘I can’t walk though can I?’
Sian/Me – ‘No handsome we had to take you poorly legs away to make you better’
Luca – ‘I’ve got a wheelchair though. Can I use it inside?’
Me – ‘Of course handsome. Shall we play I Spy?’
Luca – ‘Yeah. I love I Spy’(even though he has never played it before)
Sian – ‘What’s green and begins with T?’
Luca – ‘Trees!!!’
Sian – ‘What’s blue and begins with B?’
Luca – ‘Blue Legs??’
Sian/Me – ‘No handsome...Balloon!(holding back tears of joy for his amazing strength)

Whether we are home or in Hospital we love spending every minute with you Luca! (yes even poking down your winky when you need a wee!)

For Luca

Gwent Dragons are having ''for Luca'' on there shirt from now until the end of the season

The Chauffeur Driven MD(Luca) on the way to the hospital this morning!

I am sure one day he will cease to amaze us but not today...

This picture captures the spirit of a 3yr old boy who has been so sick that he has not been able to keep ...anything down(even his pain relief) and has dropped from 15.8 to 13.3kgs in 5 days...

I am not worthy Luca. Keep fighting!

Luca has now been re admitted to Hospital so we can try and fix his stomach problems... Unfortunately this could be a side effect of the massive amount of drugs he has been on and is extremely heartbreaking when at times he cannot even keep 5mls of fluid down...

I'll be back to my bed by the side of the pool table tonight at hospital Luca so I can wake to your beautiful smile...

My life, love, inspiration and joy!
My skinny little boy!

bump.



just wanted to give this another bump to remind people. my wife came home from work today at the hmps and they are trying to vote this for their charity..

The little man is a legend. I may have an idea for you dange see what you reckon

Just to let everyone know that this event is a practical sell out now but I do have some tickets if you want to go, support the charity and see a few city legends in the process. It isnt expensive at £2 for adults, £1 for kids and £5 for a family ticket allowing 2 adults and 2 children under 16. There MAY be some tickets on the gate on the day but if your planning on going I would suggest buying in advance!

Fair few ex players including a few suprises on the day!!

Bars in and out, various kids games, stalls etc.and a raffle with some amazing prizes and a an auction that has some great footballing memorabilia
