This year’s Father Christmas visit had to be virtual, with some somewhat unexpected results! We hope you enjoy this short video
It was all worth it when we received this lovely message the following day
I’m just writing to say a heartfelt thank you. My son has been in and out of St George’s since the end of November and I’ve just picked him up for home leave for Christmas. He was genuinely so thrilled to get his present from you this morning, and I was so touched as his Mum too.
Thank you so much and wishing you the merriest of Christmases.
We are very happy that this December we have been able to help out Poole Hospital who, as well as standard requests such as new beds for visiting parents, had an unusual request…

We struggle to buy them as they are not seen as essential but help greatly in reducing spill risks and the possibility of scalds. These needs 100 plus mugs, This would be top of our list.

Christian has finished all of the chemo now. He is not feeling too bad, a bit more sleepy than he has been but yesterday he ran around and played hide and seek with me taking advantage of an hour or so when he wasn’t attached to a drip. Today at around midday he will have…
The biopsy result finally came through today and the growth in Christian’s leg was confirmed to be a reoccurrence of the Clear Cell Sarcoma. We are taking him for his first Chemo on Sunday and he will stay in overnight so they can keep an eye on him. He may be home during the day…
Christian had a high temperature yesterday so I took him to St George’s. I spent the night with him there and he has now been transferred to the Royal Marsden after much pleading from us. He has to stay in hospital for a couple of days as he needs intravenous antibiotics. The chemotherapy knocks the…
We have been working on the new website which should be a lot easier for us to update and for people to navigate and share. Please have a look around and, if you have a moment, test it out, try sharing a story on facebook or twitter, for example. The Home Page is a good…
Christian loves going to Stagecoach in Hildenborough I have taken some photos of their shows and thought that some of the other parents might be interested in prints so have put them on photobox. If you have never used photobox contact me and I will get you an offer code for 50 free prints. There…
Thank you!!1
