First ever trip to the cinema to watch The Incredibles 2 with George’s support group was…incredible. He sat loving the film for a solid two hours.

George finally put together climbing the steps and going down the slide. Small things are big things!

What an unbelievable gift the NHS is. We’ve all needed it at some point and it has saved George on more than one occasion.

Thanks to all the brilliant staff who know us and have helped us along the way. Here’s to 70 more years!

I’ll be taking part in the ABP Humber Coastal Half Marathon on 16 September 2018.

I’m hoping to raise at least £250 to support North East Lincolnshire Down’s Syndrome Family Support Group – who have really helped us, George and lots of other local families.

Please donate to my JustGiving Crowdfunding Page and help make it happen:

Thanks for your support.

We’re showing our support for World Down Syndrome Day by wearing odd socks today. Chromosomes are shaped “like socks” and people with Down’s Syndrome have an extra chromosome. Different is OK.

George was discharged today.

We’re cautiously optimistic that we don’t have a return trip to Sheffield too soon (as happened last October).

We’ll keep a close eye on him over the coming days and all of our fingers crossed he stays well.

Thank you for all your well wishes this past week or so!
