I shall be on the train to London first thing tomorrow morning while you are probably still dreaming away, heading for a Blog Breakfast with Echo to discuss corporate and political blogging.
I had a successful visit to the smoke today with my son David for his latest check-up at Great Ormond Street Hospital. The chronic oseteomyelitis in his jaw is thankfully improving, but he was advised to continue with the medication. It has been a long and painful haul for him, and he is so uncomplaining.
I always remember Dizzy emailing me from his holiday villa in Spain last summer to wish us well after reading my post about David’s check up then, thanks Dizzy, that was much appreciated.
GOS hospital is so amazing – and humbling – when you come across so many sick children, some with terrible deformities. It makes David’s problem seem so miniscule in comparison. David has been given the most wonderful care and attention by their medical team, I cannot praise the hospital highly enough.
The personal touches about Blogging are often the best- I’ve been stunned how nice most of the other bloggers I eknow (to coin a horrific word) so I’m not surprised with your experience with Dizzy- hope things continue to go well with David.
All the best to you and your family Ellee. Hope it all goes well for David.
As for Dizzy, well he’s not a bad chap. I do enjoy reading his blog.
Wishing you both all the best, Ellee. It’s noce to hear about an excellent hospital, too.
All the very best to both you and David, Ellee.
Good wishes to yourself and David, Ellee.
I hope the breakfast went as well as our farewell dinner in Les Gets tonight 🙂 You are such a gallivant now . You will soon need a London season ticket. Cheers Geoff and Sally in Les Gets, France
Geoff and Sally, Yes, I really enjoyed the meeting and met a great bunch of people. Sounds like you are both having a good time off piste – fantastic! Hope you haven’t forgotten to write your posts, though, I want to hear all about it.
Good luck Ellee. I have an affection for that hospital too, my elder son was an outpatient there all through childhood because of a “hole in the heart”. Thankfully he is fully fit. I wish you and your son well.
Wishing you all the best. I hope all went well.
Thanks to all for your kind comments, David is certainly on the mend. He is taking very strong antibiotics that turn his bones yellow, he has been on them for 18 months now and has to continue for another 3 months when his jaw will be X-rayed. If it looks clear of infection, he will come off them. So fingers crossed.
