Leo has had another good day although he wouldn't let the docs look at his eye properly today at the hospital. The up-shot is that the blood shot eye is still causing problems and he's particularly sensitive to light and he's wearing his hat pretty much all the time. Back to the hospital next week for more checks and we're keeping an eye on things...
I know I can be really gushy and over the top about Leo and how we feel about him (proud x infinity), but now's a time to be really proud about some dear friends of ours. Gavin and Claire lost their baby, Lillia, last year to a very rare lung disorder. Today they held their second Lillia Calthrop Tribute Fund Golf Day and as a tribute to their beautiful daughter, they've raised over £4500 for charity.
Claire was one of my bridesmaids and Gavin was one of PJ's groomsmen back at our wedding in 2004 (and gave us many smiles over the course of the evening!). They've been through so much this last year and a half and yet they've used a lot of energy, emotion and effort to give back to those amazing medical teams at the Bristol Children's Hospital and the Wiltshire Air Ambulance. As a direct result, they've raised thousands and thousands of pounds.
PJ and I have constantly looked at them to draw strength from their strength and in those first few weeks after Leo was diagnosed, it was Gavin and Claire who brought us food and homemade dinners. They're an example of people who think about others and we'll be forever thankful that we can call them our friends.
