I'm not surprised you feel like a nervous wreck TheMaggiejane1

You and your poor family have been through an awful lot. Life just isn't fair sometimes is it?

I do hope that once this this operation is over things will start looking up for your little GD and the whole family.

Sending you all good wishes.flowers and sunshine

Some of you may remember that many months ago I asked for ideas for fundraising £50.000 for an operation to help my 7 year old disabled GD to walk. Many of you were very kind and helpful so I thought I would let you know that we succeeded in our efforts and her operation is to be carried out at Great Ormond Street tomorrow! Fundraising was an amazing experience, we took on some challenges that we never thought we could do and there are so many lovely and generous people in the world.

Life has been a bit difficult over the last few months as as soon as my GD's operation was arranged my D, her mother, found out she was pregnant. It was a very fraught and worrying pregnancy but she gave birth to a beautiful daughter in March. Unfortunately 2 weeks afterwards my daughter had a pulmonary embolism and has been very ill. However she has made enough progress to be able to go to GOS with her daughter for the operation and we hope after my GD's 3 weeks stay that things will start to improve!

I will be so glad when tomorrow is over, I feel like a nervous wreck at the moment.
