Great Ormond Street Hospital
19th August 2010 - Harry has just had an appointment with Dr Wilson, Genetics Dysmorphologhy Dept at Great Ormond Street Hospital. Learnt so much more about Harry's Progeria. Harry very bravely gave a skin biopsy & bloods to grow fibroblasts with a view to more research into his Progeria. She also took photographs of Harry to aid this - 'Watch this space for news on this'
Dr Wilson suggested a referral to an Occupational Therapist as Harry has limited movement in his fingers, hands & wrists and would benefit from using a keyboard during his time at high school as writing will become more difficult, which explains why he got level 4/5's in his SATS but a level 3 in his writing skills.
She also recommended Harry has another DEXA scan which measures bones density, Harry last had one of these in Dallas aged 7.
Feeling so much more positive after this appointment.

UK Progeria Reunion - Ashford Kent 2010
Harry had a wonderful time at the first UK Progeria reunion. He is now part of a very special family & has been welcomed with open arms. Harry has made many special friends from all across europe. Children see no language barriers, they see only friendship with a smile, a hug & a kiss.
Progeria children take your breath away with their warmth,zest for life & most importantly their love.
Thank you so, so much to all of you who donated to Hayleys Hope. This is the first of many reunions for Harry now & to see him playing with children like him has been inspiring to me as his very proud mummy. X x
