Medical Update!

Harry has been prescribed daily, 75mg of Aspirin by his cardiologist as a precautionary measure which helps to reduce possible problems with his heart associated with Progeria. He has also been diagnosed with an eye condition called Blepharitis (see the link for more details) which is a condition we will manage daily from now on,ironically it usually presents in people over the age of 50! There is no cure just something else he will learn to deal with, with a smile like he does everyday!

Here are just 3 of my favourite photos of Harry.
They show his smiley and cheeky character and his zest for life. Most importantly, Harry's sparkling blue eyes.

Charity Ball

Harry & I went to Hayley's Queen of Hearts Charity Ball, which raised £2,753.95 towards this years Progeria Reunion. The room looked amazing and Hayley looked like a Princess and Harry looked equally dapper! The ball was organised by Amie & Hayley's Mum Kerry. There was a magician doing table tricks, a 3 course meal, raffle & disco. Everyone who attended looked stunning in their ballgowns, suits & masks.
