Disaster aproaching?

Well, Pauls' new bike is going back to the shop for repairs!, the forks are bent meaning the bike can not be ridden. Lets hope they can repair it or replace the bike ready for the 8th August or he will be running behind us....lol.

On a much better note, Charlie had his sats checked again today and they are 85%, thats 6% up from last week, the nurse is very pleased with him and is thinking that lasts weeks check was just a "blip". No results back yet from GOSH ref Charlie's MRI etc but it shouldn't be to long a wait now.

Don't forget to check out our "new look" website! http://www.charliewoodheartappeal.org.uk/ , there will be plenty of new pics of Charlie to view plus maybe just maybe some very exciting news coming sometime soon so keep checking back for updates.

Charlie's Sats

Charlie had his saturation levels checked yesterday (oxygen levels in his blood), they have dropped again to 79%, the nurese has said she will check them again next week rather than in 3 weeks time as usuall, she is concerned and says he looks very blue.

We know another ohs is coming soon but as his sats drop lower and lower the sooner the op is and it's not what we really wnat, would be good to have it now if we knew the outcome would be positive but as we don't later the better!. On a more positive note, Charlie has gained 10 oz!.

Fantastic day at Silverstone

We had a fab day at Silverstone collecting money for GOSH, it was hard work asking people to donate and the heat was HOT HOT HOT!.We started collecting at 8:30 till about 11:30 and had a short break then for another hour till lunch, we then watched the race just by the pit lane exit at the front. Just before the race finshed we headed to the eating areas and started collecting again till 4 pm.Most people were very happy to donate though there was the odd one or two that took offence but in total, Sarah and i collected £529!!, some woman even asked Sarah to lift her top and she would donate £100, sadly she didnt lol.We were very tired when we left, our legs were aching and Sarah's legs were burnt cos of the sun but it was well worth it as it was very rewarding to raise so much.One woman collected nearly £600 just by herself!!, we don't know how much was collected in total but it's A LOT!.It was also good to see some of the patients too, they got to go to the pits and meet some of the drivers, there was one little boy wearing a Mclaren drivers suit, his mum kept asking him to take it off as it was so hot but he said "no, people will think im a driver" lol.

Charlie's check-up

Hi everyone,

Well the check-up at GOSH went well yesterday and Charlie was a real star , he didn't complain once, he only cried once with the injection to put him under and he woke up 3 hours later without a problem in fact, he was eating 5 mins after waking up so it was great!.

We wont know the results of the MRI, ECHO and presuure test for a week or so but there were no surprises so thats good.

Charlie enjoyed riding on the underground for the first time though he was a little concerned as he didn't think there was anyone driving it!
