Update #3 is coming now following more appointments, assessments and referrals. It’s been a busy couple of months for us here. We have not stopped pushing to get Georgie the help which he needs. We are finding that it involves so many highs and lows. But the journey which this is taking us on as a family is incredible.

The Covid19 Outbreak has turned the world upside down. It’s an unknown and unprecedented time, and it seems to have sent the world absolutely mad.
