Now that Daniel is beginning to heal from his post surgery from the assault, we have been looking into the possibility of a further procedure.

We have found a Consultant in London who works for one of the top Children’s hospital in the UK. Having gone to London yesterday to see this new Consultant, Daniel may now have something positive to work towards, so that he can put the last 18 months behind him. It feels as though we have a resolution to work towards.

We still have a long road ahead, but today I feel as though we’re making tracks. I am seeing Daniel’s trip to London as a turning point. I hope it works out.

  1. You will get there. It is all positive. You can now see the end of the road. It is closer than you think.
