A few months ago I wrote about a bump in the road. Hugo had broken his leg and there were questions over his bone density and muscle weakness. My head was spinning with all the 'what ifs' as we waited for answers.
Hugo has been unable to walk since the break. There has been an inconclusive bone density scan, a painful nerve conduction test, a pause from medication, X-rays and most recently an MRI scan to rule out neurological or spinal issues. He has had physio, hydrotherapy and daily exercises. We have had more frequent visits to Great Ormond Street Hospital as they try to understand what is going on and help him get back on his feet. It has been over six months since the plaster cast came off. There are still questions, uncertainty and worry and I am still wondering just how big this bump in the road is.
He is Here

So September has arrived, which means the start of both Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and Blood Cancer Awareness Month. A month where I try to raise awareness, to fundraise and share an insight into the world of childhood cancer. A month that has become incredibly important to me since Hugo was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia just over 2 years ago.
However this year is just a little bit more important, because this September Hugo starts school.
