Thoughts and prayers for Vio and baby James

I'm hoping that you kind ladies will be able to offer some kindness;

Vio is a member of MN, posting mainly on the bumps north of the border thread and also due in April. She had her little boy 2 weeks ago, sadly he has been born with a genetic skin condition called EB. Many of you may have seen a channel 4 documentary a few years back about a man named Johnny from the north east who also suffered with this.

Vio is being extremely strong and quite honest I am in awe of her.

I'm sure Vio, her husband and baby James would appreciate any thoughts and prayers from you at this difficult time.

You can see her post here

Also, you can visit the DEBRA website here

Many thanks

GMM

My Professor of Psych last year was a friend of Johnny, from what I have been told he led a fulfilling life in many ways.

My heart goes out to your family Vio, once you're settled abck in we have an SN board separate to this you would be most welcome to join in and weep / laugh with us (all different SN).

And like NotAnOter what can we do to help? even if its only ards or whatever, or food deliveries to give them space from chores?

Vio, I'm so sad that your son has been diagnosed with this cruel condition.

I hope the future brings brighter days for James, you and your husband and that ongoing research leads to treatments and please God, a cure.
