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

Vio-conratulations on the birth of baby James.
You will be a great Mum and whilst life can be cruel-you will find a way to get through it and enjoy your baby.

There is some great support here-all you have to do is call....

Congratulations Vio, and so sorry to hear about your baby's skin condition. There are some amazing things happening with genes at the moment, and I hope that one of those breakthroughs will help little James.

Thinking of you, your DH and baby James, Vio.

Thanks GMM for posting this onto the April thread.

I feel that's inadequate, but don't know what else to say - you're in my thoughts.

Vio, no words can describe the heartache you and your family must be feeling. Thinking of you all at this really difficult time. Wanted to add my congratulations on the birth of your beautiful son James and wish you much love and best wishes for the future.

Thinking of you Vio and wishing all the best to James. Sounds like whatever difficulties he has to face he has a wonderful, loving family to support him.

Congratulations on the birth of baby James, so sorry to hear of your worries, wishing you all lots of strength x

daisybump · 10/05/2007 16:05

Vio and family.....
Congratulations on the birth of James and I'm so sorry to hear about his skin condition....it sounds like he's an incredibly plucky young man.
Words just seem so inadequate, but I wanted to let you know that my thoughts are with you and your family at what must be a very difficult and trying time. I'm due in June and a few of us had been following the stories of the April births so although you don't "know" me your MN name was familiar.

Take Care and God Bless
