Simon ran a 10k race on 14 October 2007 for Little Hearts Matter. This is the charity for Kaitlyn's heart condition, it offers information and support for families. Jeremy Weston (Josh's Godfather) also ran.It was a chilly but fine day with a very good turn out. Apparently it was a "tough" course with a hill to climb! Both ran brilliantly and finished safely. Here is a pic of them with Kaitlyn before the start. The other pic is of Rachel Robinson whose son Samuel also has hlhs and is a month younger than Kaitlyn. She ran the 15k well done to Rachel! I may be tempted to have a go myself next year........

Kaitlyn had a check up at BCH on 9th August 2007, her consultant was happy with her heart function. They were unable to check her sats as she gets so upset when anyone "medical" comes near her , she definitely hasnt forgotten any of her hospital experiences yet! The original plan was to have another cardiac catheter towards the end of this year but as she is doing so well the plan now is to delay this until next spring. That is great news as we were dreading being back in hospital around Christmas time again. She is now crawling and exploring everything , she is generally a happy baby enjoying life to the full. Her next check up is in November.

We spent Kaitlyn's first holiday in Kent. We went for a week in August and it rained everyday expect one! I even had the heating on in our 200 year old cottage as the temperatures were nearer to October than the summer. We managed to spend an hour on the beach! Also visited Howletts Animal Park and various indoor play areas which both Josh and Kaitlyn enjoyed.We have decided to go abroad next year.
