National Blood Service Protests - Update
I cannot see anything in the news about yesterday's protests about closing U.K. blood centres apart from this from BBC Birmingham. Anyone got any news?
Thanks for the compliments - and I've forwarded your compliment to RMCH to our consultant and social worker.
As Lucia said the donkeys are still there and there are also aquariums dotted around the place. It's truly a marvellous magical place - and makes such a change from John Crippen's NHS doom and gloom! The building is fantastic as you say. It's such a shame to see the RMCH moving to an ultra-modern seemingly character-less super hospital in central Manchester - but I'm sure he staff will do their best to make it as child-friendly as Pendlebury.

Medical details given apply only to our daughter, the form of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia she has and the treatment she is receiving. Please consult your doctor if you have questions or doubts of any kind
Our daughter, Kezia, came down with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia at the age of two years in 2006 and was evacuated to the UK for treatment. Mum, Nanda, accompanied her and later Nanda's son Jaime went to the UK. Dad, Angus, stayed in Africa earning to support them and periodically visited them. Kezia finished treatment in 2008 and the family returned to Sao Tome e Principe mid-2009. Kezia is doing fine and hasn't relapsed but won'nt be considered "clear" until 2013. Meanwhile Dad was made redundant - at the best of times he's a consultant, sometimes a teacher and often unemployed. Poor White Trash.
We reserve the right to go off topic and talk about anything we damn well like.

Iwonder where your family is from originally?
