Elsie

Elsie was born on November 2014. All was well until she approached her 1st birthday. We noticed her eyes flickering and could see that she wasn't reaching her "mile stones" as "expected.

During the new year she spent time at the Glasgow children's hospital being treated for a respiratory infection. The specialists were called in straight away and investigation began.

Over a year later diagnosis wad confirmed.

We are grateful to all those who have helped Elsie on her journey and to those who stand by her everyday.

Elsie is the happiest wee girl and is progressing at her own pace with sheer determination x
