On the 14th July 2011, two of our kids from Greendale Nursery had the joy of a new baby sister, Sophia. Unfortunately at 5 days old she was diagnosed with viral meningitis which affected her heart, lungs and liver and she had to be admitted firstly to the Neo-Natal Intensive Care Unit then to the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children. Further to this Sophia developed bacterial septicaemia and was gravely ill.
However after 8 weeks in the unit Sophia was well enough to go home to her family. Sophia’s parents, Jim and Janet, were extremely grateful for the treatment that Sophia received during her time in the hospital and are now funding raising for the Neo-Natal Special Care Unit and the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit through the Sophia Fund.
The next event that they have planned is The Black Tie Ball at the Ramada Hotel at Shaw’s Bridge on the 28th April 2012. Tickets are £40 each and can be obtained by calling Barbara at our Greendale Nursery on 028 90838389. All tickets purchased before the 01 March 2012 will be entered into a prize draw for an overnight stay including breakfast at the Ramada on the night of the event. It’s sure to be a great night for an extremely worthwhile cause, so if you are interested please give Barbara a call!!
