Hello everyone, Merry Christmas and a Happy new year, and welcome back to my update page, I know it says weekly
but I can't get my dad to do it that regular.

Well, what has happened to me lately?

I have been quite busy with one thing and another, plenty of birthday parties, and the usual Halloween party which was
great as I was dressed up as a vampire. I went to a party with my mum and Grandma in November, it was to celebrate
my cousin getting married, that was really good as I got to see a lot of my relatives which I don't get to see that much.
They had a disco there and I showed everyone how to dance.

I also saw the local cardiologist the other week and he was really pleased to say that my heart was looking really good
and that he didn't want to see me again as I would be reviewed every few years by my proper cardiologist in
Southampton.

In the beginning of December I met up with some other VACTERL children, we had a couple of days in a hotel in
Swindon getting to know each other. It was really nice to meet them all and to see how different their problems are
from mine.

Christmas has been a great time, I have been spoilt as usual and had lots and lots of presents. My Grandma has been
here as well which has been good. My favourite present was a batman costume. It looks really great, the only trouble
with it is that Santa forgot to include the mask, so my Mum phoned Santa the other day and he said that he would post
it to me as he was too tired to pop in this week.

New years eve was quiet for me, I was in bed at 7:30 and didn't wake up at all until 7:15 the next morning. Even the
fireworks didn't wake me up.

I have started pre-school full time and I really enjoy it, I know my mum has been looking forward to the peace and
quiet for ages.

I have started the statementing process for school and they reckon I might have a computer to help me with my school
work........wow

Anyway thats it for now, take care and come back soon.

All my love

Aled
