Just reading your post whilst lying in a hospital next to my 4 year old who was brought in earlier today. Thankfully it is only precautionary and we should be back out tomorrow. I can only imagine what you're going through,you have my deepest sympathies and my very best wishes. Hope all goes well for him.

Good luck to you and Leon,my daughter works in the theatres and says you couldn't be in better hands so once again good luck.

Hope it all works out well for you, and thanks to everyone for the good wishes, i hope to be back on here next week with good news.

Thanks again, Don & Leon

Can't comprehend how you can deal with this, the bravery of parents and children in situations like this is beyond compare, be strong little man and battle like a dreadnaught. Good luck sir, I hope and prey that everything go's well for you and all your family.

Things like this make you realise how insignificant a rugby match truly is.
All the best for Monday i'll have my fingers crossed for you all.
Try and keep your chin up.

hope everything goes well on monday.our nephew was on that ward with a heart problem and they looked after him brilliantly, hes in good hands.how can they even think about shutting such a vital service.

Good luck for Monday, I'm sure all on here and the Rugby League family in general will be thinking about you. I can not begin to imaging what you must be going through.
Has the little gut still got the bear looking out for him? We all read your blog, Such a moving story! Once again Our thought and prayers WILL be with you.

You have my very best wishes and I've shared Little Leons story with my five children who will all be crossing their fingers tomorrow.

I don't want to even make an attempt at imagining how tough this is for you but it sounds like you've drawn the strength from somewhere.

Here's to looking forward to happier, healthier times for Leon and his family.

Good luck Leon and his family, we will be thinking about you, dont worry you will all be home safe soon. I'm sure of it

Reading something like this really puts things into perspective...

All the best for you and your son.

Good luck, mate. I hope Leon's op goes well, and that you and your family have something big to celebrate soon. Wish you all the best.

Very touching, though upsetting, story and I dread to think how you must be feeling.

Just looking through your website there and it's excellent.. Reading through the sections kind of makes me feel i know you and little Leon even though I've never met you..

Stay strong and try to keep thinking positive. I hope everything goes okay tomorrow and that you get the healthy little boy that you clearly deserve.

Best wishes from this Hull FC household and the rest of the Black and White faithful i'm sure!!

Thinking of you - I imagine it will be a long night for you. He's a lovely little boy. All the best.

good luck to Leon tomorrow. will be in our thoughts.

Well Leon has gone in for his op all we can do now is wait. A big thanks to all for all the best wishes.

Good luck Matey.

Fingers crossed for the little soldier. Best of luck.

thoughts are with all concerned , from all of us the very best of wishes.

Best wishes from me as well. I hope that everything goes as you wish.

good luck to you and Leon, thoughts are with you

After 14 very long hours @Littl_Leon has made it through the op, the next 36 hours in ICU are vital, he is stable but still very ill. A big big thanks to everyone for their good wishes, but more importantly to the Children's cardiac team at LGI they are just magnificent. Hopefully give some better news over the next few days.
Thank you again from me and Helen, but a big thank you from Leon

If you and Leon need some R & R in sunny Australia you are more than welcome to come stay a while....
