Once upon a time, not so very long ago........

Little Leon was born with a poorly heart. This made his Mummy and Daddy sad and they decided to search for a special friend who would keep Little Leon company and look after him while he was in hospital.............

The Adventure begins..............

Little Leon losses Mr Snuggles.....................



Wednesday was a sad day for Little Leon, he had been for a walk with Mummy, up to the chemist, across to ASDA, on to the Town Hall and down the beeeg hill, calling at Grammas house and then home.  Mummy said, 'Where is Mr Snuggles' Leon just laughed.....

So while Daddy was giving Leon some tea Mummy retraced her steps, up to the chemist, across to ASDA, on to the Town Hall and down the beeeg hill, calling at Grammas house and then home. No Mr Snuggles, Mummy was hoping that someone had found him and taken him in before the torrential downpoor had started.  He would have got very soggy!  Mummy was upset and Little Leon screamed for a while because he had to snuggle with something else, Mummy gave Leon her Flat bear and wondered what to do next.  So she rang ASDA again and still no Mr Snuggles......
Mr Snuggles with Leon on the morning he went missing....
Thursday arrived, Little Leon got spruced up to go for his review and see his Nursey Ladies, he was taking them chocolates to say thankyou for his lovely stay.

Mummy put him in the car and drove to the end of the road, she hadnt been into the chemist last night because it was too late and the shop was closed..... so Mummy popped in and asked if they had found Mr Snuggles.  Well what luck, the lady behind the counter said that they found him under a chair, and put him in his own paper bag with Little Leons address, and if Mummy had not gone in to ask she was going to bring him home herself.  Mummy was thrilled, she realised that Mr Snuggles is a bear with no mouth, (and wondered how he eats his porridge!), so he couldnt shout that he had fallen out of the pram! 
MMMM Gumigem!
Little Leon is teething a lot at the moment so Mummy bought him a Gumigem, its fabulous, made from teething material and hung around Mummys neck so Leon can chew that instead of the Buddha pendant mummy wears!

oh no torrential rain and Mr Snuggles is missing...


A rather beautiful visitor to the garden before the rain. A comma butterfly

So, on to the hospital to see the lovely Registrar, she used the bleepy scany thing and declared Little Leon leak free with no lurking fluid!  Wooooo!  Little Leon, Daddy and Mummy were so relieved and celebrated by going for a coffee at Costa! So they dont want to see him until September unless he is poorly, but so far he is looking for mischief at  every opportunity and you can hear laugher around the house, Daddy wont go to work in the mornings until he gets his smile from Little Leon!

Mr Snuggles, safe back at home looking after Little Leon
So now Leon is well and so is Mr Snuggles, Daddy and Mummy are very relieved and looking forward to taking Little Leon on adventures.........

Hi...i've been trying to reach out to you since reading the Daily Mail Online's story about Leon, in which I posted this: I'm reading this story in tears - December 7th 1985 my daughter was born in Leeds, also with tetralogy of fallots. She too required four surgeries. Her chief surgeon, Mr Duncan Walker, of the now defunct Killingbeck Hospital in Leeds, asked me to allow an experimental 'zipper style' closure, in between her surgeries. It wasn't quite the same as Leon's, but very similar. It was a great success. How amazing that 25 years to day, that little Leon would come along with the same medical issue and in the same city. My daughter is now a happy, healthy 25 year old Chef in the USA. All good wishes to Leon and his family

Seeing Leon's success has brought a wonderful closure to my daughter's story and her bravery. She's very humbled to learn of her legacy through Leon, this past weekend. If you're ever in Texas, we'd love to meet you all.

Much love and continued blessings to you all. Chessah@gmail.com
