I would like to thank everyone who has contacted Sally and I with best wishes for our son Max.
He is being treated at Alder Hey, which is one of the best hospitals in the world, and we are thankful for the incredible work being carried out by doctors and nurses.
Your support has given us strength at this difficult time and for this I am sincerely grateful.

UN Decision right on Darfur
Alyn and Deeside MP Mark Tami has welcomed the leadership shown by Prime Minister Gordon Brown in pressing for a peacekeeping mission to Darfur.
Mr Tami said there was an urgent need for action in the Sudanese region, where 200,000 people have been killed through violence and war.
A joint resolution at the UN by the UK and French Governments has now seen the expansion of an African Union force to quell the violence and bring peace to Darfur.
Mr Tami said: “This is precisely the sort of approach to foreign policy that we will see from Prime Minister Brown.
“Within weeks of entering Number 10 he has secured a vital vote in the UN, which will see up to 26,000 troops and police joining the peace campaign in Darfur.
“In addition, Mr Brown has pressed for a significant increase in the amount we invest in eliminating poverty worldwide, as well as demanding greater access to HIV treatment in the developing world.
“I am hopefully that with the influence of Gordon Brown at the UN, we will see a far more conscience-based approach adopted by the world’s leading powers.”
Mr Tami has a number of copies of Gordon Brown’s speech to the UN, which he would be happy to send to anyone interested in reading it. Please contact 01244 819854 for a free copy.

Sentences Must be tougher for Animal Cruelty
Alyn and Deeside MP Mark Tami has called for harsher sentencing of people found guilty of neglecting or abusing animals.
Mr Tami said he was appalled by the rise in animal cruelty in Wales, which saw the number of cases of neglect increase by more than 25 per cent between 2005 and 2006.
He said: “There is a shocking catalogue of crimes which cannot be ignored.
“People who harm animals often have little regard for human life too, so they must be punished more harshly.
“I am also disgusted by the rise in neglect cases, where animals have been left to starve simply because their owners are too lazy to feed them. There can be no excuse for neglect and so sentences for those found guilty of it should be increased.”
