Robs Story

6 years ago my 23 month old daughter became very ill, she was almost lifeless on the sofa  it was the Easter bank holiday and the GPs were closed so we took her to A+E. A few hours later she was diagnosed with an ear infection and we were sent on our way. A few days later and our daughter had become seriously ill. She wasn’t moving and had lost an enormous amount of weight. She was pale with large dark rings around her eyes. On the Tuesday we took her to the GP where they immediately did a blood test and her blood sugar levels were off the scale. The GP rang Musgrove where we had to take her  immediately and the staff were waiting for us. Our daughter was then diagnosed type 1 diabetic and spent the next 5 days in high dependency. Our lives, including her 4yo brother and hers were never going to be the same again. We knew nothing about diabetes let alone care for a 23 month old diabetic. After coming to terms with this we were introduced to the Josh Evans Trust Fund and were given books supplied by the trust fund to help us with our homework. Since being introduced to the trust fund we have had days out and Christmas trips with all the other diabetic children which is amazing for our daughter to see other children the same as her. Please help me raise funds for the Josh Evans Trust Fund. so they can continue supporting families in Somerset. Thank you Rob.
