Our Grandson

[Swillis]

Harry I wish you the very best of health for the future. I also now hope that Brighton secure promotion this year, just for you little man.

Friend of mine is a paramedic. Whilst out one day she witnessed a man having a heart failure, he was not breathing. My friend just went into automatic drive and saved the mans life, just like we would turn on the tap. After, my friend briefed the ambulance crew and then we walked away. Changed the way I treat my friend though, I'm always first to buy a round now.

Knowing Harry's Dad as I do, I have no doubt he will achieve his aim of getting a defibrillator in schools across Brighton.
It will take time I am sure but he will get there. And any other instances like this will also have a happy conclusion .

Fantastic! It just goes to prove how important it is that people have a knowledge of basic first aid. Best wishes to the lad and all of his family.

Wise words indeed from you, My Lord! As a First Aider myself I'd urge everyone who gets the chance to do a First Aid course. You might never be called on to use that training, but look at this fantastic outcome for one of our own. Best wishes to the lad, his family, and a big THANK YOU to the lady involved and to the oft-maligned staff of the NHS - there when we need them......

Yesterday our seven year old grandson , Harry should have been in his seat in the ESU with his older brother Olly,,dad and grandad (me). However last Wednesday while playing footy at school he collapsed, having suffered a cardiac arrest. His life was saved by a member of the school staff giving CPR for 15 mins while awaiting paramedics his heart had stopped and he had stopped breathing.
On arrival at the Alex he had to be resuscitated again. He was stabilised and transferred to the Evelina children's ICU in London. His Mum and Dad have been with him since day one.
Thanks to the wonderful woman who saved his life, he is now sitting up with tubes etc removed and able to communicate normally. On Thursday he will have a mini defibrillator fitted under his skin which get things going again if such an event recurs. We are off to see our lovely boy today.
Thank you to the woman who saved his precious life , the brilliant paramedics, the doctors and nurses who work tirelessly for our brilliant NHS , all our family and friends who have given us support and prayers through these last few days.
And thanks to Beram Kayal for the get well video message to Harry!

Great News - Harry has had his mini-defibrillator fitted under general anaesthetic this afternoon (Thurs), and all went according to plan. Provided there are no more hiccups he will be home in BN41 with Mum, Dad and big brother Olly this coming Sunday. Then another three weeks before he can go back to school (cant see him being too worried about that - just means lots of playing on his tablet, PS4, watching Cartoon Network and cuddling his Rats). Targetting a return to the Amex for the Burnley game on the 2nd April!

Thanks for all the great messages on here, for the NHS, Paramedics, CPR trained school staff, and his brilliant parents who have been totally by his side these last seven days!

Wrong , the Championship match will be on SKY Sports 1, the Jocko match has clashed with an English match before

Hi Everyone

I'm twowheelsbests son and Harrisons father, sorry it's taken me so long to log in and say thanks to you all for your great messages of support. i wanted to let you know that harry is doing really well back at school and will have his next check up on the 6th April, at this point all being good we'll get a wi-fi connected interface with his ICD that will send all the info back to his consultants at the evelina!

Some of you may have also have spotted our storry this week in the mirror and of course on the front page of the Argus today


we've already started work with the BHF to get Christine further recognition and will also be applying for a humane society award. We are also really please to be working with the Connor Saunders foundation who are going to supply Harrisons school, Peter Gladwin with the next defibrillator they raise funds for.

The club have been great too, we have Harrys shirt replaced, a signed away shirt by all the first team, a signed programme from kayal and even a little video message form Kayal as well. We have also been promised a ground tour by the club which I'll be arranging soon.

So just wanted to say how important it is to know CPR if you've learnt before, go on a refreshed, if you havent check the St Johns Ambulance website for courses near you and ask your PTA if you have kids or your workplace if they have plans to install a defibrillator at your local school or in your workplace, it really does save lives.

thanks again for all your support, harry will be coming back to the Amex for the Burnley match hopefully cheering us on to a win.

So glad young Harry is on the mend, I have a mini defribulator fitted in my chest, due to a genetic heart condition, so far mines has fired 42 times in 8 years, the most recent, last Friday night,(6 Feb).
It isn't a very pleasant experience when it shocks you, but it's far better than the alternative.
I agree with you about our marvellous NHS, I owe them my life.

Just an aside, I've had a further 3 shocks since this post, hopefully, young Harry never has to experience one

 

[Petunia]

As a grandparent...............

Before the game yesterday Harry + Big brother Olly (plus Dad and Grandad ) were taken on a changing room and pitchside tour with the the legend that is Bob Booker. It was a fabulous experience and Harry got to get his photo with Player of the season and his favourite Kayal! We also had photos with CH, Stockers, Tomer and Bruno - all lovely guys and happy to take time out with us before a vital game for the club. A Big Big Big Thank you to Paul Rogers for arranging it, and for Bob's insight and humour.
And I got my picture taken with Legend Gerry Ryan!!!!!!!!!! - if you know me on facebook, you'll see all the pics there
Finally of course, thanks to the NSC community for all your good wishes and messages of encouragement during Harry's illness and subsequent recovery

Terrific stuff from all at the club. My wife works with Alex (Harry's dad) and she's said how chuffed everyone has been by the club's work (and the school too, and as a former Peter Gladwin school student, this also makes me proud) - So glad Harry is here to watch this exciting end to the season - and many more seasons to come!
