In September 2021 my youngest son August-James became unwell with a rash and fever we took him to our local (Lewisham) hospitals A&E department who suspected he had an infection but could not locate it, they prescribe some antibiotics however after 3 days it seemed that the antibiotics prescribed were not working and Aj was still unwell so the doctors decided it would be best for him to be admitted into the hospital.
Aj had been in hospital for around a week and had numerous tests, scans and x-rays but the professionals at Lewisham were still unable to figure out what was making him unwell. He was continuing to have fevers and he started to have swelling in his feet and was struggling to walk.
In the morning of Saturday October 9th Aj woke up with some swelling to his face and was sent to have an eye test he was booked in to have some bone marrow and a lymph nodes tested for Monday. On Sunday morning the anaesthetist came round to meet Aj ahead of the procedure and gave him the all clear but later that evening Aj started to have trouble breathing and was hooked up to the oxygen machine to give him some assistance.
Those 10 days were the hardest of our lives seeing Aj hooked up to machines to help assist with his breathing and different tubes placed inside him to give multiple medications it was hard to watch but through it all the doctors and nurses did their best to keep us reassured and keep us updated. We were given a room onsite so that we could always be close by.
I would like to raise as much money as possible for the Evelina Hospital as a way to say thank you and show my appreciation for everything they done for Aj and our family while he was being cared for there and to ensure they have the funds to continue to do what they do and help other families like ours in the future.
ATHENS, Ga. --- The Georgia soccer team fired 26 shots and forced Vanderbilt keeper Alexa Levick to make 13 saves, but the Bulldogs failed to find the back of the net in Friday night's 0-0 tie with Vanderbilt in the SEC opener at the UGA Soccer Stadium.
"Our focus this week was to be more dangerous in the final third, and we were," said head coach Steve Holeman. "Obviously their keeper had a phenomenal game. We created so many good opportunities and she stoned us a couple times from point-blank, one-vs.-one. We played well but just didn't put the ball in the back of the net."
The Bulldogs had their chances in each period of tonight's game, including 10 shots in each half of regulation. Two of Georgia's best looks at the goal all evening came in the first seven minutes, as Jenna Owens and Madeline Barker each had close-range shots saved by Levick to set the tone for the keeper's night. With under 19 minutes to go in the first, sophomore midfielder Tori Cooper had a good look as Owens dished it up to her in the middle, but Levick again roped in the shot.
Vanderbilt then had perhaps their best chance of the night to that point when Cherrelle Jarrett got a header on a cross and was wide open in the center, but Ashley Baker came up with the stop for Georgia.
Ten minutes into the second half of regulation, Meghan Gibbons had one saved from inside the six-yard box and it rolled over the end line to set up a Bulldog corner kick, but Georgia was unable to finish the set piece. With 30 minutes left, Gibbons was wide open in the middle and carried the ball up field before dumping it off to Owens, whose shot was again corralled by Levick.
The Georgia defense held up its end of the bargain in the second half - allowing just three shots all period, including a stretch of over 35 minutes. The Commodores finally got one off with six minutes to go in the second, but the Ashley Oswald shot went wide and it remained scoreless.
Levick made another great save with five minutes to go in the second half on a header by Gibbons, and Georgia knocked on the door again just two minutes later only to see a Cooper running strike sail high.
Georgia had an opportunity in the first 30 seconds of the first overtime period when Cooper placed a great ball on the foot of Gibbons, who turned and fired from point-blank range, but it was pulled in by Levick. Midfielder Nicole Locandro had a long-range look go just wide with 2:20 to go in the first added period, and with 30 seconds left Dennis' header went wide as she connected with a loose ball in the middle and the teams remained scoreless with 10:00 to go.
Levick then made her 13th and final save - proving to be the one that would preserve the shutout - on a deep shot for Cooper that bounced away, but no Georgia players were there to tap in the rebound.
Georgia is now 1-1-1 on the season in overtime games, and 2-1-1 at home. Gibbons led the Georgia effort with six shots, while Cooper had five. The Commodores' leading scorer Cheyna Williams fired three for the visitors.
