Hi MilkyBarYid
Just a quick question but who is Callum's favourite player?
I only ask, cause many years back, believe it was 1992 my stepson from my previous marriage was born blind. One Sunday morning we read an article in one of the Sunday papers, that a young girl had been sent to some Russian eye clinic to try and cure her sight, which was the same diagnosis as my stepson.
We looked at ways of raising money, and it hit the local paper. When interviewed and asked if he could have sight what would be the 1st things he would like to see, and his reply was "a London Bus, and Gary Lineker play for Spurs"
A little while after we got a call that the operation wasn't a success, then we got a call from the club offering us 4 tickets to see Spurs v Southampton, then a visit to the players lounge after to meet Gary Lineker. At time Gary was either ill himself when he suffered glandular fever or it was at a time when his child was diagnosed with lukemia. That day he turned up and made that boys day.
I don't know if the club still does things but I know they did a couple of years ago for someone on my sisters son-in-laws side of the family.
I know it's a long shot, but perhaps contacting the club with the name of his favourite player, perhaps they might consider doing something even like a visit to the hospital where Callum is. Something like that might trigger a response, and help him out of the coma.
Still with ya Callum hope we get some more positive news today
Good news, anyone think the club could sort him out some tickets when he's up to it? I'm sure they'll do something when the time is right.
Thanks mate, his favourite player is Aaron Lennon, Callum lives in Leeds where Aaron is from, Callum is a fast little winger too as described by his mum.
Which hospital is he in MBY?
I'd rather not disclose that yet without checking with his mum first.
