We have had a few messages asking how Jake is. Generally he is doing ok. Apart from keeping him hydrated he's doing well. Over the last months he has had a big growth spurt which with having coeliac they have been keeping an eye on his growth so they will be happy with him. Jake keeps getting pains in his leg which were not sure if it's an imbalance of electrolytes or the fact he's growing but he tends to suffer alot after exercising.

Jake has had a quiet summer so far but next week he has a very busy week.
Sunday he has a football tournament
Monday wearing black and white to show his respects up north
Tuesday Filming in bath
Wednesday Bloods
Thursday Football match
Friday Hair cut and packing ready for his holiday in morrocco

Morrocco is going to be extremely hot 47c - 50c so this week is making sure Jake, health wise is good and ensuring he is well hydrated and in between everything else well rested. ❤️

Hope you all have a good weekend ❤️

With the warm weather we have to be careful with Jake making sure he stays hydrated. With the summer holidays we have to take extra precautions as he never stops. He's always out with his mates playing football or at football training. Today his output has been thick and really dark which shows to us he's not getting enough fluids inside of him. Tonight Jake is trying these tablets which help with hydration, electrolytes and vitamins.

Hopefully these will help alongside more fluids to keep him hydrated ❤️

People ask how does he do it.....

These 2 photos are just hours apart..
Pic 1 Dancing singing enjoying life
Pic 2 We had to stop at 1st service station as Jake kept getting cramp in both legs. When we stopped he wasn't able to stand up him self as he was in so much pain..

This is how he suffers with imbalance of electrolytes.
To be able to get Jake to Gallagher Hill and enjoy it on Saturday he had to miss out on football training, going out with mates. He was on orders to rest.

He managed to get to training yesterday but you could tell he was suffering and other parents were asking if he was ok.

Although Jake lives life to the full he has to know when to stop and know the after effects that people don't see.
This will never stop him though ❤️

Last day of year 9 for Jake today.
It's been a mixed year for Jake at school highs and lows.
However he is doing well in all lessons considering the time he has of from school and the battles he faces daily.

1st time in 3 years he has managed his last day of the year which is a bonus as at the beginning of the week we didn't think it would happen as Jake wasn't very well.

With the heat Jake was dehydrated which was making him feel sick dizzy and suffering with headaches. Although Jake is on meds to prevent this it doesn't always work.
With Jake having to make decisions he didn't like and listen to us thankfully we may have kept him out of hospital ❤️

Jake has a few things to look forward to over the summer but most of all fingers crossed he rests as well.

Enjoy the summer everyone and remember good days outweigh the bad days ❤️

As a keeper its best feeling winning a final saving the winning penalty but this couldnt be possible without every single player. Win or lose we are one team ❤️❤️ So proud of my team and coaches ❤️❤️
