[Callum's Mum]

thanks for letting us know, and sorry it's been awhile since we asked for progress

No need to apologise. Life goes on.
Even though 4 years have gone by, still feel
an affinity to this group because of the support and words of encouragement given.
And also being a proud mum I want to boast about his achievements!!

Boast away CM, you have every reason to be proud of the boy. I'm sure I speak for everyone on here when I say we're proud of him too, he's inspirational.

Hi!
Been a while since I've updated you all on Callum's progress, and as it will soon be 4 years since his accident I thought I'd bring you up to speed.
He's completed a year at college, he's found it challenging at times, but has passed his first year!
However, now that he's 18(!!), he's decided, and we agree with him, that he'd like to start looking for work.
With that in mind he's been volunteering on the ward where he was a patient! Amazing or what! He's looking for an apprenticeship in the NHS, as he knows they will be supportive of his disabilities.
He's still loving his football, and was named players player of the year for his disability football team.
So, all in all, everything is going great!

Glad to hear Callum is doing so well. Good luck to him with finding an apprenticeship. Thanks for the update!

Long time no update, so here goes!
Callum’s approaching the end of his apprenticeship. He applied for a permanent position and was offered a job last week!
I feel like this is probably the last of my updates.
His journey is not over, but where he is means that his new normal is ordinary - and that is fabulous! He’s a normal 19 year old, going to work, enjoying football with his mates and having the occasional lager!
Thanks to one and all !

I've just re-read the entire thread. Inspirational an emotional stuff.
It's made me message my kids to tell them how much I love them, and I only saw and cuddled them yesterday!

Hope Callum and his family are well and enjoying life
