Our Pal - Milo L

Milo is currently undergoing treatment for B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia. He was diagnosed in November 2021 after he didn’t bounce back from a chest infection as expected. He was refusing to walk, was very pale, had gone off his food and had a rash. His GP sent us over to the hospital for some blood tests. It was then we were told the devastating news that Milo has Leukaemia. This was made especially difficult as his little brother was due in 6 weeks later.

Like the true superstar he is, Milo has coped with his treatment and the arrival of his baby brother beautifully. In May 2022 Milo has entered maintenance treatment and is starting back at nursery for a couple of days a week in July.

Update 3rd January 2023

It is time for Milo to move on from post pals. While he is still in treatment, he is doing really well and the happy post can be diverted to those in much more need.

Thank you so much for allowing him to be a pal and for the wonderfully generous post he has received. It truly does make a difference when children are so ill.

Update 27th October 2022

Milo is in the maintenance phase of his treatment and is going well. He is in this phase of treatment until early January 2025. Milo attends nursery 2 days a week which will increase to 4 in January when his little brother, Dylan, joins him.
Milo has become obsessed with all things Toy Story and Disney lately. Though Paw Patrol, dinosaurs and vehicles ares still up there.
His brother Dylan is now developing his own interests and is Hey Duggee mad (just like Milo was at this age).
