The Life and Times of William Hodgkins

In 2005, Adam and Liza Hodgkins found that they were expecting their third child. When abnormalities of the heart were discovered at the 19 week ultrasound, they started a journey that would hold incredible emotions and stresses for themselves, their family and certainly for young William Hodgkins when he was born.

Happy Birthday

Today William turned four. His nurses decorated his room with balloons and happy birthday posters and they organised a party for him on the ward. He had volunteers visit him, one of whom was a ballon scuptor and gave him a a lovely balloon teddy bear.

He opened some presents on the ward, had a nap and then we took him to Ronald McDonald House for a birthday lunch with Pos, Pa, Uncle Dan, Aunty Emma, Uncle Dominic and the Kipps cousins.




Will is no longer seeing tigers that are not there. He now has his own soft friendly tiger that is definitely not a hallucination.

Pos made a very hungry caterpillar cake for William with four candles!

Happy birthday to you. It is so lovely to see you smiling and that soft tiger looks like it is nice for a cuddle. I hope you had a very 'Wiggly' birthday and I love the Hungry Caterpillar Cake....
