How's Maddy doing ?

Hebden Bridge Times

Many blog readers in the Calder Valley may have already spotted this, but for those further afield, here's a chance to catch up with a story in this weeks's HB Times.
Compared with many folk, Maddy's enjoyed good coverage in the local rag................and despite her lymphoma experience it seems things haven't changed too much.....

Back to school

Some time's elapsed since the last entry, so this entry is somewhat overdue.
Maddy continues to look great and is getting her life back to normal as far and as fast as she can. This has meant a return to Calder High. She does get tired, and this has meant that she's missed a few sessions, but her attandance over the first few days has been pretty substantial, at around 75%, a lot better than anyone anticipated. Friends, teachers and the school in general have been very welcoming and supportive - it's all looking just about as good as could be hoped for.
