Big thanks to Nigel Elliott for converting Gavin's old bed into a desk.
The bed was made for Gavin a few years ago by John Killilea through Aoibheann's Pink Tie and we didn't want to get rid of it.
We're So delighted with how it has turned out.
Our buddy will be with us all the way while we help as many families as we can.

Update on Gavin
Sorry for not updating everyone, we wanted to wait until we were back home and settled.
We arrived back home 2 weeks ago today. Once Gavin was comfortable after his operation in Arnold Palmer hospital, the staff and Make a Wish arranged an air ambulance to take us back home. Gavin was very happy to travel in a plane in his bed and was very comfortable all the way home thanks to JET ICU for the great trip. We were so well looked after by all the doctors, nurses and play specialist staff in Arnold Palmer and have made many friends so we thank you all for your help during our stay.
We were then picked up in Dublin airport by BUMBLEance and brought to Crumlin hospital with Gavin’s Gardai friends in front as they wanted to welcome him home. We have spent the last 2 weeks in the ICU Ward as Gavin had another operation last Monday. The surgical team and all the nurses have been amazing and really looking after Gavin very well.
We are now out of ICU and in another ward. Gavin is in great form as always and doing well. He is sitting up watching lots of DVD’s and keeping all the nurses entertained and me and Jayne…bossing us around which is great to see.
The plan now is for the surgical team to monitor Gavin over the next 10 days and see how everything is going and then hopefully we will be able to go home.
“We would ask that any online or press media to be mindful of what quotations you print please as we need to be careful of Gavin’s brother and sister and what they can read”.

Update on gavin
These aggressive new tumours have already grown rapidly and have caused blockages in Gavin's abdomen.
We travelled to Orlando on Sunday as Gavin was granted a trip to Disney World for the family, by "Make a Wish".
But unfortunately he had to be brought by ambulance to the Arnold Palmer Hospital in Orlando before we could get to the park, with abdominal complications. He has had surgery and is currently recovering in ICU.
We are not sure how long he will be in the hospital but our aim now is to get him well enough to travel home to Ireland.
Once we know what is happening next we will be able to update everyone again. Thanks everyone for your support and prayers.

Calling for people to join TeamGavinGlynn for this years Dublin City Marathon
Leaking Tube
So this morning early start 6am we were all up and into the hospital. Gavin had to be sedated so the tube could be replaced so he had to fast and no liquids from last night.
He's all good now and just about to leave he's happy that his super brother and sister are here minding him.
