Some Bad News for Cole he was training for his Discovery Cup Final at School while Simone was doing her interview in Vanderbijlpark, he managed to fracture his 5th Metatarsal on his left foot, Cole is absolutely devastated as he can't train for at least 5 weeks. That means he can only support his School team while playing their Final for the Cup Game, and he is out of Club and Eastern Gauteng Soccer until his foot has healed. Cole is going to drive us nuts hopping around on one leg for the next 5 weeks!!

Simone is very excited as Today her Tutor Mandy will be starting. We are extremely grateful to Mr Workman the Principle at Assumption Convent for everything they are constantly doing to make things easier for Simone, they referred Mandy to us. Mandy is currently studying at Wits here in Johannesburg she already has a couple degrees behind her. Without the help and assistance from Mr Workman, Teachers and the Assumption girls things could be a lot worse for Simone. She is motivated and very determined to finish Grade 9 and is looking forward to doing her exams at the end of this year.

SHOCKING NEWS!! The Sister that took Cole's blood did not take enough blood for the testing and she managed to lose the two measely vials that she did take..... Which means Cole will have to go back to have more blood drawn.. This means we will have to wait a further two weeks before getting the Blood Tests back from Cape Town. Cole will need the support of his family and friends to go through the needle again. Cole is a strong young man just like his sister so he will be just fine.
We had to break the News to Cole that he had to go for more Blood Tests the same Day that Cole's School Team Bedfordview Primary School made it through to the semi-final of the Discovery Cup for their soccer team. He was very Happy until he heard the news that he had to go back to the Ampath Lab.
