does anyone remember the name of a programme a few years ago that was following the lives of a group of children that all had a disability or illness.Like child of our times they went back at regular intervals to update their progress, from what i can remember there was a little boy that had a brain condition that caused many fits a day, another boy that was born with dwarfism and a little girl called shelby who had to constantly had to have oxygen and was fed through a tube.I have often wondered how they are all doing now and would like to try finding some info on the web but no matter how hard i try i cant remember what it was called.

l loved the update as well, so lovely to see them all again, the children and parents alike are such inspirations to the rest of us that take life for granted :-)
