Billy is Harry's little cousin. Harry's mum and Billy's mum are sisters. Why does Billy have haemophilia too?
Billy is just learning to walk and like most toddlers he can make a real mess! He loves climbing on the furniture and stamping on the floor. He still falls over a lot and that means....bruises!
Billy's mum and dad have had to take a lot of time off work when he needs to go to the hospital. They are sometimes tired and worried but they love Billy very much.
The Haemophilia Society is launching new services and information for parents and carers of children aged under 6. Watch this space!
'Initially we were very shocked with the diagnosis. Things became easier once we were put in touch with the nurse and the Haemophilia Society. We wants the boys to have as normal a life as possible and are determined not to wrap them up in cotton wool'.
