What the petition asks
Poppy's story! On August 25th Poppy's parents received the devastating news that she had water on the brain along with tumours. If Poppy's head had been measured they would have known it was the size of a 2 year old, having JUST turned one!
Poppy's head was 6cm too big and had never been measured/recorded in her red book. Poppy is currently, with her parents, in HDU in Manchester Children's Hospital awaiting her fourth brain operation!
