That's a shame about the appointment but maybe another referral might help to get to the bottom of her problems and suggest a better medication.
Holidays now and a birthday weekend so have a lovely time.Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.0 -
Great news about DD's presents arriving and I'm delighted that you've ordered your bed :T. I bet you can't wait for it to be delivered on Tuesday :j. Will you have to assemble the bed when it comes?
I agree that keeping a diary about little DD is a great idea. You should document every hospital appointment, every missed school day, every trip to the chemist, every distubed night, etc. So that they can see how much is involved in her care and how much of your time and energy it takes up.
I hope DD has a lovely birthday and likes her presents, I'm sure she will

Thank you
We are going for coffee tomorrow rather than on her actual birthday as her friends coming Sunday for a sleepover. So I've said we'll do the coffee in town tomorrow. So another busy day tomorrow. I've made a start on the cake though and I really don't like how it's turned out
but I'm sure she will love it. It tastes good and I guess that's the main thing!
Going to go and do the touching up of paint and things after my cuppa

So's this - you can now plan in a coffee! It makes such a difference (from a fellow enthusiast
