Hopefully we'll get a date soon - the waiting is tough at times.<br /><br />Keep up the cheering though we need it! xx AnnAnnBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13234041798702329756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8391358548319943099.post-31341118704817352312012-06-26T22:13:33.120+01:002012-06-26T22:13:33.120+01:00Ann

I'm full of admiration for your clear thinking and use of black humour to deal with all the sh*te thrown at you.<br /><br />I honestly believe that no matter what challenges lie ahead across the water, it will be plain sailing compared to the stormy passage weathered in Ireland.<br /><br />Safe journey and I'll be cheering for you all the way!<br /><br />Steph xStephhttp://biopyreport.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8391358548319943099.post-58416731611298580092012-06-07T09:33:37.520+01:002012-06-07T09:33:37.520+01:00Ah Anne Thanks!

Feeling the love wafting up the coast from Miltown - hope to see you over the summer x<br /><br />Eilis - how lovely to hear from you and thanks so much for your kind comments. The services are just all wrong - they serve neither the kids nor those who have to work with them. Change will be tough as I see young idealist staff being gradually ground down by the system. All we can do is keep shouting!<br />Hope all is well with you and your family<br /><br />Cheers to you both AnnAnnBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13234041798702329756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8391358548319943099.post-71345740468908274142012-06-07T01:10:18.920+01:002012-06-07T01:10:18.920+01:00Just came across your blog accidentally and have r...Just came across your blog accidentally and have read a lot of it. I am overwhelmed by your strength and tenacity in the face of such cruel bureacracy. I have been moved to tears of anger several times reading through the posts. I have a passing acquaintance with the Early Childhood services as I teach the junior class in a special school. I have been unimpressed (with one notable exception - a wonderful committed OT - she's new...) but I hadn't fully appreciated how horrendous that all is on the parents of the kids I teach. I'll see them in a new light from now on. I hope you continue to find the strength to fight the unfortunately necessary fight. Your boy sounds like a wonderful riot of mischief (my 1 year old has yet to discover the chimney - eek!) and is lucky to have such strong parents and sister to look after him.

"The dragons huffed and puffed and threatened to blow my house down. There was no way a surgeon was going to sign a form to say he couldn't do a rare procedure." Got it in one when you wrote about the egos landing. Those consultants are so up their own derrieres they haven't a clue the effect they have on people. With strong women like you they hopefully will begin to see the light. Such a shame that you and Rory and the family have to go through such sh*te in your struggle to keep Rory well.
