July is the month where we say goodbye to Florence's Pre School, and a very sad goodbye to EYSDC (Opportunity class). While looking through there learning journals it is funny to see how big a part EYSDC has played in our journey.
We started when the twins were 9 months old (6 months corrective) apart from SCBU and Physiotherapy it was my first step onto a different path, where few parents experience. The first steps on the special needs journey. It has helped us all, as a family tremendously
.
The hot weather has been a worry for me regarding Owen. Owen has poor temperature control. He also has been banned from taking any forms of liquid, so we are pushing the boundaries with lots of thickened smoothies and juices. It is such a battle to keep him hydrated
Lastly today was a stressful day!!!!
We had a busy morning with an appointment to Wheelchair services to finally pick up Owen's brand new Snappi Chair. I say finally as it has taken a long time to get to this point as we were referred in January was on a waiting list and then assessed in early May. So picking it up July seems a age to wait, especially as Owen had grown out of the tandem buggy and was very uncomfortable in it. Owen instantly loved it though.
As the Wheelchair Services appointment over ran we were running so late, we had to miss Owen's Physio appointment we were just beaten by traffic.
While sitting in a traffic jam I received a phone call from Owen's SEND Co-Ordinator. She was calling to let us know that the SEND Panel had failed to come to a decision on what school Owen should attend. This means that Owen won't be starting Sept. He will hopefully start in October.
