LITTLE FIGHTER
 | |
Hello again, I am writing this post for my beautiful twelve year old daughter, as she faces a very big week.
Her final assessment with a specialist group of doctors who will explain why she has found it impossible to attend her new school since September, finds social interaction exhausting, is anxious & unable to relax or keep still, finds listening to instruction overwhelming, finds getting to sleep difficult, is restless on long journeys, needs to run off built up energy to relax, finds being away from home overnight makes her feel sick & has always had difficulty remembering things. It has been a dreadfully upsetting time for us all & I have fought everyday with medical & educational professionals for this meeting to happen.
Whilst it is a frightening thought to think your child may be diagnosed with something that you never imagined, it has to be the starting block to then move forward educating family members, friends & schools to help her to live a better life with understanding & respect for her needs. With no expectations we are open minded as to the outcome.
I feel having a diagnosis also allows the child themselves to come to terms with why life has been so tough & almost impossible at times. With posistive mentoring via us as parents & outside support it is the childs time to grow & develop ways of working through their difficulties with a sense of pride & worth.
This afternoon as we were on our way to the hospital for one of her assessments she said," Mum before I went to sleep last night I thought to myself if only I could be as strong as you are, you are an inspiration"!
When I am really doubting myself about how I have coped throughout our massively changed way of life, that has continued to slowly emerge over the last three years, I must remember my daughter's wise & kind words to reassure myself that I am doing ok!
Thank you sweetheart
SHE TOO IS A LITTLE FIGHTER & LOVES LIFE
Whatever the outcome of this weeks very difficult appointments for my daughter, I know in my heart this is just the beginning of brighter things for one very strong, brave & special girl, my girl!
LOVE YOU TO THE MOON & BACK
Thank you for reading today
Until next time, take care.
