I am getting very fed up with those 6 words.
My Ds has CP probably quite mild possibly mild to moderate, he has weekly physio, plus some other physio on top at the moment. We have cdc appointments, and some other appointments due to DS other health issues. I took a week off when he was in hospital but I had leave booked then anyway.
I work full time and went back full time when DS was 6 months corrected age. My husband works. We both have "professional" and well paid jobs. However we can both work flexibly and my company say just take the time off when you need it for an appointment, we know you'll get the work done when you need to. DS is in a nursery who are very good, and if and when he's ill my parents help. So far it works. It's hard and I wonder if its sustainable in the long term.
But how does anyone do it.
I know eveyone means well, and they mean those words as a compliment(well apart from my secretary who told me to stop work for my son's sake, but even she said that in a well meaning way).
I don't know whether I am just having a rant as I don't want to hear I have to do more than the average, or whether I am asking am I kidding myself to think I can carry on like this without cracking under the physical pressure. But whichever it is I know you will udnerstand.
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on special needs.
