Our 'Children with Disabilities' team social worker phoned last week to say she wanted to come out to see us and to 'warn' us that she needs to do a review and they may pull our carers hours and she messed up and gave us too many (this was after 9 months of them assessing us as needing support and then not doing anything about it - until an emergency).
I work full time, my husband is waiting to have an operation (said emergency) and can't do any lifting of our 13 year old with cerebral palsy (she needs physical help with everything). When he got a hernia we were given hours to cover the time our daughter gets home until I can get home from work.
Husband is still waiting for op and to be honest is really not the appropriate person to do our daughters personal care anymore, as a teenage young lady (in all ways starting this month!)
What can we say / do at this review meeting to keep our care hours - we were really struggling and this has made SUCH a BIG difference to us and has given us some 'family' time not just always care needs, care needs, care needs.
