Right, lets starts from the begining, we moved here in 2000 and only had Ds at the time.And he had been recently dignosed with cerebral palsy DD1 was born 10days after we moved. She was diagnosed with CP when she was 13 months. I also have a 3 year old now. We had an extention built in 2003 for DS so he could sleep downstsirs and I wouldn't have to lift him. He refuses to sleep downstairs because he is only 7 and doesn't like being down here while we are all upstairs! Fair enough... Now we have had to use the wheelchair in the house over the last few days because he is sereve pain and can't walk and we have realised that the extention has no turning circle and its hard to use the wheelchair in the house. yesterday when DH put him to bed (up bunkbeds, no room in the bedrooms for single beds) his leg gave way and he hurt himself. I am thinking about going to council to ask for a bungalow but I know they are going to say that he should sleep downstairs, how can I get round this? I can't carry him for much longer and he is struggling with the stairs
