[lottiejenkins]

I got a letter from Suffolk County Council today agreeing to fund his college place from next September 2012!!!
I am beyond excited!!!

[yay] fantastic news

Good way to start the weekend

Yippee, well done Wilf.. omg is he really old enough for college?
Which college is he going to?

Its for next year! He is 15 this year !!!

That's great news my DS goes one day a week until June and loves it hopefully he'll be full-time in August.

Its a wonderful college attached to the school where he is now!! I emailed him and told him this afternoon and he emailed me back and said "YAY!!!!!!!!!"

Brilliant Lottie!

wtg fantastic news have a so lovely to hear good news shows us all its not all doom n gloom

Fantastic, not having to worry about moving him etc.
I hope you are having a celebratory glass of something!

I intend to have a glass with neighbours tonight!! I also have thankyou letters to write to our GP (spect you know him anon he's at Fram) Our Paed and our Geneticist. I rang them up a few weeks ago and told them they were writing letters of support and what i wanted written in them!! They very sensibly didnt argue with me and three wonderful letters arrived on my doorstop!!

I don't know your GP (our GP is in Aldeb....) I may well know your paed though!
Very sensible of them not to argue with you, ds2's paed rings to discuss what she is putting on the DLA forms & his statmeent reports, befor she fills them in she's an amazing lady!

Our Paed is Dr Yale at Ipswich!!

Yes I know Dr yale, he treated DS2 in SCBU & has seen him several times over the years although DR James was his named consultant. He comes under the community paed now though, she is great, very proactive & kicks many a backside for us when people aren't doing what they say they will.
although on the whole I have found suffolk (both LEA & Health) have been great, with the exception of SALT provision but thats the same everywhere.

I'm lucky, i have Dr Yales secretaries direct number, can ring her up and say "hello it Charlotte, Wilf's mum." and she knows who i am.He has been going through outpatients since he was three weeks old!
