Everyone is welcome, and the thread disappears after 90 days.

Thank you for the last thread @lougle. I hope the doctor was helpful and DD2 isn’t feeling too rubbish this morning.

DS1 has used the last of his EOTAS hours today. There will be at least a few weeks before the EHCP is finalised and funding restarts. He will hopefully have his operation during that time, but it is still going to feel like a long time without that provision.

Drspouse sorry that Ds (and you) are in hospital. I hope it is a short stay.

purringtiger it is a shame that the course is less interesting this year. I hope it picks up.

Thanks for the good wishes for Ds. He went to work today and seemed not too bad this evening. Unfortunately he uses most of his annual leave on theatre stuff. He enjoys doing it but never gets a proper rest.

Good news here. Dd's ADP has been renewed at the same rates for five years.😀

@drspouse I’m sorry DS is in hospital. I hope it is a short admission.

@NoHaudinMaWheest great news about DD’s ADP. Good to hear DS seems OK this evening.

@drspouse sorry to hear DS is poorly. I hope the antibiotics work fast.

@PurringTiger strength and fortitude for constitutional law.

@Violasilkie glad the jacuzzi bath is in.

@NoHaudinMaWheest it's good to hear that the theatre production is going well, if exhausting. Great news about the ADP.

@drspouse how scary. Has he woken since? That must have been very frightening.

@NoHaudinMaWheest yay! 5 years peace.

Long telephone call from epilepsy nurse today. Just checking we are ok but I feel tired of it all.

@drspouse what a shock how is DS doing?

@NoHaudinMaWheest good result although I do think as adults the review period should be longer assuming Scotland has the same mechanism for reporting significant changes.

@Zzzzzs oh I hope Dcat strolls in one day and wonders who the kittens are.

He's doing fine, they now don't think it's bacterial, he's been up and eaten some very late lunch and now is reading a 13 Storey Treehouse book for about the 65th time. We're in overnight but we'll go home in the morning (hospital is about 5 mins walk from home) and come back for antibiotics on Sat morning if he still needs them.

@drspouse I am glad DS is doing OK and is well enough to be up, eating and reading. I hope you manage some sleep tonight. What a worry for you.

PurringTiger · Yesterday 22:41
