In half an hour i will be going back to my grandsons house for the night.I have not stayed of a day as i have given him his own space.When i go back i will get him to do his blood so i can check what else he can or can not eat tonight.Then make sure he does his last injection.I have always been the respite for my daughter and sil.Since he was diagnosed i have had him at least twice a year so they can go away and get away with the routine that diabetes brings. Annie

Thank you Deanna.
I think it is nice how people can come together and talk about the special people in their family.
You truly are remarkable people.
I bet that your daughter and sil are so grateful to you for what you do for them and your Grandson Annie.

Hi

Just seen this thread and want to say hi to all of you with special children.

We have a sixteen year old daughter with Down's. She has none of the physical problems often associated with Down's so I know that we are very, very lucky.

That said, from time to time things have been hard - particularly when we have come across horrid attitudes from people - but she brings so much to our lives that is all insignificant.

Best Wishes to you all


Andrea

Andrea that is dreadful, the attitudes of some people.

Your beautiful daughter is loved by you, and loves you..... what more can any of us ask for?

I keep coming back to read this thread.
Thank you Lisa.... and I have not forgotten you love. x

Keep talking to each other, and I can keep *eavesdropping* on you all.

I think you are brilliant people.... all anyone needs is love, and your children have it in abundance. How lucky can they be?? :-0)

Bless you all and good night.

I know how you feel Andrea,
When I have been out with Kieran people have stared at him and then walked back for another look,which really annoys me.
Hi Deanna, Hope you are keeping well.
I have not forgotten you either.
I really hope that your grandson is ok Annie,
I will be thinking of you all tomorrow.
Thank you Carol, I look forward to you adding your special ones.

Grannie , hope all goes well


I have 4 special children !
Number 1 has autistic problems and caused me the most nightmares. bad behaviour and doing things he should not have done in public and at home. he would go out at 8 am Fridays and return at 3pm Monday evening ...he would go to London to see............he was 13 ! But he is now living on his own ...(in rented house) and doing really well ...well with a phone call or two!

number 2 was born 8lb 4oz and got gastric enteritis at 3 days old , he got Pnemonia at 18months and we nearly lost him! at 6 years old he got e-coli 0157. Hes now 18 and at uni.....he got top marks in england in all his A levels! and I,m proud,

number 3 has Asthma and dyspraxia and could hear till he was 5 ......

Number 4 has urticaria...food allergies

And all my kids are special coz they have got through all these problems TOGETHER.

I do understand you mums who have special children BUT we must also remember their brothers and sisters who go through this with them
SO a BIG cheer for BROTHERS AND SISTERS....XXXX

Thanks for this thread

Totaly agree Kemp about brothers and sisters.My grandsons sister (my grandaughter)has suffered quite a lot of being pushed around while everyone has fussed over grandson.She is so jealous of him and the attention he gets from his parents.She comes here and we give her all our time.I know it does not make up for the parents,but grandson is very bad with his diet and been told he will only make it to 18 if he carries on like this.My daughter is out of her mind.He is one of the nicest boys i know of but he is killing himself.Grandaughter is doing everything to get everyones attention. Annie

I realised one day that this could happen to my kids .......
so when my son asked
Why is it always us ...I said "we are the raggy doll family"
at the time this was a programme on tele about dolls that had things wrong !..back to front...coz he had his head ...back to ......

My son loved it ...so thats what they are .....
