Hi how's everyone holding up. I'm finding the days seem to be blending together. My young adults are out of sorts as so many changes to their routines. Just taking each day as it comes x
Meant to post this in the coffee lounge.

I think it's going to last a long. While yet so just need to get through how we can x
My family’s medical appointments have all been cancelled. One child was booked for a speaking valve evaluation appointment to see if it would work or not. She was scheduled for her routine vaccinations and another assessment appointment with a local zero to nineteen team for my area. I had also pushed for a Portage initial appointment for her as I know that she will need lots of intervention and therapy. Cancelled.
And DS had a spina bifida clinic day appointment with his care team too, also cancelled. This is the very important one when I meet a bunch of doctors and consultants and discuss the future as well.
We also typically make some long term plans and then they order any essential equipment on his behalf. His urologist also does a urodynamic test to see what his bladder is doing. I also see the hospital therapists and we carefully evaluate his overall development and progress. That annual appointment was tomorrow. I had some other non routine appointments in addition. Again I was told they had postponed them or cancelled altogether.

Battling poor health, family and everything else.
I myself have been have a rough few days ended up in A &E with chest pain and breathlessness.
I am home now. My neurological symptoms are up and down and I have been in bed for 2 days with pain and numbness.
My children however have taken over (eldest 2) to allow me to rest bless them. The little ones come and lay with me and we talk.
Being in bed not able to move and being housebound is normal for me.
The little children are very worried about covid 19 and I have reassured them.
I think the children have been great in all this. 👏
