So glad that it went well.Rh loves holidays-he likes the fact that we're unhurried.xx

Hope you are both pain free quickly.xx

it's all true.However,it is only in later years that the human cost of the current policies will come to fruition.xx

Enjoy the chance tp recharge your batteries and go at a more sedate pace.xx

I think it's an age thing.12yo boys are just like that.xx

It may also be worth checking out if other children have touched her in an inappropriate way.Recently my ASD child told me that another child had asked to pee in his mouth and then he'd be his friend.(This actually happened 3 years ago,so I don't know if Rh let the boy do this to him,or not). It may be worth getting help to create a social story about not touching private areas on others. Also,just a thought but if your 3yo isn't long out of nappies,she might be acting out what she thought happens at nappy changing time.xx

Was your relative in a Care home or a residential home?I ask because a care home has qualified nurses on shift 24/7 and a residential home is more to support elderly people who are able to meet most of their own care needs.The sort of support and care they get is slightly different. Ask them what risk assessment was carried out.The thing is,sometimes people are actually more at risk with bedrails because some dementia patients will try to climb over bedrails.Care staff can't easily watch every single resident all night long because the residents have single rooms and the saff many menial tasks to carry out overnight,too. Often,it's a judgement call as to whether bedrails are a safety measure or more of a danger. In the first instance,I would ask questions of the care provider.xx

Hopefully your family will be clear of chickenpox by the end of August. Bicarb of soda in the bathwater might help relieve the itching.There is also a calamine CREAM (not the lotion).One of mine took the remedy Rhus Tox and didn't suffer too badly.Hopefully,though,it will pass quickly.xx

I think that it was good for Dot that you bought the cat and a learning curve for Com.xx

A real kleenex moment!xx

Enjoy the holiday,hope you survive the house move and congratulations on the pregnancy.xx

My son also has a dog phobia.In his case,he believes that dogs eat bones and that they want to eat his bones.Nothing we say will convince him otherwise.xx

I'm glad that you've got answers.Look after yourselves in the days ahead;it's an emotional time.xx

(((((Fiorelli))))) Don't feel guilty for needing a break.I hope that you get a chance to recharge your batteries and your son will get some quality time with his dad,too.xx

Wow.That's fantastic news.xx

So sorry that you're going through such a tough time at work.I'm thinking of you but have nothing tangible to add.xx

My 11 yo was sure it was a decimal number but hadn't got round to working it out.He was halfway there.xx

Good.Please let us know when you hear of the date.xx

I found it hard waving my then 3 yo off on transport but I had no choice because I had 5 other children to get to school.It wasn't easy. However,the escorts were so kind,as was the driver and it quickly became the highspot of his day.He is 8 now and still loves going on transport.xx

http://www.nas.org.uk/nas/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=425&a=4972 I have heard that this book has been helpful to some children with similar problems.xx

Thank goodness that you noticed.Hope the store take your complaint seriously.xx

Many congratulations.How marvellous. xx

Fantastic.Good to know that they think highly of him and want to help him.xx

Glad that you got the all clear.You must belong to the mystery pain club.xx

Oh,I hate days like that,too.Hope that tomorrow brings better things.xx
