Often the best conversations I have had have been in the parent's rooms of children's wards, late at night when you try and have a few moments over a cup of catering tea, flicking through gossip magazines without really taking them in, your mind preoccupied and mulling over the day's discussions with the medical team.

The parent room conversation I wish I could have had with Ashya's mum
December will mark 10 years of me riding the "parent of a medically complex child" roller coaster, I have seen a lot of things, been through a lot and I guess I can sometimes find myself in the position of sharing my experience and thoughts with other parents.

Life in the SEN Pinball Machine
Just blowing the dust and cobwebs off the blog before I begin..... not only has my trusty laptop failed me and just like in the early months of this blog I am reduced to borrowing my son's computer, I am also just about emerging battered and bruised from what can only be described a rocky start to 2013.
Life is never going to be easy parenting four children, especially when two of them require additional attention but when you are also battling the system to get your children the support and help you need then reserves run dry very quickly.
