Well, what a busy few days....

On the plus side, all the meetings and appointments have paid off... as we've got the hours we wanted for Steven for when he leaves school next July, we have the funding for him to have a 1 to 1, five days a week, and some extra hours of a 1 to 1 for the evenings and weekends, so he can also have a social life too...

All we need to do now is to decide what we want him to do, might tap into the odd hour or two at college (was told they would not except him on their courses though, as it seems Stevens ability is too low for them, even though he goes there one day a week with school and has been for the past year)... not sure, will start looking more into that next week, have loads of paperwork to read up on and will make appointments with some private day care centres to have a look round...

On Saturday, hubby, daughter and I went to the NEC in Birmingham to a dental showcase, as our daughter has to attend certain things to get her CPD quotation, as we thought it would be unfair on Steven, we booked him into Russets (adult respite), in which he made Christmas decorations (as the weather was too bad to go out)...

Well what a day that was, not only the weather was horrid, fallen trees and branches everywhere, and the rain was so fierce, we had trouble seeing out through the window screen.... but to me the showcase was like a torture chamber...

It was full of stands with drills, knives, scrapers etc. there were demos of rotten teeth, I even found one woman trying to tell me about implants and if you've not got enough bone in your jaw you can have it taken off your hip, oh my god, hubby could see I was trying to get away, so he said, that's really interesting, so she then went on to show us the screws they use, the different lengths......... arhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I'm sure it was human torture..... they're were lucky they didn't give me nightmares....

Oh the up side, today I actually did some crafting, yes and in daylight too, cannot remember the last time I did that, lol... Steven went out with he's sessional worker for lunch, so in between sorting and doing a few loads of washing...I did a couple of secret projects and started a few maze books, it was a fab feeling....
