So much going on with me and shaney. Shaney is with an OT now and has therapressure two hourly and has to do 45 minutes of heavy lifting etc a day plus other stuff so hard to find time for everywhere. If you want to keep in touch I am on MSN proud2b-shanes-mum@hotmail.com. Email or facebook just email me. Otherwise will try and get on here from time to time. Cheers

visit with Minds and Hearts went really well. Report on the way. Shaney will need to see psy for cognitive therapy and go back regularly to see minds and hearts.. unsure how that will go. but gonna try. sadly shaney came home with a really bad viral infection and has been ill since tuesday!... hopefully back to normal soon. Jess gets baptized tomorrow and shaney so sad to miss it

Shane has an appointment at Minds and Hearts on 29/09/08 it is quiet expensive but DOCS have paid for it as Shane needs it so bady an I was unable to find enough money. Its in Brisbane so about 4-5 hours travel in train and bus so shane is freaking out a bit But hopefully will be a good thing for him. Will let everyone know how it goes maybe it would help some others?

Things still difficult for Shane. But our set up in mornings is working much better. School is improving after we had a meeting with them taking along an advocate and a DOCS brighter futures worker. Shane still cries alot and is frustrated but having less problems at school so thats a start. Will take each day as it comes. No idea what is best anymore just taking a step at a time.

Thought I was doing th e right thing moving to an area with heaps of kids. Obviously not. SHane is struggling big time. He loves the kids but its too much and the parents although they like shane get short wtth him and even when he is not the one being naughty he often gets the blame. He and I are becomin alienated from everyone. I don;t know what to do. Am thinkin I might talk to my ex about us moving into the house we jointly own as he is mostly living with his girlfriend now.... just scared of making the wrong decisions again

Having heart problems so been in hospital, glad to be home but more than a little bit freaked out. Shaney has been stressed as had to stay with his dad. Brad is trying but its just not working. Shane cried at the hopsital and in front of brad said I do not want to go home with dad mum. Its so sad

Lots  has happened since Oct. Got a job at local hospital doing admin and doing a course as well so with Shaney as well very tired. Shaney is doing ok but still alot of issues..  His ocds are freaking me out a bit at t he moment. If he likes something particularly buttons he takes them which would be fine except  he is stealing them too. So back to counselling ..... but overall things are good

took my 7 year old to hospital casulty at 9am yestereday we waited until 12.45 then gave up. it was not urgent urgent but could not get into a dr and my son had an infection causing pain on urination so had to do something. I know they are short staffed but it really is apalling when you sit there for hours waiting

Mornings still working beautifully. The day has its ups and downs. Shanes teacher said most of the issues they are having with Shane are aspergers related not bad behaviour so they are working with shane still. In some ways I wish it was just naughty behaviour at least then it would be easier to fix.

I suffer from depression as does shaney and today was the day school went back so I knew he was gonna be worried. So I started the day waking him up singing!@ It was really funny. We then planned a race who could get showered and dressed the fastest without running. Loads of fun and he was so proud of what he could do. Then I decided to take him to Mcdonalds for breakfast and we played, giggled and snacked on pancakes..... We had the best morning and although he was still a little worried he got out of the car and said I am gonna have a good day mum gave me a huge smile and went in the gate to school. No matter what happens today - we had a great start
