Recently one of the physios has floated the idea of Miss K being assessed for hip surgery. Her left leg turns in significantly, which not only puts her body off balance, it also increases the curve in her spine. On Friday this week, she will meet with the visiting doctor and be considered for surgery…
Here is Mr B enjoying the new weighted blanket. He loved it, as do all the others who have used it so far. We are so grateful to Susan for the idea and for funding it, the ladies who made it and the lady who donated the material. Cute dinosaurs on the flannel cotton material…
On Saturday, the area I work in was turned into a temporary clinic for doctor assessments for staff and children. This meant that on Friday night all equipment had to be removed and stored elsewhere. Seems simple enough. Technically, it was, but it’s that extra drain physically that takes it out of me and the…
Today I had no set plan for the activities we would do. I got general things out and wanted to focus on their skills while they were distracted with play. On arrival, I found Mr B was waiting for me, dressed and mischievous. It was a warm day, with a need for rain to cool…

Well, what a great staff retreat I just had! Sometimes staff trips can be a little overwhelming with the cultural stuff to concentrate on and the language, but this year felt easier.

She posted…. ‘We’ve been celebrating International Women’s Day at school and we had to tell our pupils about an inspirational woman. I told my classes…
We held our 2018 quiz night at Trimpell Sports and Social Club on Friday 9th March. We almost doubled the number of teams from last year, so thank you to all those that came and made this a very successful night. The crisp identification round proved challenging for some and the 1980s round really…
On a regular basis, I come home from work and turn on my laptop to find an offer of support, in some way or another, from a sweet person from the Nichada community or the church within it. Nichada Thani is a large expat gated community, with people of every nationality. They are mainly families…
Although still chesty and permitted less milk than usual, Mr S is still upbeat emotionally. He is happiest when playing racing cars on the I-pad. He has a slinky and a mobile hanging down to pull and shake and is interacting well with staff. Yet his breathing is still laboured and his heart rate is…
