Hello all.

Things are moving forward and I have been in contact with a wide variety of possible places that will take my lovely young lady.

I did see her today and have shed a tear or 2. I cuddled her, kissed her, said that I missed her and love her very much. Sadly there was just nothing there at all from her side. She is not able to connect at all today.

I bought her a new winter coat which is her favourite lilac/ pink colour and she tried it on and said she liked it which was nice.

This afternoon she is out with my son and my sister to see the new Nativity film.

I really hope she gets the chance to laugh in the film as I have heard that it is funny.

Richard and I are going through all the lists of places etc and hope to email them to all the professionals today. Spoke to the charity Young Minds who absolutely agreed that our young lady needs inpatient level 4 for at least 6 mths. She has asked that we quote her directly in dealings with the authorities.

My RA is crap.

TBH I couldnt care less

love

Big BIG hugs Jenni,
Hope you find some comfort that your special girl liked the coat u chose ~ you sound so very thoughtful, so so sorry u feeling down hearted, its difficult to know exactly what to say but hope you always know that we all care very much about how u are feeling xx
i just saw a clip of the Nativity film on tv - it looks really good, definitely looks like a feel good film altho' i'm not too sure of the story but its one we hope to go see soon, when it arrives out here in the sticks xx
Im pretty sure your specialness is greatly appreciated in some ways by your little lady even if not visible.... i know it must be so very hard but you are doing the very best that anyone can do, please don't forget to think of yourself, take care xx
Wishing for a peaceful, relaxing evening for you and your loved ones xxx
Love Liz xxxxx

Hoping they all enjoyed the film - it will be good for Michael and Gems to spend some time togther.
Sorry the RA is crap - stress levels must be at an all time high.
Much love to you all - will ring tomorrow

Dear Jenni,

I am so glad that Gemma and Michael went to the cinema together. It is impossible to keep any sense of normality with all the complications in your life at present so it is even more special. Gemma must be so pleased to get her new coat and will know how much you love and care for her. There are times, as you well know, when that is just not enough and special/ specialised support is necessary. I pray to goodness that this happens soon.
RA will be having a lovely time with out you being able to control it at the moment. Just illustrates the way things are in your life but only at the present time. I am sure that help will come your way soon and bring with it some peace, understanding and acceptance that things can and will get better if the right approach and support are given now.

Love ,

Eleanor x
