Better now

Laura seems fine now. She hasn't had any visible signs of illness but I think she had a sore throat as she was reluctant to swallow at the weekend. A few doses of nurofen seemed to help and she was a little subdued for a day or two but is OK now.

The weather has cooled a bit now which is probably a good thing for Laura but I do prefer the warm sunny weather!

I can't believe it's only a week until we go away! There is so much to do just to go away for a week with Laura. I've had to get letters from our dietician and neurology nurse to cover the bottles of liquid feeds and the liquid meds as of course there are restrictions on liquids on board flights. I've rung the special needs department at Thomson twice and now have to ring a third time to get extra baggage allowance for Laura's feeds. We may not need it but it's best to have it just in case.

Laura's at Glenfield for respite this weekend. It's a shame it's come so soon after Rainbows but good timing for our trip next week. I can get everything packed over the weekend as I'll be working Monday and Tuesday and then we go on Wednesday. Laura probably won't be too happy at being away from home again as she is very attached to her DVDs at the moment and has to share the TV at Glenfield unless she goes into her bedroom. At Glenfield they do tend to take them out a lot at the weekend and are sure to this weekend as they have a parents' gardening session planned. I will try and pop over with some plants on Friday or Saturday. It's good for Laura to get out and about but she probably won't see it that way!!
