A good week but sad news today

Laura had a good week at Rainbows and at school. No more seizures.

On Thursday Laura's school visisted Loughborough Fair. Laura didn't want to go on any rides, school said, which was a shame as she usually loves them, although she can be reluctant at first. Not sure what she made of Disney on Ice, Finding Nemo but no doubt she enjoyed the coach trip at least. They were very late getting back, almost 6pm rather than the 5pm that they'd expected!

Another one of the children on our Dravet forum has passed away this morning. I've had a candle lit all day in memory of her.

I had a hospital review yesterday and the surgeon has advised me not to return to work until after Christmas. I think it's because I had a bad infection and didn't heal as early as I should have done. It's frustrating but I have to take his advice as he knows more than I do and I'd hate to have a relapse. I emailed the Head and asked if I'd be able to go in for a few hours but she said that I wouldn't if I am signed off, which is a shame as I had hoped to do this.

Mick and I enjoyed our break in Norfolk this week. It was the first break we'd had since June and although it was only 2 nights, it was nice to have a change of scene and get some fresh air. I bought a decent pair of binoculars and did some bird watching at Titchwell Marsh whilst Mick did some longer walks with the dogs. I did manage a couple of 1-2 hour walks but that was my limit and I did feel very tired at the end of each day.
