Well it has been a while since I last posted and decided it is time to start again.
Chacha (as Isa calls her and now as she refers to herself) is 14 which means we are starting to have a look at her transition into adulthood and more importantly adult services. It is a very scary prospect and I feel totally un-prepared largely down to me.
We have had an inital meeting with the school and connex to establish a "Here we are and this is what we want". It went well in many respects but there is still much to be discussed and still so much unclear. At the very least we were able to make the point that for Chacha to stay with either of us is not an option.
Now this seems very cruel on the surface of it but in the long run we feel it would do so much good to get out and her own (well with a lot of support). The last thing we want is us in our 70's trying to look after her in her 40's. Seems really unfair to her.
So big things are a foot I will keeo you posted.
