Lovely post that mate! Lots of people didnt know i had a special needs daughter so was grumpy at times at work etc from lack of sleep, worries abiot her health as she has had 5 open heart surgeries so far yet every day she wakes up smiling? Like you say, its a battle but its a battle we are up for as our job is to help and protect! I hope things arent too hard for you guys mate, i`m sure you guys do an amazing job :-)

our lives have got considerably easier over the last couple of years, darcy is in residence at the seashell trust,literally 5 minutes away,it was like having a naughty 2 year old in a 21 year old body, no sleep or proper sleep for years on end, she has violent tendencies and would go after my wife mainly,was hard but she needed the support, she has 2-1 care, she can be a real handful,mainly frustration with communication imo , but if she is grumpy you better watch out,got to the stage where we couldn't trust her with our mums,as she got bigger and stronger she was becoming quite scary , that bit does not portray darcy in a good light, because shes lovely and funny 99% of the time but can turn on a flick of a switch and you better watch out, full on psycho haha

awww bless her mate, like you say though if she is in a residence where people are trained to help and its basically on your doorstep then its a win win? Yeah the lack of sleep is the killer isnt it? My daughter Sofia gets a bit upset when we cant understand her but shes learnt to write it down or draw a picture for us as well?

Amazing news mate and i think what you are doing is truly special. My daughter has down syndrome and a serious heart condition etc but goes into main stream primary school with a one to one support carer and we would be lost without him seriously! she currently has gone to nearly dying when born to little miss sassy like this:

Well that's brightened up - a dreary first day back at work after two weeks off - Monday afternoon!
What a tonic - cheers Blue and love to you all.
