But today, I'm feeling pretty good about things. We had a meeting with Elliott's new childcare centre this week that went really well and they are happy to accommodate to anything he needs, but the best thing is that they really feel it's important for Elliott and for the other kids to have someone like him in their group because it's so beneficial for everybody and i couldn't agree more. I love knowing that Elliott's cousins, our friends kids and school kids (and parents!) are going to grow up knowing Elliott and knowing that he wants the same as them, and that, is to be happy and healthy. The kids (and maybe some parents) may not know it now, but My Littles will teach them stuff that no book or teacher could properly teach them, and that's empathy, tolerance, understanding and an appreciation that we're all humans that we all need love and happiness bust most of all, that it's absolutely okay, even cool, to be different. Differences are what makes us all interesting after all.
We spent the most part of last week in the hospital. Littles picked up his first ear infection, pretty good for a (almost) 4 year old! He also had another 'unknown' virus which brought back the rash and the high temps of 40.1. He would have been home earlier but his Neurologist didn't want us leaving without having knowledge of CPR and 'bagging' but the appropriate nurses weren't available so we weren't allowed to leave and luckily so because his temp was through the roof and he had another tonic clonic seizure in the early hours. He managed okay in hospital, he even managed to sleep through the overnight hourly treatments (a.k.a. tourture) of the kids in our neighbouring beds... although i wasn't so lucky! Even though i was so sleep deprived it really helped to have nurses that i could rely on, they were fantastic and were on top of everything, It was only once that i had to ask (a.k.a. beg) for Panadol and that was to a new nurse who had only just begun her shift. So a big thank you shout out to Felicity, Amanda and Franchesca...even though your not reading this, i'm sending you good vibes anyway!
Besides all the Elliott business, I've been busy with lots of things.... editing on The Boldness.... next Wednesday @ 6pm on 3cr am, meeting up with the girls and getting inspired and motivated to create! We have a busy few months coming up (when isn't it busy really??!!) but i'm really hoping we do manage to get our "crafternoons" up and running, it would be good for all involved i think.
I'm also feeling really appreciative that i have such awesome, loving and inspirational friends and i fall more in love and in awe of each of them every day, i'm a very lucky girl.
Hmmm yis, so i think that's about it for now. Hmmm perhaps i'll post a song because i've missed a few 'Saturday Songs'...ah yes, one of the greats comes to mind today....

You are just the best mum any little boy could ever hope for and I feel lucky that my family and I get to have Elliott in our life for those exact reasons you mentioned (we're pretty stoked that you come as part of the deal too) Love ya xxx
Glad to hear you are home from hospital. The childcare centre sounds perfect!
We are coming to RCH Oct 28th. Are you and Elliott up for a catch up??
