      Hello just wanted to send you some lovely late spring flowers before the heat gets them all. How are you all? Haven't seen you around in a while and hope that you and the family are well. So many people have the flu it seems. Our flu season is almost over so we will probably get hit next winter again - for now we just stay watchful. Will catch up with you soon. Love and hugs, Marg

    • Close Rape

      Raped at 14 years old by first 'boyfriend' forced himself on me when I repeatedly said 'no' and verbally abused me as the rape took place. I am sorry if this shocks some but it is not here to shock it is a part of the tapestry that I am, I SURVIVED with God's love

    • Open Autism / Autism Spectrum

      Our eldest daughter has low functioning autism if you do not understand what autism is it is a range of emotional and physical delays that was suspected to be brought on by vaccines containing mercury.

      Treatments

      Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
      Use of fish oils is helping, Ellysia is on special medicine for picky eating basically strawberry flavoured oil. Ellie had speech therapy but has since improved that she no longer needs it she gets intensive therapies from her teachers in her special needs class, recently she is starting to come out of herself, when she was small if we showed her a photo of herself we would ask her ''who is this Ellysia?'' and she would say ''you'' now she says ''me'' well done Ellie!
      Music Therapy Working / Worked
      Working, my daughter really enjoys this and I would say is quite musically gifted, some noises she does not like so we have to be careful but as a general rule she loves anything music related.
      Patience Working / Worked
      Always patience
      Pets Working / Worked
      My daughter loves her cats I will sometimes talk to her as though her cat is talking to her especially if there is challenging behaviour this seems to help. Sadly her cat TC was knocked down only recently, it was quite difficult for her to understand we had to say TC was very sore. Her brother Garfield is still with us and is taking over TC's role
