I am actually finding writing this journal extremely therapeutic. Well, better out than in as Shrek would say ! Today has been a good day. Emily has been at respite and Adrian is working today so Harry and I have had some lovely one on one quality time.
I had to change my phone today so Harry came with me. He was happy enough on the promise that once the job was done, we would go looking at some things for him, and what a lovely surprise. It actually took half an hour in all to get the phone situation sorted and Harry happily amused himself, without being breaking anything in the shop, the whole time. He was calm and enjoyed watching all the people wearing their poppies through the shop window and didnt wander out of the shop. Quite the achievement.
Watching Harry interact today in all the things we did was just lovely. He seemed fairly calm throughout most of the day. Now if only we could get school to see this ! School reports all this week havent been good so Im hoping for a better week next week.
I got a hug today and the offer of friendship from someone on this site. My first friend on here! It makes all the difference to know that there are other people who just know what your going through and at last I feel a part of something. I dont feel quite so alone in all this anymore.
I know there is a long way to go before we get Harry settled and happy but for the first time since his diagnosis, I am starting to feel a little more positive about things.
