Another update....

Well after decreasing Chris's meds, we are increasing them again, lets just say he got into a bit of trouble at school, why a combination of things I think, 1 being he has this whole new world open to him (school) and he is trying to see where he fits in, 2: the decrease in meds I feel had a part of it as well. Anyway things are improving again.

Chris is loving school which is so nice to see and it is lovely to see him smiling and ready and rearing to go when the taxi arrives to pick him up.

Some more great news is that Attitude TV (Channel 1 Sunday 9.30am) is coming to do a story on Chris on the 20th March, I am pleased about that as they are not going to focus on just the Tourettes or OCD but they are going to focus on him as a person with mental and neurological issues. If it makes 1 person understand kids like Chris better then it will all be worth it and also knowing what sort of stories they do it can only be positive. Chris is excited about this too.

Chris did the school special olympics swimming the other week, his relay team got a first and he got a second for 25m freestyle and third in Breastroke, which was meant to be Backstroke but somewhere along the line they got it muddled but was proud of him for doing it anyway.

High and Complex Needs well this is still ongoing, the application is going ahead again so cross fingers we will hear in the next month or so.

We also have Youth Horizons Trust wrap around program in our home, right now we are working on some of the OCD stuff... she (Jan) has only just begun and I can see it will be a long and slow process but just maybe we can work trough this OCD stuff.

So yes quite a bit has happened but right now Chris is doing ok and he is happy and I couldn't be happier right now with that..... back in a couple of weeks to let you know how the filming goes.... anyone know how to lose 30 kilos in 2 weeks lol.....

Have fun and take care all catch you soon :-)
