Caitlin's Story: September 2010
http://caitlinscpjourney.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 27, 2010. Busy, Busy, Busy! Holidays are supposed to be a time of excitement and relaxing. We have the first bit under control, the excitement is building in our household until we are all nearly at bursting point! Our family arrive from the eastern states on Wednesday. My house will be transformed into the party house as we attempt to squeeze 18 of us into it. The shower roster might be an interesting one, either that or we all just put lots of extra deodorant on. I guess I will have a...

Caitlin's Story
http://caitlinscpjourney.blogspot.com/2012/10/so-ive-just-finished-reading-what-i.html
Saturday, October 13, 2012. So, I've just finished reading what I wrote yesterday and it got me to thinking, I've talked about how hard it was and have neglected to talk about the good times, is that because when I look back all I see is a negative experience - MOST DEFINATELY NOT! And it also made me wonder, have things got easier over the years - yes and no. With all this in mind, we have been able to achieve some pretty exciting things with Caitlin. Another memory is getting Caitlin out in the boat fi...

Richard & ABR: Communication
http://richardabr.blogspot.com/2010/04/communication.html
Friday, April 30, 2010. Sometimes one wonders how much these brain injured children understand of the world. of course, their world is a very 'closed' one, as in Richard's case, it is his family, home and school. He hardly ventures out as Mum is 'too busy' to bring him out to 'the world'. So to a ceratin extent, he does understand but the challenge is to get him to communicate his understanding, his wants and needs to us caregivers. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Richard & ABR: February 2011
http://richardabr.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 4, 2011. GONG XI FA CAI. Didn't realise it's been a good 6 months since our last post! Lots has happened.that's why the incommunicado. To fast forward, Richard starts daily school this year. He was attending mon/ wed/ fri for the last 2 years. We were worried he'd not be used to the rigour of daily school but somehow seems to be able to wake up in the mornings and actually stay awake during school hours! The first 2 weeks were tiring for him and he'd take an afternoon nap. Anyway, may we...

http://caitlinscpjourney.blogspot.com/2012/10/but-then-i-would-take-deep-breathe-have.html
Thursday, October 11, 2012. But then I would take a deep breathe, have a cry and remember that I am just "stuck in a moment". I would think of Ali's Mum and the loss and devastation she was feeling and how she would give anything and everything to be able to hold her baby one more time and I would let " that moment " pass. Eventually I asked for help. I took her to PMH and felt a sense of relief straight away. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Http:/ abrbloggingcampaign.wordpress.com. Bio rehab for kids.

Caitlin's Story: March 2011
http://caitlinscpjourney.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 23, 2011. Yesterday was a complete nightmare! I realised things weren't quite going to my plan when the Dr came and asked if she could shut our door because Tom was screaming so much and she couldn't hear the Dr's from PMH on the phone. I asked her if she was talking to them about Tom and she said she was! This was not the news I was after. Anyway, to cut a long story short, he didn't have an inverted bowel, he doesn't have a hernia, he has a severe case of lower abdominal gastro and the...

Our inclusive home: Down the garden path
http://inclusivehome.blogspot.com/2010/01/down-garden-path.html
Creating a an ordinary, inclusive, accessible family home in suburban Brisbane. Can't be that hard - can it . Down the garden path. There's something beguiling about a shady path, wherever it leads to. We love paths. We're not keen on steps. Our path in 2010 is leading to our new home. It's currently an old timber house on one side of a big block of land. Upstairs is the living accommodation; downstairs used to be stables. We've got big plans for those stables .

Richard & ABR: January 2010
http://richardabr.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 24, 2010. After 2 n half weeks of not doing the ABR MANUAL excercises, Richard's joints seemed stiff. Although the machine was used regularly 12 - 15 hours/ day it wasn't enough to 'stimulate' the whole body and loosen up the joints. Applying the manual excercises takes time and patience, (besides skill), which none of us have at home except for Marita! So when she went on Home leave, we didnt do any of it! Richard is just so happy to have Marita back! Well, so are we! Richard's caregiver...
