Councilling

-
Yesterday I had my last councilling session. I started this in late summer last year when I was feeling surrounded by an endless tirade of exhausting circumstances both physically and emotionally. Henry was still not sleeping through the night and waking very early, I was negotiating a divorce while trying to emotionally distance myself from my husband and come to terms with what he had done to my idea of family life; I was exhausted from buying and renovating my house, still living under my parents roof and feeling little freedom to carve out my own space for me and my son. It was really my lowest point and every day felt utterly hope-less. Dealing with depression is awful but looking after a baby while going through it is intolerable. I was in contact with Outlook SW, a local councilling service and they begin by asking you a series of questions over the phone, my answers were sad and high in their register of someone who needs help. But my most enlightening question that I had be...

Bronchoscopy

On Monday we took our 12 week old son to the Royal Brompton hospital for his bronchoscopy and pH test and were a very apprehensive. The doctor's had briefly mentioned it in past clinics but no-one had talked to us about it in detail.

There was a bed shortage so we were taken to the pl...

How are you coping with isolation? How are you coping with the threat of illness? How are you coping as a single-parent. My son is 'very high risk' due to Cystic Fibrosis and I have found it challenging to narrow down what this means to us while also nervous to write honestly about this time. Initially I was in blind panic mode. Nobody seemed to be taking this seriously, some children were taken out of school, others weren't, stockpiling was happening, antibac wipes/gel/spray prices skyrocketed, marathons were going ahead while others were closed down. I decided early on to take my son out of school a week before they closed. His condition means his lungs would be seriously affected by any respiratory infection, but the advice from the NHS was to bring him into clinic and continue life as usual. Instead, I kept us at home. I had to work from home. I worked from 5am-7am while he had breakfast and played, we spent the day inside with a trip out for exercise and to get fo...
