    It's not official respite, but it's effective respite.

    Both TJ and her brother have been hand picked to be part of a National Children's orchestra residential workshop from the 16th - 19th April. It's fully funded, and the sponsor is paying for a medical specialist to accompany them both on the journey south and throughout their stay.

    Today I'm putting a care plan together with their doses and response profiles etc in so that Ms F can look after them for me. We will discuss their care needs in a meeting on Monday.

    I'll have 3 nights without having to get up and down doing medical procedures. :byay

    The meeting went well. Mrs F has the same level of training that I have, and previously accompanied TJ on an orchestral trip to Sweden.

    The children have been sent a copy of the music they will be playing. It's easy for them. The note that came with it says that they don't expect them to need to practice the music in advance, but would like them to be familiar with it so they can be sectional leaders and mentors for the less experienced and younger children. So proud of them both to be picked for those roles.
