My last day at work today, really getting excited now, not sure if I am going to have time to post again, so...
Just want to say thank you to everybody who has helped me with any info I have wanted over the last few weeks.
As some of you know we have been struggling with coping with the needs of my son, who is Autistic, doesn't eat at all, doesn't walk and says only the odd single word. The support and advice you have given me has been great and something that my family and I appreciate.
I don't think unless you have to deal with it, and there are people on this board that will certainly understand, how hard it is on a daily basis to care for a child with additional needs. We have virtually no support from my family and it's bloody difficult all the time. For example the medical company that supply Daniel's meds and liquid feed have had to ship two crates to the HRH for me, if we don't get them Daniel would be in trouble, this week US Drug Enforcement Agency and Customs have intercepted the crates and taken them apart, it has taken me days to sort that problem out. It's not as easy for us to just book flights and a place to stay..
Virgin have been amazing with their support for us with Dan's needs and have helped us every step of the way with their planning. The Hard Rock have also been great, as far as contacting the Arnold Palmer hospital in Orlando to source medicine for Daniel if so required. Thanks Bruce !
I have never been in more need of a holiday than I am at the moment, so thanks!!!!!
