Getting Started

I still having nothing deep or meaningful to say but thought I better try and do more!
Life with the Wotherspoons continues to be eventful with things coming from all directions both good and bad.
Ellen can be very unpredictable thes days with her irritibility levels sky high;equally she can be so loving and very helpful around the house. She loves being in the kitchen and doing the cooking; she is getting very good at it too. She is coming to the end of her penultimate yeat at school so the dreaded transition to adult services is under way--where did the time go? It seems just yesterday I was sitting in a room with about 12 other people who were about to decide whether I could become mum to this little girl! I remember well the first time I met her too with her big blue eyes and fair hair; she was 11 months old and could barely sit. Now keeping her still is hard! She loves her archery and the athletics club.

Hope is growing up fast too and will be a teeanager in a few weeks; she is a far cry from the tiny 2 year old that came into our family. She continues to have significant health needs with some things improving and some things deteriorating. I keep thinking we have come to the end of surgery but something else always seems to pop up. Last year she had hip surgery in Feb. and spinal surgery in Aug. She coped with both ops well but both time got an ileus so had extened stays in hospital. Now I have just been told her baclofen pump needs replacing as the batteries are about to run out! Will it ever end? Mind you keeps us occupied.

I must not forget the older 2 children and the grand kids but that is for another time (I may even have worked out how to upload pics!).

Following other peoples blogs has been a fantastic experience for me. I have recently decided to try and do 60 new things before Octber 2012 so this is the first!
 I may not have wise words to publish, I may not have an interesting life but I will have a chronicle!
This is the first posting and not being very tech savvy it may take a while to get a decent blog going; however I am doing this for me.
