whats happening

so sorry to everyone that I am so rubbish with computers and updating this blog. I have had a few friends of Liam telling me off.
Again sorry.

We had such a time in America!
for starters we have never been so tired. It was a really big journey and we had so many meetings to go to, some very hard to deal with. It was very emotional.

We arrived and said to eachother never again! But on the third day we met the potentials foundation which is the charity for primordials and their families in USA. After just a short time we said we would come every year if it were possible.
Straight away Liam clicked with the others, you would never of guessed they did now know eachother. To see the way they played and for us to not be worrying about Liam being knocked over or the children being rough with him, picking him up and patting him on the head, which are things that happen all the time at home and he is satrting to get qutie mad about.
Liam had such a great time and Martin made some good friends. some he has kept in touch with.

For me and Robbie some of it was hard work. One meeting I'm afraid I had to leave for a while as we were being informed about new information about a anurisms and one of the mums spoke about the child she lost, I just brust into tears.
There were experts there that gave us so much infromation and lots of tips to make Liams life alot easier. We learnt so much and not just form the experts, from the parents as well. they were so great, I could talk to them forever. all at the convention were so welcoming and we were shocked to meet so many that had already heard of Liam but to talk with the parents from potentials, it was so lovely and to talk to people that understood what we were saying and had such simular stories makes such a difference. The support was overwhelming. They made us feel like family.
I will try and get some photos of the trip put up.
thankyou again to everyone that has suported us and made our trip possible.

You can see some of our trip on BBC1 Wednesday 24th at 7.30pm on Inside Out. this is only for people in Nottingham but for others you will be able to get it on the net(iplayer)


Also we will be on Victoria Park(oppersite Victoria Leisure Centre) in Sneinton, Nottingham. There will be a fun day there 10am-4pm. It will have stalls, health information and advise, a bouncy castle, facepainting and other childrens activities. The day is to raise funds for the Windmill Pratice childrens room and for Liam.
It would be great to see lots there

not long to go!

I can not believe we are going to Detoit next week!
i can not believe we are going at all!
thankyou to everyone that has helped us
we are really excited but also have some worries about the journey and some of what we are going to learn
Liam is such a joy and a blessing but he comes with a lot of worries and heartache
Wish us luck!

liam off school again

yes he is off again!

He has been having a few bad nights again, his sleeping is all over the place and he is so tired in the morning that we had to let him sleep in

he does seem a lot better today so we hope he will go back tomorrow

those that know us know that he has quite a bit of time off but luckerly it is always just the usual little bugs that young ones get although he does get them more often. the school is very understanding

he has his ups and downs

well my life has just turned a little serreal. I am sitting on sofas talking to people I normally only see on tele.

thursday afternoon I had a call asking us to go to London to go on breakfast tv so off we went on the train and stayed at a hotel.
6.30 the next day and we were taken to the bbc. We went on tele, were then taken upstairs and went on the radio, were taken back down again to which we went on tele again and then back home on the train.
While waiting for the train I get a call asking us to go on bbc east midlands. Marie has been so lovely I couldn't say no to her so later that day were there sat on a sofa talking to Domanic and Ann. Liam really loved Ann and kept her talking for ages.

Loads of thanks to Marie and Darren(the camera man), you have both been lovely.

Saturday we had a great day!

Liam broke a world record. Well, he was one of 1119 people that broke a record. It was for the most Robin Hoods in one place and took place at Nottingham Castle. We had had problems in the morning so were running late but we just made it, they slapped a number on his back rushed us on the green and then they started the countdown. So Liam must have been the 1,119th Robin Hood. He really enjoyed it, especially the Robin Hood Squirrel who took time to say hi to the kids.
