Telly

So, MJ started high school yesterday. I was a nervous wreck. I was also very proud of her achievement. A day we thought might never happen, but it has and I was so excited!!!

MJ is thoroughly enjoying school. It takes a lot out of her though. All the stimulation she has had over the last few days tires her out. As a result her head hurts and she doesn't sleep too well. But, I think by the end of the week, when all her mates are used to her being back at school, and things are calmer, she may fair a lot better.

The kids got told off today by a teacher who happend to be in the Base during break. One of MJ's friends told the teacher that they all had permission from Mrs Telgar to visit MJ. Needless to say that the teacher was not happy so I think visitors will be restricted now. I hope not, but hey, there always has to be one sour lemon.

All I can say is, guys, don't let her put you off. Your visits to MJ are a huge part of her rehabiltation and you are really helping her feel normal again. If she ever takes MJ for a lesson, maybe MJ should pretend to go to sleep like she used to do in the hospital, then the teacher can have something real to moan about...ha ha ha! I really shouldn't be so naughty should I???

So, MJ has been in the paper again and finally on Midlands today. I think the piece was filmed about a month ago, but at least others can look at her website now and maybe, just maybe, we'll get the council kick started to get those crossings in place before Cortni gets to year one. If nothing else, perhaps other parents who are facing a similar situation will take a look at MJ's webiste and have hope and inspiration to not give up.

I was giving Cortni a bath today, and she was feeling a little jealous of MJ being on the telly. She said "I wish I was McAyla and she was me". My heart broke. I told Cort not to think like that as she will do something truely amazing one day and she too will be on the telly. I think I have managed to restore Cortni's confidence and I hope she realises that she is special to me just as much as MJ and Ashley.

I'm shattered! Today, I feel like I have been through every emotion on the planet! In truth, I feel like that most days. Anyway, I guess I should try get some sleep.
