Achievements in September

Well all too soon the summer holidays are over and its back to school, work and the normal day to day routine. However Imogen has some new found confidence this week as she has done two things that she would never have attempted a couple of months ago.
First she has learnt to swim and last week at her swimming lesson she swam across the width a couple of times with no floats, Karen gave her a certificate and badge. Imogen was made up and really pleased with herself.

Secondly she has ridden her bike at weekend with no stabilisers! Last time we tried to take them off she wouldnt even get on the bike never mind try, so a huge step forward. Just need to keep taking her out and practising now as she still very wobbly. I will put some pics on here of her big achievements when I have taken some in the next week or so.

Over the summer some days she has been doing a little better with her eating, and she drinks her water in the day now instead of down Gaz( Imogens Gastrostomy, she has an over night feed) which is loads better. She also has been trying loads of different of new foods which is progress. We have been giving her 5p's for doing well with her eating so at least she gets rewarded for doing well.
Unfortunately now she is back at school, she no longer has support with her eating so she does not eat much pack lunch. However on the positive side it means she has progressed to not get support.

Note from the Baz -
as Linz has done the blog, I thought I should chip in with a gag.
Ahem, "and finally"..
Last night I lay in bed looking up at the stars in the sky and I thought to myself, ... where the hells my ceiling gone.
