Finally an update with amazing news!!

 Wow it’s been a while since blogging about Imogen. It’s also been a very strange 12 months for everyone, thankfully we have all stayed safe and well through these difficult times but so many people have lost loved one, lost jobs and been very poorly. 

One amazing thing to come out of lockdown is Imogens eating. She has really pushed forward with it and it gives me great pleasure to say that on Christmas Day she removed her feeding mickey button. This has been such a big part of her life for the extra calories that she so desperately needed that it was a joyous moment to be able to remove it. It’s only taken 15 and a half years to take in enough calories! But we finally got there. There is always hope and light at the end of the tunnel. 

Stay safe everyone

Well finally going to update and put some pictures on! Its been a while and I am sure Imogen has grown somewhat since. Where to start, Imogen still has her gaz (Gastrostomy), she has an overnight feed to top up her calorie intake as she just eats small amounts during the day. This doesn't faze her and she has no motivation to want to get gaz taken out and eat more. Not for lack of trying though. She will get there, 6 years ago she didn't really have anything orally, now she has a varied taste, Preferring strong tastes to bland. We have been referred to a clinical psychologist, on the waiting list, (7 Months)  hopefully to help with the eating. Will keep you updated.

Imogen started high school last September, she goes to a school about 6 miles away, she loves the independence of going on the bus (the novelty wearing a little in the cold weather) and is really enjoying school. The local school to us is a rather large high school and Imogen's choice of school, albeit further away, is a lot smaller and she fits right in. The school pictures are her last day at junior school and her first day at high school.









 A few pictures below of holidays and various things. Note Imogen's breakfast consisted of black pudding!! Sorry pictures are a bit all over the place, not quite got the hang of it yet.
Kind regards to all, please email lindseyandimogen@aol.com with any feedback or if you just want to contact us. Lindsey

Long time no hear!

Wow it's been nearly 4 years since last post on here. Think I better do an update! Imogen has just turned 11, she is doing really well. She starts high school in September. Overnight she still has a feed through her gastrostomy button but this doesn't bother Imogen it doesn't stop her doing anything she wants to do! Imogen has some lovely friends and she is doing well in school.
I will try I promise and update the blog more in future.
