Charlie's 1st visit to see her classmates was a resounding success! She may be 7 months late to the school party but there's no doubt she'll make up for all the fun missed in no time! 😍😭 #receptionclass #newfriends #thankyouRMCH

@KurteL10 As a parent to a medically complex child we absolutely don't mind waiting, as we've been the priority too many times to not understand the significance of actually being able to wait for a review or treatment etc, and being bloody thankful for it.

@BBCBreakfast @BBCBreakfast ALL children going back to school in September? Apart from many of those that need emergency AGPs throughout the day, but they never seem to count.
Central gov need to give schools more advice regarding this!

@Baddiel Daily bladder wash outs w/antibiotics... Baby used to have then until she got a bladder stoma/vesicostomy 👌🏻hope he's UTI free ASAP! Superpubic catheters could be worth looking into too.

Turned 1.5 years old yesterday so I celebrated by showing off my big girl skills in a trolley! 🕺🏻👧🏼

Also the parents discovered I could actually sit unaided at the weekend 👌🏻
Should have seen Dad's face... thought he was going to cry like a little baby!! 😂

[Charlie Bear @BecciandCharlie]

Look at me! 😍
Thank you for making me better, & believing in me, because I'm now home & mobile in my baby wheelchair...
