We’ve had a very challenging week this week as Max’s high school have excluded him due to ‘safeguarding’ processes around his scoliosis bracing therapy. I was advised that if I put it back on him I would be... https://t.co/PQmJT97nit
A typical 11 hour stint taking Max to clinic for his Scoliosis brace review today. This is the first time he has had his scan without a complete meltdown because of the noise. Chocolate buttons and cheeseburgers work wonders!

This is actually the first time I have ever seen Max do this. Age 11. He’s mixing the correct primary colours to make tertiary ones, and painting inside the lines! Whooot!👏👏👏👏

Another trip to London for Max to check and update his #gensingen brace. Dad took him this time. It’s like a lads trip. Max looks forward to his train journey with Dad, books, and toys he’s gets to see again.... https://t.co/uYb1IP4KYa
Max is off on his first high school residential! He’s so excited. This is his first time away from family. Big thanks to Paul Windram for making it possible by being Max’s buddy for the duration. Let’s see if he stays to enjoy the whole three days... https://t.co/AFLVjCvNYK
Max had a blast on his lads tour in Wales. I don’t think they got outside of the camper van much as it was raining but that’s not the point, he was on a jolly with his favourite people, and that’s what counts. 😍💙💙💙

We bought Max his high school uniform. I think it may require tayloring slightly. Hos spine is getting straighter but he’s not that tall! 🤔😂 He’s sooooooo excited! 😆

Mighty Max moonwalking and running! (kinda)
His NHS orthotics were a hindrance and I’m befuddled that he’s been discharged from clinics whilst my focus had been on his scoliosis.
Look what can happen when you... https://t.co/20OieLcWLg
