Post match roundup

This indecision's got me climbing up the walls
I've been cheating gravity and waiting on the falls
How did this come over me, I thought I was above it all
Our hopes gone up in smoke, swallow your crown

Give me some rope I'm coming loose, I'm hanging on you
Give me some rope I'm coming loose, I'm pulling for you now
Give me some rope I'm coming, out of my head, into the clear
When you go I come loose

These premonitions got me crying up a storm
Leave your condition, this position does no harm

Give me some rope I'm coming loose, I'm hanging on you
Give me some rope I'm coming loose, I'm pulling for you now
Give me some rope I'm coming, out of my head, into the clear
When you go I come loose

Its been decreed by the Paediatrician that Mr H has mild autism.

I've been fighting for this for 6 years, you would think that I would be happy. In reality, I'm shattered. I guess I had hoped that it would be something that could be looked after, managed and improved.

I WILL not let this affect him. Any issue I have with this is my issue and mine alone. Its not a death sentence, but rather a change in direction.

He will be worth this. The fight isn't over, its barely begun..... Batter up.

  3. Elle, you are one of the most patient, loving and innovative mothers that I know. As hard as I can only imagine this must feel for you right now, I know that Hayden couldn't ask for a better family to have in his corner.

Hugs to u guys and if u need to chat I know exactly what u r going through! xxxx

  6. Elle, I'm sorry that the breath has been knocked out of you, but everyone is right in saying that you're just the person to be asked to step up and manage this. Hayden is a very fortunate little boy to have a mom like you in his corner, cheering him on and supporting him even when things look dark and daunting.

    Lots of hugs and love to you all.
