I’ve been trying hard to remember the order in which everything happened during that first year of Ellie’s illness. So much went on that it’s all a bit of a blur to be honest. Well, imagine the joy when I looked through the filing cabinet to find two files (‘Ellie Medical’ & ‘Ellie Food’) crammed full of paperwork including a typed up food diary and ‘Sequence of Events’ for the first year! Yay!
I’d genuinely forgotten all of the symptoms and pain Ellie had gone through and I’m so pleased that I documented it all. I’d done this so I could confidently talk through what was happening with any consultants we saw. You know what it’s like – you’re face to face with the Doc and everything goes out of your head… until you’re on your way home!
So, here I attach a photo of the first ‘Sequence of Events’ and the food diary. I hope you can read it!
Until next time… love & hugs ❤

So, a few years ago I started a blog... mainly about everyday things... usually to do with Austism (Aspergers) and having a Tween with it. Then I had a four year break while I ran a business, then closed a business! With this new found headspace, I'm back! The blog has a new name and we've all moved on four years, but other than that, you will find much the same!
Along with running, I blog as a form of therapy, and if I can help anyone out there, then all good. I'm a mother of a teen and now an adult (how the fcuk did that happen) and let me tell you, it doesn't get easier as they get older... it just gets different!
As I approach 50 (less than two years to go), I give less fcuks about stuff... apart from the ever-growing bag under my right eye, the increasing resemblance I have for my Nan and the lack of tolerance I now seem to have for alcohol which leaves me often questioning my life choices! 🥂🍺🤮
I do hope you will join me for the journey!

Great blog! Similarly I’ve recently been experimenting with eliminating potatoes and other related vegetables (tomatoes, aubergine, peppers). There are some incredible accounts online about the positive effects of eliminating these items from the deadly nightshade family, particularly on children with autism. Have you looked into this?
