...I love the little video - thanks for sharing it!<br /><br />My God, thoughts about the future. It's terrifying. I try not to think too far ahead but sometimes I think - what if I fall ill and end up in hospital? what if I broke my leg? What then? I genuinely don't know what the answer is so I just ignore it! Not the best way of dealing with it I suppose. <br /><br />When Little H was little-er and I used to think about his future, I was scared to think about how I would lift him into bed when he was 30 and I was 60. I now realise that because of his condition I will be very lucky to be in a position to worry about him when he is 30. Or 20 even. You know what I mean. So I try to not think too far into the future in case it doesn't happen. But - if I'm lucky enough that it does, then I will be totally unprepared it seems. xxxLittle Mama Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02807052833900011141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5005421880877128774.post-70915350886129714202012-02-21T10:49:34.132-08:002012-02-21T10:49:34.132-08:00Sorry, Jazzy. :(

(There, I said it.) Pamela is an adult and she is dependent in on us. However, she continues to make progress in her ability to communicate and her world is growing larger, not more narrow.
