Some People Never Cease to Amaze Me!!! Not good.

Well some of you will know that we moved to a bungalow in November, so that it would be easier to care for Amber without stairs etc. Well had we have known what we now know, very very uncompassionate neighbours! we certainly would NOT have moved to the bungalow we are in. Its is staggering how some people with nothing better to do that stalk you from their front window, get themselves in such a tis without actually coming to discuss when they have a problem! what has happened is that they felt they wanted to mark their boundary despite the husband saying that it was give and take with the driveway from day one as we both have to get vehicles onto a busy main road, well all that changed and without discussing it with us, Mrs Next Door Neighbour made life hell for 8 weeks by constantly glaring at me everytime I went in and out of my house, and sometimes this could be as many as ten times a day. Till one day I went round and asked her if she had a problem, which she obviously did. Well she is the type of person that has the cunning ability to transmit without actually listening, and it was clear that conversations would not be reciprocol. They started to put a fence up the middle of the driveway which would mean that we would not be able to access to out property very well, and would definatley struggle to get Amber out of the car, and if we needed an Ambulance this would severely hamper it. Hubbie went round to discuss at the time, and later they didn't go ahead with it. He went round a couple of weeks ago to ask about the situation regarding the already dug holes, and she again went into full transmit mode!! so he walked away as it was clear that she didn't want to listen and in fact accused him of all sorts of threats, which was totally un true, not least the fact that Hubbie hasn't got that kind of thing in him. So we went into writing telling that we were applying for the Disabilities Facilities Grant, and our widened driveway should be sorted by the end of April, well this clearly wasn't enough, because today they have done it. So now we have to spend money, which we can't afford on widening the driveway a tiny amount till the DFG is complete. I am so angry and can't believe what some people are like, we respect they want to define their boundaries but when it is spiting a beautiful little girl with a multitude of problems and her family who have more than enough to worry about then they should really really evaluate what is important in life.

Bram as it turns out does not have CDKL5, but we keep on searching, some other results still need to come in, keep our fingers crossed.

Thank you for your kind comment on my article, obviously it is a home translation, but that is more or less the way it was.

Hope you get as many kind reactions on your article as I have on mine!

Love Sarike, from MF
