“I had four nights of unbroken sleep”

Hi Viv.

As I explained on Saturday, C is making progress.

When we first started doing the exercises within the first week I had four nights of unbroken sleep,which has never happened in 11 years. This bit has slid a little and she has started waking again. But she isn’t as anxious when she does wake and will sometimes go back down with out any bother.

Last week she went to the local park on her own which is a huge milestone for her. She never goes out alone she is quite fearful of something happening to her. Although I talked with her on her mobile she was still out on her own. She has also started to be a bit more talkative to adults just a little bit if I am there and prompt her. I feel as though these are huge mile stones for her to accomplish in such a short time of doing the activities.

I was quite concerned that I would struggle to get her to do the exercises on a daily basis but she is quite happy and finds them fun.

To find out the whole story Look at page 23 of the EVALUATION OF IMPACT REPORT – NAS FURNESS

YEARS LATER I RECEIVED THIS UPDATE.

Hope you are well, Just thought I would take the opportunity of updating you on Melissa. She is 16 now and has left school and has now had her first day at 6th Form.

She achieved great results in her GCSE

A* Physics
A Maths
A Biology
A history
B Chemistry
A RE
English Lit B
English Lang C
Merit in ICT
Merit in Art

Think I have missed a couple off the list but she did realy well, considering that she does not revise.

Anyway she taking Physics, Maths, Biology and History A Levels so she has her work cut out over the next couple of years. She still does not know what she wants to do in the future so we are just taking one step at a time.

She still struggles with some things but she is more comfortable in her own skin now, she is starting to step out in the world a bit more.

We don’t think we would have got this far if it wasn’t for Brain Child. Both Melissa and myself felt it was a turning point.

Anyway just thought I would let you know we are doing well. Melissa says “HI”.

regards

Jen
