We are trying to keep as much normality as possible until school starts, I personally wouldn't be enrolling in new things so soon before school.

We don't get carers for Brendan. Because he was prem his assessments are all based on corrected age, so even though he's delayed he's not *that* delayed when his age is corrected. (overall he fell just above the cut-off for a GDD diagnosis, if they had used his birth age he would have been diagnosed GDD then) It's so stupid and it really pees me off. We were told they wouldn't correct past 2, yet he's nearly 4. The whole prem crap is really starting to get to me now. I'm sick of hearing it, why should he be treated differently now. Sorry still angry with how things have gone down over the past few months.... good news is that if the school can't get funding for an aide they will fund one themselves for the first term. Being kindy he will only go for 2hr45min 4 times a week, so they shouldn't have too many issues *touch wood* once he has transitioned into it. We will be working on a plan for Brendan before school starts.

My main thing right now is getting Brendan in to an ENT to get his grommets done (and probably adenoids and tonsils too) he's been waiting 12 months already and is unlikely to be seen before June next year, despite having a mild/moderate hearing loss ion his left ear and a moderate/severe loss in the right, his overall permanent hearing loss is between 3-5% The system stinks all round and we simply cannot afford to go private

Best go to bed I suppose, have to try and get into the spirit of Christmas!!
