Our severley disabled (cerebal palsy etc, etc, etc) 20 year old son whom we have given up much for (and we wouldn't change that) will be moving into his own fully modified home early next year with 24/7 carers. Though it is a massive change fort us all we will still see him regularly. For years we have been scared about his future should anything happen to us. We are getting older to keep doing the lifting etc that is required is becoming difficult. All that is available for him would be to end up in an old peoples home as nothing else really exists for the majority of people as disabled as he is. So this has come completely out of left field and so we have some emotional adjustments to go through but it is simply wonderful news for him and for us. So there ya go folks a good news story.
