Know the feeling Dawa. My so called doctor told the nurses not to clear his air ways when he was born but one disobeyed orders and continued.

We were then told to put him in a home and forget he was born. Pity murder was not legal we would be short a couple of doctors.

My son has as normal a life as possible and I am glad your son has been able to enjoy life as they should be able to.

Many a time when I see someone shy a way from a person being pushed in a wheel chair etc I would love to go up and say "That could be you tomorrow would you like people to shun you like that"

I hope that nobody refuses to assist your son or anyone else's son or daughter in these situations. The same goes for the elderly as they start to loose some of their functions. It is not their fault or is it desired. Often their mind is bright it is just hard for them to do the things they would like or be able to express themselves as they would wish.

I feel you will continue the pleasure as you travel and you will find more and more ways to get those little pleasures of life that are available to us as travelers.


Good luck and Regards
Brian

Yes, getting up on a cold morning. My "home" is a 1991 (converted) Mazda T 3500 bus. I thought quite a lot re. a heater. The following works very well, but must be teated with extreme care. Bought a 2kg bottle of gas and a small screw on heater "element", When in use, it sits on the engine cover and heats up the place quickly, whilst the kettle is on. I NEVER use it unless I am "in the vertical". Never when I am in bed. It is really great early AM on a cold morning. I don't consider it any more of a hazard than the built in, small two burner gas stove. I have had it for two years, and am very aware of the pitfalls of a gas burner in a small area. Used with commonsense, it is a boon when in a c'park where one has to pay for electricity.

Maybe off the topic but, our little granddaughter came down with Encephalitis  at 14 months old we were also told she would never walk and likely to be a vegetable, never gave up, we got her walking and she can now jump and hop on one foot, she is going to big school next year. Her achievements may be small but not to us, she is our inspiration to keep going.smile
