My son has just transitioned to adults....and my goodness I want to come back to childrens services already !!! After being there so long people got to know us...and they knew if I rang them we were in trouble as I never called about trivial matters. Id get a call the same day which was so reassuring.....and now I have to start all over again with new people who don't know us....its exhausting but I'm sure we'll get there.
Big shout out to Gemma who has been fabulous !! She looked after us and was always there when I needed help/advice. She also organised a 'transition' period with the adult epilepsy nurse before handover....it has been an enormous(!) help. My son is very complex and a handover was very much needed....the adult nurse got to know us whilst Gemma was still on board...so everyone got gently introduced which I'm sure helped them....it certainly did for me. So thank you Gemma....for everything you've done...I will miss you terribly :(
