The appeal is in full swing. Yesterday I managed to upload all the documents onto a folder on my laptop in order to send off to the appeal court. There were 170 pages from 23 sources and evidence that went back to 2017!! It was hard work getting it all together! But I managed it. And all was going swimmingly…. but alas nothing is ever simple in this journey. Unfortunately the documents are too large to send across via email so it looks like I am going to have to photocopy each and everyone of them. And unfortunately for me, I have very little ink left, and now I have no phone.

My charging port for my mobile has broken, and just about everything that I need to access is on the phone. It’s very frustrating. I did not see this coming and now I will be without a phone for around 4/5 days and possibly if we run out of ink it may take just as long for the ink to be delivered as it’s now Easter Bank Holiday Weekend! Honestly, could not have come at a worst time. In the middle of coronavirus as well where there are just so many extra restrictions to daily life.

I’ve seen some really positive changes in Charlie, more eager to read, learn and play outdoors at the moment. A concerning point, which I think may be anxiety is he has literally bitten off all of the skin around the thumb that he sucks. This can naturally lead to an infection, which I am very worried about as Charlie has a fear of the hospital. After a couple of really traumatic visits, which I will do another blog post on.

It will be nice to get this appeal done and out the way and I am absolutely kicking myself that I did not really understand the issues that may be part of it. Of course, I will update you further as I go, and who knows without a phone I might even get a bit more free time to finish the website and blog a bit more which will definitely be ideal so I can get the help and support information and awareness out there.

As always, stay safe
