My daughter (2 years 9 months) had emergency surgery a week ago to remove a blood clot from her spine. Her mobility has been reduced quite significantly and we are not sure how long she will be in hospital. However, we do know that she will need extensive physiotherapy over the coming weeks and months and that it will be a long road to recovery so we will need some help with our other 3 children. Their ages are 7.5, 5.5 and 7 months. The two older two are at school and we may be able to get them into the breakfast club and after school club at school so the baby is our main priority at the moment. We are looking into different possibilities - a nanny to look after all 3 and do all the school runs etc/ a childminder for just the baby/ a childminder to do drop offs and pick ups plus baby in the day/further down the line when our daughter is back at home possibly some 'mothers help' to free me up for some one to one physio etc. with my daughter. I would welcome any advice/recommendations etc? Thanks for reading.
Good grief. Sorry to hear of this. I have no great ideas but wanted to bump the post in the hope that someone helpful would come along. Again, sorry you have so much to cope with and hope your daughter's recovery proceeds well.

Do you have a health visitor ( do they still exist) she (he) may be able to point you in some direction which can

offer suggestions.

Some time ago before the massive cuts, a family aide could be provided by social services in some situations.

Highly unlikely now.

I am so sorry you are all going through this. How terrifying, and then to have to juggle the rest of your family while caring for your daughter in hospital. You must feel stretched in all directions.


No personal contacts I am afraid but I noticed this ad:

    • The top front tooth has popped out.  Attempted to fix myself with repair kit bought from Boots, unfortunately it didn’t last long.  Tooth has popped out again.  Unable to get to dentist as housebound but family member can drop off.  I tried dental practice I found online, which is near Goose Green, but the number is disconnected.   The new dental practice in FH (where Barclays used to be) said it’s not something they do.  Seen a mobile dental practice where a technician comes to your home and does the repair but I’m worried about the cost. Any suggestions please? Thank you 
    • So its OK for Starmer to earn £74K/annum by renting out a property, cat calling the kettle black....... Their gravy train trundles on. When the Southport story that involves Starmer finally comes out, he's going to be gone, plus that and the local elections in May 2025 when Liebour will get a drumming. Even his own MP's have had enough of the mess they've made of things in the first three months of being in power. They had fourteen years to plan for this, what a mess they've created so quickly, couldn't plan there way out of a paper bag.   Suggest you do the sums, the minimum wage won't  be so minimum when it is introduced, that and the increase in employers national insurance contributions is why so many employers are talking about reducing their cohort of employees and closing shops and businesses.  Businesses don't run at a loss and when they do they close, its the only option for them, you can only absorb a loss for so long before brining the shutters down and closing the doors. Some people are so blinkered they think the sun shines out of the three stooges, you need to wake up soon. Because wait till there are food shortages, no bread or fresh vegetables, nor meat in the shops, bare shelves in the supermarkets because the farmers will make it happen, plus prices spiralling out of control as a result of a supply and demand market. Every ones going to get on the gravy train and put their prices up, It happened before during lockdown, nothing to stop it happening again. You don't shoot the hand that feeds you. Then you'll see people getting angry and an uprising start to happen.  Hungry people become angry people very quickly. 
    • Eh? Straight ahead of what?  If you turn left at Goose Green, as you also posted above, you end up at the library. Then the Grove. Then, unless you turn right at the South Circular, you end up at Forest Hill!
    • yes I’ve spotted this too — it’s near me and I’m very intrigued to see what it’ll be 👀👀👀👀
