i told you on my last entry that I had news.....
i'm not going to tell you about that now today as i have BIGGER news.
(sorry fella's that read this is a female thing so click the red x now if you dont want to read)
Bethany started her periods today.
I am devistated. on her last hospital visit we discussed (for a whole 2 minutes) about this happening. i was told that they could stop her from having this every month, but if they start there was nothing that could be done. so now there is nothing that can be done as they are rubbish at giving you help.
I have tried to explain about this to her. all she can say is that her boobys hurt. she keeps asking for me to get a doctor.
She will have a birthday next weekend and will be 13. had a letter from school yesterday to say that she has seen a speech therapist and has the understanding of a 4 year old! i'm am stuck as to how you would explain about such stuff to someone who is 4.
so now i have something else to worry about.....sigh.....tears.....sigh.
would i of felt like this is Bethany wasn't like she is???
love you all anyway so that makes it a bit better.
woo hoo sara!
love
Joanne

This must be soooo difficult to deal with. I hope Bethany is not frightened by it and you can find a way to explain it to her. Hugs, Terry x

Oh Joanne, do any of the Downs organisations produce a leaflet that could help here.
I know it is a worry for you, but you will handle this as you have many situations, head up...and just explain to her the best you can. Sorry, they could not have acted quicker on this to save her, and you the pain. My prayers to both of you...and many hugs and love,
Joyce
On Joanne I am so sad for you ~ it must be very hard trying to explain to Bethany ~ why didn't they act sooner to stop her having periods ~ can imagine how upset you must be feeling ~ Ally
Awww Joan don't worry :( I'm sure Bethany will understand it just may take time that's all xx
