Day 203 19/1/12 Blind Parents Meeting

Today we were invited to the inaugural meeting of a group for blind and partially sighted parents. It's a wonderful idea. There are so many services for visually impaired children, I'm glad to say, but very little for VIPs, visually impaired Parents. It's a pity we won't be around for the next meeting or probably for any others 'cos we'll be on the wrong continent. They had also had some difficulty contacting some o f the other parents and arranging for them to some this time. So in fact there was only one other Mum there a blind woman called Earum, who has a girl aged three. We sat and chatted while Michael played on the floor with some nice toys. He did come up for his usual round of the people in the room.



It was great to meet Earum and we have arranged to see her again before we go. I think she has a whole load of great advice to give another blind mum about looking after toddlers.
