Doing much better

Written by Anonymous

Dad recently started on Rispatal,the overall diference in him is just great, we still have our good days and bad days but at the moment we are having more good then bad which makes life just a bit easier, not sure how long this will last I guess time will tell, but i'll enjoy it while I can.Dad also started on a weekly outing called The Twilight tour,where a community bus picks him up at 2.30 they go for a drive and have afternoon tea,bring him back home at approx 4.00
the first week I was frightend he would hate it, because when the bus arrived he was quite just so determend he wasen't going on no bus no matter what! but with a little encouragement he went and now can't wait for the next trip,dosen't matter that the story changes each time he tells someone about the outing.The main thing is he enjoyed it, and mixing with other people his age group seems to have brightened him up.Soon he is starting a day group which I hope he enjoys just as much.
