This is No Ordinary Kid. Family life, raising a child with special needs after surviving Meningitis. Monday, 16 June 2014. Cam Got a Haircut . Ooops. On Saturday Cameron went with MMM to get a much needed hair cut. I was referring to his hair as Sideburns Gone Wild. He really needed a hair cut. This visit MMM settled Cameron into a chair and spoke with the hairdresser before leaving them both and sitting in the waiting area. Cameron did really well and after a quick consult with MMM about whether pro...

This is No Ordinary Kid. Family life, raising a child with special needs after surviving Meningitis. Tuesday, 17 June 2014. Just How Many Pairs of Jeans Does One Person Need? This post is not an advertisement and has not been paid for. I just like to tell people when I think a product or service is good. Recently I took Cameron shopping for Jeans. He very inconsiderately grew out of about 4 pairs of last years jeans and now that we don't have school uniforms we need more casual clothes. Cameron happily e...

This is No Ordinary Kid. Family life, raising a child with special needs after surviving Meningitis. Friday, 6 June 2014. I Don't Consider Myself a Special Needs Parent. I've read a few blog posts over the last few months about how parents of children with special needs would like people to talk to them and be friends with them. The blog posts I have read have been wonderfully written and have stirred up a lot of good discussion amongst the special needs community. Don't get me wrong, I'm not embarrassed...

http://thisisnoordinarykid.blogspot.com/2014/06/toileting-18-year-old-style.html
This is No Ordinary Kid. Family life, raising a child with special needs after surviving Meningitis. Thursday, 19 June 2014. Toileting - 18 Year Old Style. The quest for Cameron to become an independent toileter continues. It is painstaking and tiring, frustrating and infuriating. And sometimes it's just plain funny but not very often anymore. Lately he has been having a morning wee in the shower and I figure this is fine. It's all going down the drain and he knows he's doing it so that has to be a p...

This is No Ordinary Kid. Family life, raising a child with special needs after surviving Meningitis. Thursday, 26 June 2014. My Nightmare Came True. Cameron 18 years old. I've been quiet for a week because I was in shock and trying to process what happened. Why? I admit I have lived a sheltered life, yes I drink wine but didn't try alcohol until I was in my twenty's and I've never smoked and have never taken drugs either. This can't be true. The person Cameron was with took advantage of the fact Cameron ...
