Both Emma and Sarah were recently recognised for their hard work at school.

They make me so proud!

My daughter; Emma Goodman was on Real Radio last weekend.

I have uploaded an mp3 of her appearance here, beware it is currently 30Mb in size; I will shortly edit down a smaller version.

A while back my daughter; Emma Goodman, was interviewed by a researcher from The Press Association who was interested in her story.

She has just called to say that Emma will be featured in the Spring Special edition of the Pick Me Up magazine that goes on sale this Friday.

I have just picked up my copy: 14th march edition, page 27.

Just some rumour control for anyone who may have seen the ambulance at our house on Saturday night.
Emma took some chest pains but she is better now.

As part of Emma’s art work at school she got the chance to set up an Enterprise, a small company that she has to run.
She set up her company “A Gift From The Heart” to sell hand made gifts.
She recently had a sale of her work.

Not a lot of updates on Emma’s progress recently so here we go.

Emma’s power in her arms and wrists has deteriorated severely over the last few weeks.
This we have seen coming  for a little while, we have been helping her to eat for six months or so.
The biggest impact this is having is that she can no longer use the keyboard on her laptop: so her online presence on Bebo and MSN has been brought to a premature end.
She has already been assessed for alternative input tools such as an eye controlled system. This happened when she was last at Rachel House so I never got a chance to find out more.

More worryingly the muscles in her throat are starting to weaken so she has started to choke on her food occasionally.

Check out today’s Daily Record pages 30 and 31.

Emma was at here school prom last week:

 Well her birthday is not until Wednesday but there was a surprise party last night.

The hall was full and there were loads of surprises: Fireworks, Stripper and an excellent rendition by her cousin Danielle.

Photos can be seen here:

It’s been quite a busy week.

• Emma went and met the Rangers players
• We got a new front door
• The extension may be getting back on track.
• Unfortunately Emma is getting slightly worse.
• Neighbours !
