Hi everyone
Would like to start by wishing everyone a happy christmas.
Being an Aunty to a terminally ill quadriplegic teenager, i know how important respite care is, not just for the carer, but also the child.
All parents will understand how tiring it can be, with a newborn baby, totally dependent on you for it's every need. The first few months being the hardest. Now imagine that scenario seven days a week for the next thirteen years and in my nephews case hopefully longer.
I would like to nominate the Butterwich Hospice in Stockton, Teeside, who provide much needed respite, and have been a great help, to my sister and her family over the years.
