It's 5pm and she's in the bath.... for the third time today!  We ponder the wisdom of consuming that much water...   but she's so happy!  She loves her bath time.

Naomi goes to the villa for 3 days tomorrow night to make sure that the maintenance is being kept up to standard.

This is Kaylia (as No 4) .... and if you dare to interrupt her iPhone time, you will probably be told to "GO!"

#1822 Wednesday 6 June

Kaylia is going to see "Dr Steve" today .... he makes her back brace and does maintenance on the brace. Currently the straps at the back of the brace are too short and so the brace is too tight for her.  After the brace has been fixed it should be more comfortable.   Kaylia has been wearing the brace since November 2016 ...... when the fitting is correct, she really likes to wear the brace.  I think it relieves the strain of her curved spine.  She will need to wear the brace for a while yet.


Monica has joined us as Kaylia's new aupair.  Monica is from the UK and she's training to be a vet.

Well .....  since the last post that talked about the NDIS tactics to prevent people receiving benefits,  the system has struck at Kaylia!

 On Wednesday the NDIS conducted Kaylia's annual review .... and wonder of wonders!  According to NDIS she is getting better!  She no longer has severe autism!  .... she has improved from a level 3 to a level 2 .......

 "oh ... she doesn't need as much support any more does she?"   At this stage the funding has only dropped by 7% ..... but the writing is on the wall.

That power is called "Politician"

Isn't it wonderful the way our magnificent .... caring .... benevolent ... government can wave it's miraculous magic wand and cure our disabilities with the stroke of a pen!
