2018 - More fun!

Well, it has been a while....again!

Lots has happened since we were last on here.

High School transition has gone really well - Qasim is now in a mainstream high school with a 1:1 with him at all times. The school has been outstanding in their approach to Qasim - both seeing the need to educate his fellow class mates about his condition and make sure Qasim's physical safety is uppermost in their concens. Yet they also are ensuring he is treated equally  - he does get warnings for not doing his homework and is expected to work as hard as everyone else.

We have also had a leg rodding surgery in the last year - Qasim has rods in his legs to strengthen and support him - preventing fractures and enabling him to have some independent mobility. All four of the rods need to be replaced. Two femurs were replaced last year and we are expecting the Tibia rods to be replaced in a few months time. 

We have had some nasty surprises - two compression fractures in his spine that Qasim never even noticed!

It just goes to show you that his positive outlook can overcome even fracture pain. Ask anyone who has met him - he is the most positive little man you could meet!
