The Day After

March 25th, 2009 by Claire Hayes

Yesterday I posted about my daughter’s sleeplessness and I asked for help.  So simple and it worked.

Today I feel so different.  I had the visit from the Doctor while my daughter slept.  For an hour I talked about my daughter and something miraculous happened.  I was listened to and heard.  I have a lot of respect for medical Doctors, but the truth is that in our system (UK), they generally don’t have more than a few minutes for each “normal” appointment.  This Doctor, and her associate Nurse, listened, were respectful, had ideas and insight.  They left me feeling for the first time that truly “the system” is on my side.  A miracle.

Today, I live in a more “joined-up” world. 

Yet the world is the same…..

I wonder what changed…….
