My Life Story - page seven 16th July 2002 we celebrated Stacey's 19th birthday. She had a great day and looked radiant. We planned Stacey's final assembly at school, when she would be presented with all her records of achievements and photographs of the 15 years in front of the whole school, but on the morning, just as we were leaving home Stacey had a bad seizure and later that day ended up in casualty and an over night stay in hospital. It wasn't the way we had planned. There was a 3 month gap before Stacey moved into adult day services so we took advantage of the time and went to see lots of shows, visited zoo's and farms, did lots of shopping and we had plenty of pub lunches! She had a great time and thrived on all the excitement and stimulation. Stacey settled really well into the adult day services, she loved the more laid back approach with all the community based activities. The staff worked hard to make her transition as easy as possible. Stacey's main problem now is her continued physical deterioration and her epilepsy is still causing us some concerns, so much so that Stacey now has Oxygen at her bedside and also on her wheelchair to support her recovery from the seizures. She has also developed a new breathing abnormality to add to the 7 she already had! 2003 and Stacey is 20! She has gone through so much in her life and you have to admire her strength and determination. To suffer like she has yet still come up smiling. She is very special, Our Stace……… Page 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10
