I am another who admire how supportive and caring you have been, your love for your family is so clear in every post. I can’t imagine how hard this must have been for you to see your daughter going through.
Her achievements are amazing, she has come so far. I’m sure this is partially down to the wonderful love and care from you as parents. I’m so pleased to hear these positive updates xx |

Wanted to do a little update . The above was from September 2016. Please take the time to open up the quoted post as it becomes relevant below The relevance is that just as that was the first she stayed at home overnight for 6 months , tonight is the first time ( other than when she has been in hospital ) that she has stayed overnight away from home . As a reward for doing well where she works ( M&S) , she was awarded a prize along with another lady at her store , of an all expenses paid trip to see the premiere today of Frozen 2 in London M&S have been fantastic for her ( they don’t know her ‘ backstory’ so please no-one pass it on who happens to work there) She was still nervous about going - the eating with others, the overnight away from us , the big city experience , the journey down by train etc - but excited at the opportunity. This is her “living the future” that has been her fear all along Hopefully she will have a great time and it will stand her in good stead to tackle other things To update other stuff since the last update , it has been mainly positive . Eating isn’t great , and she is having a few issues with newish medication she is on to try to combat her ‘ monthlies’ which scare her But , she has received a provisional driving licence ( not had chance to go out with her yet and I think now it’s come, she is a bit nervous - understandably And she has just submitted a UCAS form to go to university next year. It is nowhere near certain she will take it - there needs to be much more improvement in the next 10 months - but just the fact she is looking ahead is a big step forward Thanks as always for your ongoing support x

Wow well done to Emma on winning the award. How fantastic for her. My fingers are tightly crossed that she was ok? You must be so very proud.
Such a positive update. Even just wanting to tackle driving and uni is a big step in the right direction. I hope you are feeling encouraged by all of this. I know it’s early days and may not happen but at least she wants it to. Please let us know how her trip away was for her. So hoping she enjoys it. Thanks for updating us... and so happy it’s so encouraging. Thinking of you all x |

What a great update and as you have posted - "every parent is proud of their child"
I think you have a daughter who should be so proud of the strength and comfort you have provided on this journey. Your selfless dedication to ensuring she has made this much progress is incredible. As for Emma, she is an inspiration to everyone who ever reads about her journey and to hear that her work at M&S has been recognised is such a huge step forward. As always - small steps and keep that forward momentum continuing - with all the love and support from The Dibb.

Many thanks for the kind words from you and others .
What I would say is that although I offer as much support as I can to our daughter, it is nothing compared to that given by my dear wife. She works part time and has done pretty much all the doctors /nurses / therapist etc appointments , pretty much all of the stressful at times meal and snack times , drops her at work and picks her up , even when she starts on a 7am shift on a Saturday for example , she gets up to get her breakfast ( Emma won’t make her own ) and take her to work before getting back in bed. All I have done is go to the ‘ bigger meetings’ , do the odd shift at doctors / mealtimes etc , and provide encouragement where necessary My DW doesn’t come on here ( she doesn’t even know about this thread ) but it is her that deserves all the praise in the world for getting us this far This thread has been great for my own mental health through all your support and I do often read it back in quiet times to remember how far we have come . I am honestly not sure I could have got through it without my own little haven in here , so a massive thank you to everyone

Emma has done a collage today of some of her pictures
The ‘ face your fears’ was the back of the entrance ticket and so perfect
