think
when she was little
she was giggly she was happy she
responded really well to stimulation so
what we're gonna do Peter we're going to
roll you on to your right hand side
we'll do all the work you don't need to
do anything all right we were just close
it was happy happy
Ready Steady roll well done
Ready Steady back
I don't want to be a mum at all I want
to be a mother at all okay Peter
but you look down on that little thing
that's helpless and in your arms and
Everything Changes
[Music]
just having a look at your scans before
we move you all right
with Peter everything was just all I can
remember it being really really easy
right so we'll do the same commands as
before as everybody ready ready steady
slides
go through you're right she hardly cried
and she didn't make a fuss or anything
she'd whimper a bit I mean it was feed
time and change time and but she was
I could cuddle her then
remember cuddling in there Ready Steady
roll oh well done Peter started to
change character
at about six months old
as she got older and we tried to get her
to do things or you tried to hug her or
something like that she would kick off
she would absolutely throw a tantrum
thank you very much
a lot better it was quite hard bringing
her up at that point and we didn't know
how to
cope with her once she got to the stage
of
um
toddler
all right sweet pea
it was like
it was like somebody flipped a switch
you're probably going to have to stay in
sweetheart
all right
she did approach life with quite an
angry head
if things weren't going her way she
would literally flip out and if she
wasn't calming down at that point it was
into the bedroom let her get over it
herself because
sometimes if you didn't
you're putting yourself in
danger as it were because she was strong
and she was she hurt if she hit you oh I
need a dream
I mean one day she threw a flipping
bookcase at me
all the books came flying down on me and
I just very calmly lifted it back up and
put it against the wall and went into a
bedroom and I just went that's not
acceptable but we'll discuss that when
you've calmed down
right come on sweetie you ready just
gotta wet your lips
okay
to be honest I thought she was just a
naughty child and I just drawn the Short
Straw it was unlucky I'd had two really
good children so therefore the third one
was really naughty
there you go some good news is that your
neck as in your spine it's all clear on
the scan
so we can take you off these blocks
again so how is your
how is your neck feeling it's feeling
all right yeah yeah okay good how is it
here
and here
and how is it here all right okay get
all right do you want to sit up a bit
yeah sure
all right we're getting an x-ray with
your collarbone we'll get it moving and
it shouldn't need an operation thank you
very much that's okay
I'll just bring her for a quick episode
okay do you want me to wait here yeah
she'll be back in a few minutes okay
it hurt me sometimes when I'd say to
Peter can I have a hug and she no
okay sweetheart so hello my name's Holly
the way I coped was I would go into my
bedroom and I'll cry
Dr amanjit now has the results of
Peter's collarbone x-ray
so looking at it like this
this is your collarbone your clavicle
from there to there so it goes from here
your snap ticket yeah it's just broken
just there yeah so that's well and truly
it's done that yeah
when you're up with a sling you'll start
to go in the right place
when you when you're upright and just
moving around helps promote bone healing
and he'll probably just heal with a bump
of its own accord if that's not
happening then they'll talk about a very
simple operation I mean you know it's so
easy to get to it
I think it was when she was four years
old
we went to Corfu with my my old school
friend Catherine she's a teacher it was
Catherine who sat there and she goes
she's got Asperger's and I'd say she's
ADHD as well
you're able to just to tell your head
all the way to the left that's it
it was a bit of a shock because he was
sort of like think oh but then Things
fall into place
and how's that feeling a little bit of
sore
when she was diagnosed it actually
helped to Define
what the problems were so you could
actually understand it
it put
a cap
on the reasoning behind the Tantrums and
the you know so we we knew then what it
was
not that it made it much easier
I was worried about Peter while she was
in hospital because she doesn't like to
be in a strange place on her own
but she'd copes
foreign
I just want to grow up and be like her
she's helped me through all my life
she's believed in what I can do when
sometimes I don't believe in myself
I love my mum 100 percent
