I'm sorry...


Hello everyone!
I thought I'd post today because I feel so guilty for leaving you hanging and not posting in ages. I'm sorry. I will try and explain what has been happenning in my life and why I haven't been able to post. Thank you to everyone reading this and sticking by me, it truly means a lot and I really appreciate it so thank you! :)

I've had a very different but exciting past few weeks as I have been trialling a new school. It has been tiring but I'm absolutely loving it! Just to be clear, I liked my previous school however it is extremely big and I just felt a smaller school would suit me better. I've actually gone two weeks today and I'm feeling so much more positive. This school has an extremely gentle and caring aspect to it and for me this has been really nice. I have made lots of new friends who are lovely and I'm generally just loving being there. The days are longer: I get up at 6:30am and have to be on the minibus by 7:35am so it's an early start for me! Lessons finish at 4:30pm however the minibus doesn't arrive until 6 o'clock meaning there is a bit of time inbetween either to get work done or attend a club. I arrive back at home at around 6:50pm therefore it's an extremely long day but I am getting used to it...slowly! I have three weeks of my trial remaining and then hopefully they will offer me a place for September which I will be delighted to accept!

Anyway, because of these long days I haven't had much time to post but I'm finally getting round to it now (yes, I realise it's a bit late but oh well!). I've also had to sit eight end of year exams therefore many of my short evenings have been spent revising. However, luckily exams are over now and the stress is off! I've started getting a few of my results back and I've very pleased since I had only been at the school for three days before I sat my first exam and with the meds I'm on, I do regularly suffer from brain fog!

With the school gossip over, I'll very quickly update you about the rest of my life. I had my brain MRI but I haven't received the results from that yet which I must remember to chase up! In terms of seizures, my meds have been stable for quite a while now and my seizures are decreasing (praise the lord) with on average only one major seizure per month which is incredible. Hopefully, this summer we may be going abroad which will be lovely as I've had to cancel two holidays due to my condition being too unstable. But if I do get to go abroad, I'll embrace every moment as I have been praying for this for months and months! To be honest, that is about all that has been going on in my life over the past month (I know, not very exciting!) my time has mainly been taken up with school things and although that may sound annoying, I'm loving every moment!

Once again, I'm sorry it's been so long and I also can't apologise enough for how uninteresting this post has been but I don't lead an incredible life, I'm just grateful for the little things! Thank you for getting to the end of this post without dying of boredom, I do appreciate it! ;)

I promise to speak soon,
Evie :) x
