My almost 17 year old mentally challenged daughter has been looking forward to and planning her birthday for the last year.Thanks to what’s going on her entire world has been shut down and she is heartbroken. She lives for school, her friends, and activities . We usually get respite care one or two weekends a month and her worker is like an extra grandma to her. So she misses all her aides and workers as well. she is used to being busy all the time, which keeps behaviours in check, so this is a new kind of hell for her.She is actually handling this like a pro though, with only a few breakdowns about hating this situation. we have been keeping busy and getting some good bonding time in. I’ve never been in complete control of her diet before due to cooking at school and her other programs etc so we are going to use this opportunity to go keto. I have heard/read it can help neurologically. 🤞🏻I am posting this here because I would like to ask for your help to make her birthday extra special. If you have the time and ability could you/your kids make and send her birthday cards? She has the iq/mentality of a 4/5 year old so this will blow her mind if she receives birthday cards from all over the world during these trying times.If this is something you can do please pm me for our address.
