What about quality of life?

A bit shit

Not shit at all


It's very easy to imagine that a life with medical needs, lots of tube-age and a profound learning disability could mean a poor quality of life. I've heard medics throw this term around quite flippantly, " you need to think about quality of life" they say without actually understanding what that term means. For them it seems to mean cognitively and physically able, orally fed and managing to communicate. In their defence medics do tend to see our kids at their worst. I just wish they would see these children enjoying life, however  different it may be. This attitude skews society's perceptions and helps no one. 

My son is surrounded by love. There's no better feeling than that.
