“Up until a few years ago we used to go everywhere.  It all stopped, without warning.  I panic when I’m out with mum in case her chair falls over.  It has happened before. Katie is picked on at school and told that Mum is going to die.  I am constantly reassuring her that she won’t. From 20 months old Jess realised that Mummy's ‘dancing legs’ weren't right.  When Mum is unconscious she will stand by her until she comes around. Patrick and Daniel just want things to go back to how they were - we all do.”
