Over the time Kim has been in hospital. We have been looking at getting Internet for Kim. Shell has been talking Sensory Inclusion Service (SIS) about the technical side as they have a department on the hospital site. Unfortunately dial up over a fix phone line is not possible.
They talked with the Shropshire deaf children society (SDCS) about the problem, and SDCS have decided to by a loan laptop for use by deaf children. They are adding a USB mobile dongle that we will top up with data credit.
You really don't know what this means to us. Kim can communicate with us, her friends, with the world. Letting her reach out side the confines of the cell, sorry isolation room. Being able to chat online with her, means her mum is only a click away, and for a teenager that can be a godsend or a cures. For Kim I think it the first of the two.
It is going to be a week or so before the laptop arrives, and Kim is looking forward to it. It is nice to see something other than sadness, tiredness or just fed up look on her face.
You got to hold on to the little thing like that look.
