We received an email from Robbie's local authority this afternoon confirming that the funding for therapy has been approved. We weren't expecting such a quick answer after CAMHS said "no", and are absolutely delighted with these news. We have to wait for an official letter to arrive and then we'll have to make arrangements with the agency that's providing the therapy. We don't know what their availability is like, but now that we know that the therapy will go ahead and we don't have to make a charity appeal or get a second mortgage we don't mind waiting.
It's such a relief. I didn't realise how much this was weighing on my shoulders until now. I've been walking on air all evening, full of hope that this is the way forward and together with the therapists we can work at addressing the issues that have been affecting our family.
I want to thank you all for the support, encouragement and suggestions you have given us during this time. It means so much.

I am so very happy for you, great news. :)
Ooh! Good news indeed!
I like to think my crossed fingers made all the difference. ;-)
Congratulations! I am so pleased for both of you, for getting the support you have worked so hard for, and Robbie because he deserves this chance.
Well done to your local authority for putting the needs of a child above the money.
I wish you the best of luck.
Excellent news - very pleased for you.
I think the assistant clinical director knew he was doing you a favour! Good luck and well done xx
Thank you all for your comments. Scribbles, yes, I suspect CAMHS knew what they were doing. Twangy, I'm sure your crossed fingers made all the difference! : )
