Remember our children w/#scoliosis who were failed miserably, forced to wait in pain, suffering inhumanely, leading to irreparable harm. Hear us parents who were ignored & never met with despite promises. We can't forget. Let's make sure this doesn't continue to happen. 💔Brendan

July 2016. Parents shouldn't have to go to media in attempts to get the healthcare their disabled child needs. It should never have to happen. All those years fighting for timely, humane, care. But he was failed time after time. He deserved far better. Brendan Bjørn 💜

If anyone is looking for a short (3 episode) true crime documentary, I can recommend American Nightmare (2024) on Netflix.

I've always seen the Presidency of Ireland as more of a ceremonial role, similar to that of a King or Queen. Some limited power but really nothing compared to the parliament. Diplomacy, ceremony, public relations. Not voted in by the citizens. Ok. I've said it.

A wonderful thread on a lovely historic chapel.
Set in the dramatic landscape of the Northumberland National Park, Biddlestone Roman Catholic Chapel is a beautiful Victorian place of worship built on the foundations of a medieval pele tower. 1/9

good morning @Wexfordbus. I've tried to cancel a ticket for today online since 10am. Can't do it. Emailed you and told you can't cancel and refund it. Why not? Considering we use your service about 3 times a week, seems pretty inflexible. Maybe a credit for the next ticket???.

⬇️ Let us remember that the current The Minister for Children, Disability, and Equality is Norma Foley and the current Minister for Health is Jennifer Carroll MacNeill. This is happening under their watch.
The number of children waiting for scoliosis surgery has risen again since the Government took office in January, up from 112 to 131. @scolionetwork.

A better Facebook memory from this day, in 2019. My beautiful angel boy, Brendan Bjorn. I couldn't have known I'd only have him for another 2 1/2 years. Missing you dearly, sweet boy 💔💜💜

I've been asking that question for 11 years now. Only answer I can come up with is the people in power don't care, don't think much of children and especially those with any disability and/or medical care needs. 😡.
We should never know their names. They should never have to share their pain to the country. Only in Ireland are parents forced to use social media / media to access medical care to keep their children alive. Why do we treat sick children like this? . #JusticeforHarvey
