'The school phoned, Scout's hurt'

The post lockdown return to school ends with a bump.

Kate Monahan shares personal moments in this virtual audio diary documenting a family of four in lockdown as a Mum with chronic pain and mobility issues.

Four-year-old Scout returns to school after lockdown and mums Kate and Holly experience a range of emotions - especially when the school ring with some bad news which takes Holly off to the hospital - a place she's been avoiding for a year.

Not just one but two! Holly has a second trip to hospital but this time she has to travel by train because it's all the way down in London. She received a kidney transplant 11 years ago, but will forever be on immunocompromising medication - a constant source of anxiety during this pandemic though she has now had the vaccine.

Produced by Amy Elizabeth.
