Mumsnet Talk

You know Scout, in 18 months they could have found some other way of doing it. But also, Seb will be at school part time, so at least you could rest then. And its good that he can play away on his own, you dont need to be on the floor all the time with him. Lots of dvd time x

Being home is great. Apart from a nightmare with schooling for Ethan again! They are going to send a home tudor for a while. Faith will start pre-school in September, and we have to see about getting Gabe into a special needs nursery. Its hard being here on my own again, but its worth it, being close to my family.

Girl????

littlepea, it's one of those things where I'm not sure how I feel about it. Obviously over the moon that the biopsy came back with some awesome results. Gutted, though, because it means I have to wait another 18 months to start. I think if I had started immediately/when I thought I should have been I'd be okay because S was still napping and I could have done, too. But by waiting until he's 5+ to start he'll be that much older to be able to understand/help out a bit/watch TV on his own for an hour while I slump in an exhausted heap. I'm lucky that he entertains himself very well (he always has). The next round consists of three medications -- two of which I had the first time and they're adding a third/new drug. I'm dreading the effects of the first two and the third is obviously an unknown entity. It is, however, intense. The doctor said to expect to be at the hospital at least twice a month for blood tests, appointments, etc., as well as daily texts to remind me to take my meds, etc. (though I was good and only missed less than 1/2 dozen doses last time). I'll be looking at 15-18 pills a day plus weekly (self) injections. I shall rattle.

Oh well, it is what it is.

How is it being home, littlepea?

Yesterday was US Mothers Day. S and I rang my mom and his five minute monologue telling her about our weekend just made her day/week. I don't think he came up for air while he told her everything we had done.

Bugger that Scout, at least you have gone through it once before, you know what to expect, but maybe that makes it worse.
Calypso!! It doesnt take them long to grow up thats for sure. Gabe was 2 yesterday, times just flying in.
Great being back home, and DH will be home on Sunday for 10 days. Kids miss him like crazy. DS1 isnt in school yet....i went mad with the special needs board today, and they are going to supply a tudor at the house! Happy days lol

Where are the rest of you ladies????

Girl!???!!

Well, we're looking at "early 2015." I have mixed feelings about it, but such is life.

Sadly, no date yet for round two -- any time between now and the end of 2015 to start. If the results from my biopsy show lots of damage I may get bumped up on the waiting list. However, if it shows little or no damage we're looking at closer to 2015. Grrrr. It's a catch-22 really -- obviously I don't want there to be damage but if there's damage I get the medicine sooner. Ack. I'm meant to have a letter through inviting me to clinic to review the results. So far no letter but the HCA at the day-patient ward where I was said I'd get the letter in two-to-three-weeks and the test was two weeks ago this coming Monday.

This weekend S officially turns 3 1/2. Where has the time gone?!?!?!

...and I added a few photos of the girls in my profile - can't really make them out with the poor res but you get the idea!

So quiet on here

But a very belated hello from me!
All fine in lovely London, Lyra is now 13m but currently very snotty, conjuctivitis and coldsores, poor thing. Has been "walking" since 11m but just won't quite let go of my finger, my back's knackered

Annalise flipflops between being so funny and lovely to being just unbelievably defiant and willful. When it was particularly cold and sleety she went through a 2wk phase of refusing completely to put her coat on. Pft, and you can imaging the people tutting and making loud comments such as "ooh don't you think you should be wearing your coat young lady in this terrible weather" [pointed look my way]. I would have done the same thing if I hadn't had my own 3yr old!!

Littlepea I hope you are much happier back in NI and DS gets to go to school.

Scout a biopsy? I'm sorry, that sounds stressful, I hope you're going to be well again soon x

AG Hello! hope all good your way

fidelma no suprise to see that your life is as crazy as ever - envious about the build, we've had 3wks of work here just ended last week and had enough of builders in the house from 8am and the dust, the DUST! Anyway its looking good now

HT or is that who 'Girl' is - where are you? And what was going on with you lately??

Hopefully it won't be stupidly long before I post again. Have added MN app to my phone so I will be able to read at least, yay

GIRL!!!!!!!!!

When will you get the results back Scout? Will you start the treatment soon???

I had my biopsy last week and while the procedure was fine (no pain, etc.), it wiped me out and all I wanted to do was sleep all week. This week I'm enjoying spring while it's here.

Where is everyone????

Is this the thread finished???

GIRL!!!! Where are you......please......Im more than worried, but dont know how to find you!

Hey everyone.....last time on in England!!!! Computer is now being packed up, so i will talk to you all from NI!!!! Be good!!!!

It will be hard but at least everyone will have space.The build should be shorter than a pregnancy.Short term pain for long term agin.
Connor had a big nap this afternoon (not great when the clocks change) however our lovely babysitter is coming as we are off to friends for dinner.

Scout good luck.Seb sounds great.

Littlepea will you be close to your family?
And how long will you be able to stay?
lovely to hear from you all x

When will your treatment start again Scout? Will it depend on what they find at the hospital? xx

Whoop, whoop, littlepea!

We have had a very busy week, with most days spent out of the house from breakfast until dinner or bedtime. Today is our first free day all week and while I had thought of taking S swimming we're spending the day in our pjs instead. We've been coloring, doing dot-to-dot pictures, building Lego, playing with trains and now watching CBeebies. S definitely needs a slow/at-home day not to mention me and is currently laying across the chair and me, watching television.

I fell roller skating on Tuesday and my wrist/arm/elbow is still a bit sore. Silly thing was I wasn't even on the rink when I went down but on the way to the bin in an effort to clear up S's snack before we went back out on the rink. S didn't fall this week, not that he does much, and he laughed when he saw me on the ground -- "oh dear, you falled over."

MrScout goes to the continent for work next week. The following week I'm having a biopsy so he's having S all day by himself as well as taking me to/from the hospital (it's an all-day, 8 a.m. to earliest 6 p.m., out-patient procedure) then we're off to the in-laws for the Easter weekend on Thursday.

It's all a-go here!

Yes Scout, we got it!!! My mum & dad fly over on the 6th April, and take the 2 little ones back with them. So we have removals arriving on the 12th and should be back home on the 14th April. Cant believe its happened so quickly!

Hows Seb getting on?

Girl??????

Hey to anyone else.....hurry back!!!!

Any word, littlepea?!?!?!

Hey everyone....hope you all had a great mothers day!

We find out tomorrow is the house is ours, removals are ready to go if it is....oh my!!!!

Girl where are you??? Im more than a bit worried. How do I do a private message here, to find out?????

xxx

Happy Mother's Day!

Ooooohhhh, good luck, littlepea!

Hi

Looks like i will be back home within 6 weeks!!! Getting rented house, and DS1 is going into special needs school. Getting excited......fingers crossed tomorrow, will know if we have the house. xx

Oh. S has his next month. I was told any time between 3.5 and starting school. Given how behind the HV clinic runs it feels like yesterday that he had his two-year check. My GP clinic is much more on the ball.

We had sun for the first time in weeks yesterday. Even S shouted with glee at it when we went for a walk to town. He was so excited he ran almost the whole way.

Swim lessons day -- hooray!

Just watched "child of our time" the children are the same age as dd1. Interesting. Apparently 50% of the families are now divorced! That's huge.
Connor is pretty full on at the moment. 18 months until school. By then I will of had an under 5 for 14 and a half years!!!
I am looking forward to a day to myself.
Dd1 turns 13 next week. She is 5th 10" !!! I am 5th 5" so now feel pretty small. My gang are all enjoying sport.
I have turned a job down with the Royal ballet and given upmy evening dance class. The family need me after school. Tea, homework,different clubs etc.
Dd1 is the club champion for swimming ( takes up alot of time however has been the making of her)
Dd2 sport and singing. ( played the flute but sadly doesn't practice that much and I can't make her)
Ds1 is 7 and sensitive. All the girls love him.
Finding bramble the cocker spaniel very hard work! Might give her away to another loving home ( but very worried about the effect on the dc) what do you all think?
Don't forget the only dogs I like ate HOT DOGS!
