All i want for Christmas ... is DS2 home from hospital

[MrsPear]

So if it was a wonderful world ... what do you want for Christmas?

BTW i am lucky that DS2 at the mo is just very very small and not really gaining.

Do you know what.....we have stuff, not very well off but we can afford within reason to give DS's a good xmas so I'm happy with that. I would like new boots and a new coat but as long as the boys are happy I'm not fussed.
Hope your DS2 is home soon. x

I would like this to be the last Christmas that my mum lives further away than we'd like.

Hope your DS is home soon, OP.

Hope he manages to make it home for Christmas :)

Oh, MrsPear.

Have the hospital said he could be home for Christmas or is it likely you'll be celebrating by his side in hospital.

(((hugs))) to everyone who have babies and children in hospital over Christmas.

Oh MrsPear, I hope he makes it home in time.

I don't really wish for anything for me, thankfully we are all as well as we can be.

I wish that everyone could have the people they need and want with them, and I wish your son a speedy recovery.

I wish my mum was here for one last Christmas :(

Oh MrsPear I hope your wish comes true

Oh mrspear, I really feel over you guys...how is your LO doing?? So hard to think and celebrate Christmas when you have a LO that is unwell.

My LO came out of hospital on Christmas Eve last year and the staff there were absolutely amazing...made the build up to Christmas special! This year I just want my 2 LOs to be health, happy and have every single toy they want!!

Mrs Pear I hope he gets home in time.

I would like a day of no pain, but that is unlikely. So I would just like us all to be healthy and happy.

((((((Hugs)))))) waitingforastartofallxxx

I hope you get your wish MrsPear,

My wish is for us all to be healthy for chrismas day.

I wish DD would learn to speak..

Hope all your dreams come true :)

Fanjo, i hope you wish comes true and i'm sure one day it will xxxxx

Hope your LO is home soon Mrs Pear xx
I'm hoping for a healthy house dd always falls poorly over Christmas the last 5 Christmas she had the flu even though she's had the flu jab I think the run up at school takes it out of her.

Thanks Marne :)

Hi mrsp, I've been thinking of you. Hope ds2 is home for christmas

Hope you get your wish MrsPear.
Fanjo that was my wish for DS2 for years. He was 9 a few weeks ago & we can now have a conversation . I have to really concentrate but he's getting there. Wishing that for you.
for those whose wishes won't come true.

For me, I'd like DS2' ear infections to just sod off! Get lost! Bugger off! We are all sick of you!

MrsPear, I hope he is at home for christmas and Fanjo I hope you can have a chat with your DD soon.

I'd really like one more Xmas with my Grandad. He died last year but feeling a bit sad lately that he doesn't know I married DP now DH and that we have DD.

I'd like us all to be well.

Also would like my dad to still be with us - fingers crossed. And for him not to be in too much pain / be too confused.

I hope your ds2 comes home.

I would like to not be alone, to have someone to cook Christmas dinner for, to share presents with, to have a Christmas like on the adverts - family all having a lovely time etc. Instead of sitting on my own eating a microwave meal and wishing the time away.

Dinosaurs, can I just ask (sorry if it sounds like I'm being nosey) why are you on your own?! x

My older boys go to their dads for Christmas this year (we alternate) and I split up with ds3s dad earlier in the year. I wanted to have ds3 with me for Christmas but realised I was being selfish and would be making him miss out on a proper family Christmas with his dad and extended family - big meal, party, etc and that he would love it so although it means I spend the day alone at least my boys will all be having a great time. We will have our Christmas Day another day but it won't be the same, no point doing turkey etc as they will be fed up of it. It's just a date on the calendar really but as everything is so geared up for the 25th I can't help but find it depressing.

Previous years when I've spent the day alone I've just spent the whole day miserable in bed, I'm not going to make that mistake again. Really drags!

I just want a few days where I can sleep, not be woken because I need to go to work or because there are acitivities we need to get to. Just sleep, wake naturally, and then rolll over for a read of a crappy book to put me back for a long snooze.

DH has been away so much this year, and catching up on stuff when he is home, that I feel as though I've been single parenting and I am utterly exhausted from it all.

(And I really do realise I have it a lot better than many, there are just days when it all hits me and despite a nagging brewing chest infection, I still have to get up and go to work and organise lots - I just want to be under a duvet today).
