**TAMOXIFEN** 26 !

[MaryAnnSingleton]

Here we go !

Oh my, have just googled Colorado news.

With the baby, I'm not sure how they tell about brain damage. Maybe a scan would tell them something, but for now I think they're concentrating on getting her stable. She has to have a tube into her lungs, which is incredibly painful so she's on high dose morphine. She's also in some sort of full body suit to keep her temperature constant and avoid any further damage. Poor little thing.

Bloody Nora re Colorado
What makes people do things like this ?

Re the baby , they will do brain scans to check for bleeds . If and where the bleeds are will indicate the type of damage to be expected .

Ah, Topsy, that makes sense.

Poor, poor little thing. What a terrible introduction to the world.

As regards Colorado - what on earth possesses someone to make them do something like that. Drugs or hate, I suppose. Impossible to fathom.

Topsy, sensible thoughts. I think for now they just have her in intensive neo natal care, so imagine scans will follow once she's stronger and once the parents are stronger too. Poor things are in shock. Wish I could do more. Am going to go to poncey but treat-filled organic foodstore later and buy lots of goodies for them. can't think what else to do. Hope to go and visit in next day or so, but for now family are with them.

what's happened in Colorado ? (will go and look)
Will keep thinking of your friend's baby smee and hope all will be ok.

I'm sure that will be welcome, Smee - the goodies and the thought behind them.

MAS - another mass shooting

Good idea Smee . We all know how bad (and expensive) hospital food can be .
So food treats would be very welcome I'm sure . They need to keep their strength up for the baby .

Sounds a great idea smee x

Ye Gods !
How much are bread makers ???
To those of you who have one , are they a worth while investment ?
We do go through an awful lot of bread in this house .
And can you make rolls in them ?

Yes they are worthwhile- and yes can
Make rolls and a load of other stuff. Have used ours every day for 3 years.

Afternoon all. Had lovely lunch with kurri today - she's fabulous! Had a great chat and lots of laughs. Nice lunch too, in pub near kurri's mum - deli platter for me, risotto fr kurri and then Eton Mess healthy, fat free dessert for us both. Fantastic

topsy our bread maker is fab, use it every day. Recommend getting one. Cam do all sorts of breads, pizza bases, fruit breed, cheese bread etc. all v yummy

smee got everything crossed for your friends baby. Am sure delicious foods bits will go down brilliantly. Hope there's more positive news to report soon x

gracie hope wedding fun. Bet you look lovely - accessories on FB look great!

Went to DSs final prize giving assembly - DS won his class' Gold Award for Child of this Half Term. Am a super proud mummy

Hope everyone has lots of nice plans for weekend?

aw clever clever ds ned well done to him !!
And how lovely that you've met kk !! yay !

Ah Ned, that's sweet. What a clever boy. My DS didn't win his class prize, but told me he was close. When I asked how he knew, he said the boy who won's name starts with the same letter as his..!

Great to hear you and Kurri met, Ned. Hope she's having a relaxing break and her DH's managed to wind down a bit.

I have just bought lots of wondrous snacks for friend. Spent several arms and a leg, but still nice to be doing something. Off out with BF to the local tonight, will leave DH and DS to watch Tour de France.

Well done Ned junior
And yippee for another Tamoxifen Meet Up

Looks like I NEED to buy a bread maker then ?
What do we recommend ?

Soup was lush btw , even the DC ate it .

Oh and nurses forgot me again today .
So no picc line cleaning .
They are putting me on tomorrows list instead , but aren't sure whether the nurse who is on tomorrow has had the training for the new super pic ... sigh ...

Read that as " off out with the boyfriend" Smee
My your DH is remarkably laid back

The BF days are sadly long gone Topsy, and let's face it best mates are far more fun.

Enjoy the chicken fest. Hope the mouth's a bit less ouch now. x

I must agree Smee , the only way I'd have a boyfriend now would be if he was gay !

The only bf I Want is one who would fetch me chips.

Think food idea is a brilliant one smee
Yay for Ned ds - That is lovely.

Panasonic bread makers are meant to be some of the best, topsy but that was some time ago, when we got ours.

Kurri reported that her DH seemed a bit more relaxed, and wasn't coughing as much, which is definitely positive. They're in Dorset for a good few days, so hopefully they'll get a decent break.

topsy that they forgot you again! Hope tomorrow's nurse is suitably qualified to be able to sort your PICC. Are you using difflam for mouth ulcers? It worked pretty well for me.

at smee's boyfriend! I agree, I couldn't keep up with a boyfriend now. Far too much like hard work.

Mouth much better today thanks .
Got chlorohexidine mouthwash which I used non stop for a couple of days and that seems to have shifted the worst of it .

Good to hear KKs DH seems more relaxed .
I am very guilty of forgetting that my DH is going through all this aswell as me .
Oh for a quiet life with no worries eh ?

That's good about mouth ulcers- I have been using aloe Vera mouthwash as a precaution.

Yep hard for dh here too but seems to be coping better- part of reason why think its better he has a holiday without me than stay here as needs a break z

Ooh talking of dh, he has just put Lewis on...

I have a not so secret crush on Laurence Fox (Hathaway in Lewis)
Think he's a little bit yum ...

Am off to that London tomorrow- I daresay trailing around after ds looking at buildings ! going on the train which is always an adventure.
love to all xxxxx
