having a pretty sh*tty week at work, dts being quite sweet but I hardly see them also have my parents and PILs doing some childcare which is not really working out

will try to catch up now...

Harrogatemum · 27/09/2007 19:33

hi dingdong! FG has got the red open, pour yourself a drop or ten!

Mars - come and lay your weary head on my fried eggs lovey, we can always put a cushion on them if its a bit too bony

frumpygrumpy · 27/09/2007 19:44

You heard correctly dingdong but there was only one glass left in the bottle and now I don't know what to do!!! Gin next would be an awkward switch and I've no more red or white

Thank you pixi, what a lovely thing to say. I certainly haven't been a rock, I've just been able to understand peoples dodgy times because I seem to be the Queen of dodgy times I will try to surf the wave. Again.

Our local italian does fabby pizza, I'm sure it will help

MarsLady · 27/09/2007 19:44

It's okay Pixi my angel. Got a fellow student who's been having the same issues as me (basically not getting on with it) and I'm meeting her in town and she's taking them!

If I could just get my horrid screaming darling DT1 to go to bed and sleep I could get done.

frumpygrumpy · 27/09/2007 19:47

It has turned into a bit of a boobfest

Mars, a drop of gin for your lovely DT1?

MarsLady · 27/09/2007 19:51

Sod never mind her! I'm having it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Harrogatemum · 27/09/2007 19:54

MarsLady · 27/09/2007 20:10

B cup? Those halcyon prechild days!

MarsLady · 27/09/2007 20:20

help needed!

Am off to find my final 1,000 words... or salsa!

piximon · 27/09/2007 20:36

FG- have you read Puff the Magic Dragon? does it have the same effect on you as The Snowman? That evil lovely Mars bought DD1 a copy for her birthday. I thought it was such a beautiful book I'd read to everyone round the table the next day, got to the sad bit, my voice caught in my throat, tears poured down my face and DH had to rescue the book and the DCs while I recovered Thanks Mars!

Hi to all my bosom pals! Thank you all for your lovely mesages first of all. Well today has been quite a day and I am truly physically and mentally exhausted. Took the kids to scholl and drove up to Lewisham arrived at 11pm an hour too early. Parking a nightmare and £2 an hour! Anyway we were first seen by Dr Sharmas registrar, had to go thru the whole story and showed her relevant paper work. By the time I had finished she was crying and so was I. She was soooooooooo concerned for us and said she truly hoped by the end of the day they could give us some answers. We then spoke to Dr Sharma(Tom Conte look alike and lovely voice to boot!)and he said that he too felt that the cause given on Matthews death was probably not correct as we had already been told by several cardiologists.He said although the triplets were biologically not mine he felt they should run full tests on me to see if I carried any syndrome that could hae contributed to Matthews sudden death. He said that although the referal was only for me as Harry was there it would make sense to check him too. At 2pm they started my tests, long echocardiogram, ecg, then 15 min exercise ecg, then the last test which is a fairly new proceedure which carries risks, ie I could have died!They said they had done 80-90 and no-one yet had not survived!!! They injected a drug into my arm which instantly made my head feel really strange and also made you feel that you were wetting yourself! This check was for channelopathy, to do with sodium levels, a now known cause of sudden death syndrome. Well the god news was my test were all clear, so despite my constant palpatations etc I have a healthy heart. Then Dr Sharma changed his mind about checking Harry as as he was not there officially if something happened to him during the drug test they would be in serous trouble. So now he will have to go back, and if he is clear too then we will have the peace of mind that the children have not inherited anything that could cause sudden death, and we will have to accept the fact that we will never know why Matthew died. If they do find something with Harry then the children wil have to be screened, but they say not until they around 15/16yrs as the heart changes so much around that time, as Matthew was only 14 that scared me. But at last after 13yrs someone has listened, knows what they are talking about and has told us we have done the right thing. So we are halfway there. We left the hospital at 5.30pm and battled thru the traffic home and got back at 7.30pm, I am soooo tired. Mars and Frumpy will be pleased to know that my 38c bosom has been on show most of the day!

triplets · 27/09/2007 22:18

Excuse bad spelling, I am truly shattered and must be off to my bed!

Harrogatemum · 28/09/2007 08:35

Triplets - at least you finally have some answers, that must be so incredible after so many years, and as you say, someone is finally listening! Dont get me started on your 38C bosom, where is the jealous emoticon, oh here

frumpygrumpy · 28/09/2007 09:30

Triplets, what a day! I hope today you can find some time to do something good for yourself (if the weather with you is anything like it is with me then that would mean curling up in front of the telly with lunch and a steaming hot chocolate).

You are some way on the path to having some answers. I don't know which outcome is harder to live with but I would imagine knowing your 3 are clear would be a relief. My heart aches for Matthew and I haven't even met him. I can only say that although his time on earth was up I don't think he has left you for a minute. There was a reason he had to go we just haven't found that reason yet. He is such a beautiful boy.

Anyone have any tips on boosting self confidence in my DD1? She is 6.5. (I don't exactly ooze confidence myself and I wonder if I'm too strict sometimes).

TripletEm · 28/09/2007 18:22

Flippin eck!! Hats off to all mums of newborns!! I had totally forgotten what sleepless nights can do to you.DS is still poorly and being sick, don't know if he is actually taking any of the medicine in but I keep giving it to him anyway!! Been up all night again, then had to get the girls ready for school,god knows what I put in their lunch box today can't even remember making it,thought I might get a break when DH came home only he has major toothache and dissapeared to the dentist!!! It's times like these when I wish that I drank!!
How is everyone? Hope you are all having a good and stress free day.
Triplets:Amazing lady.

frumpygrumpy · 28/09/2007 18:40

Ooooh HM!!!! Wow! Get planning! This must be the nice bit, throwing caution to the wind and knowing that nothing you do right now is permanent. Why is 5pm too early to open the bar? Mine opens around 5pm. But my bar also shuts early so its all fair. Meet ups I fancy it..........but I just can't. Its so not me. It goes against the grain for me.

Momma, thats a pity. You keep sleeping as much as you can. You are doing so well and your humour is intact!! Well done lovely girl.

Em, thats crap. Are you doing 2 hourly meds? (perfectly safe) It really helps keep things steady and if its his temp that is a problem then keeping the temp steady will mean the difference between throwing up and not.

inamuckingfuddle · 28/09/2007 18:51

fg my bar opened around 5 ish don't worry, you're in badgood company

frumpygrumpy · 28/09/2007 19:01

a bit like this but with a more fiendish streak
