it also brings back memories of when my best friends baby died at 4 months, DH didn't know him either, and had to support me through it, just as I will him.

I was saying just before DH phoned his friend, that it was my worse nightmare, and she was living, not knowing if her son would survive or not

Big hugs mieow, what a dreadful dreadful thing to happen.
Where is DD to? Can you call them and let them know you may be a little late or ask a friend to drop her off?

zephyrcat · 04/11/2004 13:13

ring ds's school and explain whats happened and that you may be a little late. They will look after him till you get there. Also prob best to re-arrange the other taxi if you can?

zephyrcat · 04/11/2004 13:14

Or go and pick them all up early today

Oh no, mieow. That poor family.

Lonelymum · 04/11/2004 13:16

Very sorry to hear your news. You don't really think it happens these days, even though you hear about cot death, etc. Surely someone else could help with picking up your children?

my mum is coming to help me, my dad will sit here and wait for DD2 in her taxi, and mum will help me get the other two, I just hope DS' wheelchair fits in her car.

i feel all foggy and know my house work needs doing, but am trying to stay together

If I were you, I would just want to go and get my children and hug them very close. Don't do the housework just because you think it should be done. This is a terrible, momentous occasion and it wouldn't be wrong to just sit and cry.

zephyrcat · 04/11/2004 13:22

Good to hear that your mum and dad are coming to help you out. I cant this this out of my head. I'm not a religious person but can't help feeling we should all say a little prayer for the family.

I want my kids too, but my mum said to leave them at school, nursey and preschool. I wouldn't be able to explain to DS why he has come out of school early anyway

Yes your mum is right. Better to keep things normal for your children. Give them a big hug this evening though! I will mine.
