hi

just got back fromn the hospital. Its been an exhausting 5 days. on the 1st day there i met one of the producers from channel 4, and had a chat. they are very very interested in peters story and the effect it has on the whole extended family. So atm am trying to decide if i want to be filmed or not. i think i will say yes as this will highlight the massive shortage of donor organs available.

Peter is in a bit of pain as the VAD seems to have moved. ouch. they have done mroe tests but everything seems to be fine otherwise. DD2 has seen the actual pump and we explained things to gher, she seemed to take it in her stride so hopefully dd1 reaction will be the same.

Will update more i na bit, need a cuppa lol.!!

Thought you were going to say, MN made it worth it..........all these MNers versus a mere baba, are you hormonal woman ???

Miaou · 07/08/2005 19:42

Just bear in mind that once it airs you will be inundated with media requests for interviews, if your experience is anything like mine

misdee · 07/08/2005 19:40

it'll be filmed over a 6month or so period. it will hopefully be screened next spring/summer.

here it is

Bloody good job I've got a sense of humour, it got to the point where it (almost) wasn't funny any more! However ds is worth it

The documentary sounds really good Misdee, they are likely to be very supportive of you. Is it a one-off, or will they film/follow you over a long period of time?

misdee · 07/08/2005 19:37

yup lol. i will leave the screen on mumsnet homepage with no screensaver set up.

all that stopping and starting miaou, u had me on the edge of my seat.

its for a documentry following people and their families whilst they wait for a transplant. the effect it has on everyone, not just the patient. think they'll be filming me doing my incrediable juggling acts.

You cant just say In all the excitement of giving birth .......it were a bloody saga...........post a link woman, post a link.

Miaou · 07/08/2005 19:22

Hello Misdee, glad you had a nice time with Peter this week. In all the excitement of giving birth I've missed this about being filmed ... is it for a documentary? I was in a doc about our family when we moved to Scotland four years ago, if you've any questions about what it's like being filmed feel free to ask. Glad that dd2 has reacted well to seeing Peter .

MrsGordonRamsay · 07/08/2005 19:19

A little hunkerbirdy tells me that you are one hell of a woman.

It's OK.............I didn't mention your name.......no HM, Misdee has no idea who I am talking about...............ROFL

misdee · 07/08/2005 19:15

i was staying at the hospital last week, just got back today. it was nice being able to spend the days with peter. we went to see him after breakfast, went about 12, till about 3pm as dd3 has a long nap after lunch and wont sleep in the buggy, she has to be lying flat. then went back, had tes together (well i had a slimmers foodpack, dd2 had whatever, and dd3 had a bbreastfeed lol), then said good night and took the girls back to the room we were in for bed.

Misdee, I was away on holiday and missed what has been going on with Peter (I'm still not sure!). Just hope Peter is doing well and getting stronger. You and the girls too are all OK! xxxx

Won't be able to see you on C4 as I don't have it here, but go for it!!!! I'm already sure you are a star!
