I have double booked dd's party. please pray I can sort it out. I am gutted and so will she be if I have buggered it completely.

Hello all. Apologies for not being on for ages. Had a great week away though felt ill, but coped and it was just lovely to be away with good friends and the new camper was brilliant. Have got steadily worse since I came home though and this morning my specialist nurse rang to say I have my old friend pseudomonas back so it's back into hospital tomorrow for IVs.

Feeling rather bruised and just knackered out by it all really. Will this thing continue to progress at this rate? It scares me.

Had a quick look back - big congratulations to SES. and love to weegie. I don't have words. I can hardly type, but send love.

Not sure how long I'll be in, they'll let me home with IVs now I am trained but only when I am well enough, at the moment am pretty rotten so could be a few days. Prayers would be appreciated. will be on but my mobile a bit slow so not much probably.

Much prayer for each of you.

Was wondering how you were, mhd - good to hear from you, although less good to hear your news. Hope the rest in hospital does you good - physically and emotionally. Have some to brighten your bedside!

Still praying particularly for weegie, DO and Bob, jan, LM and more generally for all of you. Bird, how are you feeling today? How's that lovely dd of yours?

Prayers for everyone!

Mhd thinking of you x

Had a reassurance scan today with consultant, so far everything is fine with baby :)
My 20 week scan is in 3 weeks, hopefully then we'll find out boy/girl as today baby was stubborn and didn't want to show

Slightly better day here. Waiting for a delivery of home oxygen and a visit from the GP, who finally got in touch after us being at home for nearly a fortnight. He is not sure whether he can come himself or whether it is someone else's turn to do home visits. It depends on his schedule today.

Prayers for all, especially Expat's dd and UA's ds. And Beatrice of course.

do gp

suitcase found! (in euston)
dd's party rebooked.

prayers for a

GP just been. Our own GP even if he came with a student. More antibiotics and a morphine syrup to calm his breathing as the Brompton had advised.
Scares me to tatters, but he says, no need, it's just like taking ibuprofen for a cold.

Rather. Fed up here as waiting and for a bed. Doctor has seen me and is v apologetic that. Despite them sorting out my admission yesterday. There is not a bed ready. who knows. how long now. feel utterly. grotty.

Aaghh at phone typing

Today the bottom of my feet are burning, like I'm walking on hot coals - neuropathic pain, tile the phantom pain some people get in a lost limb. It's excruciating. I've had more painkillers than I've been prescribed and extra OTC stuff too but it's awful. I had a busy day yesterday I think that's why.

weegie . i am prayingy for you and will take more time to while i am in hospital. still.waiting but had xray. now. room being prepared so good.

praying that feet are not burning.

stuggling to type due to ds breaking the computer desk so answers are a bit short.

mhd any news of a bed?

do how are you doing?

Prayers for all.

Feeling a bit anxious. DD's head circumference is bigger than it should be. When she first came home from hospital it was on the 91st centile. Last week it was on the 98th. It may not be a problem but her weight is below the 50th and her length is on the 75th so her head is not in proportion to the rest of her body. The paediatrician that we saw last week about something unrelated said that I should keep an eye on it. When I measured her last night I found it had got even bigger. I googled it and wish I hadn't. A big head could indicate problems in the brain. I'm taking DD to the HV tomorrow and hope she will just tell me I'm being over anxious. Here's hoping...

My favourite brother and his wife have had 4 children and each had a mahoosive head but eventually their bodies caught up and they all look fab now. So I hope it's nothing to worry about lovely Jaffa and the hv puts you at ease.

The fact my Dad has removed me off fb and is still not talking to me is hurting tonight and on top of that I'm missing LM and need a good hug

Sorry that sounds like I thought they were ugly They weren't and aren't. My SIL did worry with her first about it all though and spoke to the GP etc.

eek jaffa. go to the gp if you are worried dr google is scary. hope the wait til tomorrow is not too long and that you sleep tonight.

I have 2 big headed children... and a big headed h

what a busy day! hoping for a good night...

been reading and praying today, couldn't type as had hands full

don't im sorry you are hurting thats difficult to deal with - the family stuff, and missing ML - hugs
jaffa praying for your dd its hard not to worry i hope everything is ok all we can do is put our hope and trust in God
mhd i trust you are all settled in your room now, hope things go ok for you and they treat you well
weegie so sorry to hear about your feet and all the pain - more prayers
DO great Bob has his medication now to help
red great that you got the party sorted
God well able to meet all our needs - i pray he does. those i haven't mentioned i am praying, God knows what we each need more than we do ourselves.

tomorrow afternoon i am seeing a girl from WA. quite nervous. Night night all

Jaffa - sorry you are worried about this. DS's head was on 98th centile and although he was born on 91st for weight, he dropped to 25th whilst his head remained on 98th. DD also has a big head (MW commented she'd not measured one that big in a while!) but no one seemed worried. My advice would be to put google away and see what HV says. Hopefully you will be reassured and there is no need for worry.

MomeRaths - sorry you're feeling down tonight. It's your Dad's loss and his decision. I know a hug from me won't be the same as one from LM but have one anyway (((blatant hug)))

MHD - sorry for this latest hiccup. Prayers that the treatment kicks in and you can get home soon.

Weegie - prayers for you and particularly that your feet will improve

DO - continued prayers for you and Bob. I'm sure GP meant to be reassuring re morphine syrup rather than flippant. It does sound scary but I can try to reassure you that morphine syrup is surprisingly frequently prescribed for a variety of reasons. The fact that Brompton wanted to initiate it and the benefits it will have are so positive, do try not to worry. If you want to know more, feel free to PM me.

Blue - pleased your reassurance scan went well. Prayers for the next scan and for a co-operative LO!

redwhiteandbluesusan - glad that suitcase got found and that you've managed to rebook DD's party.

Prayers also for Lost, Jan, Juggling, PA, Mary, Bird, Amber, TUO and anyone else I've missed.

All going ok here. Aoife is now 4 days old and trying to get BF established. I think it's going ok but MW coming for weigh in tomorrow so we'll find out a bit more then I guess!
MIL and SIL arrive for a 4 day visit tomorrow so prayers that that goes ok would be appreciated.

Jan - sorry I took ages typing that post so missed yours. Be assured of my prayers for your meeting with WA tomorrow.

hope the meeting goes well jan and brings you some clarity and understanding

omgoodness. I have had a narrow escape. it is the parents meeting for school tomorrow night. I though it wwas tonight and that i had missed it.I am still burning face and feeling sick and shaking.

I am turning up with the childen in tow as one babysitter has moved, one has been in hospital and health is no longer up to the children and ds will not let me out of the room at the moment anyway without being extremely traumatised.

Flying in quickly, scattering prayers a bit willy-nilly, and off to bed.

Train problems yesterday and today. Have spent something like 13 hours on trains in the last 2 days. Exhausted, and have got solid meetings 9-5 tomorrow, some of them difficult...

Going to get some sleep now, but have been thinking of you all on and off while stuck on Cross-Country Trains, and praying lots.

I went to bed crying and I've woke tearful. LM is off with work again this weekend until 1st July He is unlikely to be able to see me before he goes. He lives an hours drive away and is doing lots of extra work like painting or gardening for people, to earn money for the court fees, so if he's not flying he's working doing other things. I shouldn't be looking to him to make me feel better at my Dad's rejection anyway. Although we had a long chat over facebook last night (as it's cheaper) and it was lovely. He is a good man but he has his own struggles right now.

Why do I feel so pathetic, so many of you on here with far worse struggles than mine. The DCs are noticing something is wrong though, I need to snap out of it.
