Back from a wet and windy wedding in the south-west this weekend! A very nice weekend it was, despite the weather.

Intrigued, wondering what bes's ds has done...

Thanks everyone for your prayers! I'm wide awake as the IVs seem to have started to work already this time, I have tremendous buzzing in my feet and hands
It's supposed to get better every time but I wasn't expecting it so soon, it's a magnificent blessing!!

Praying for all, very glad to hear IVs working already for Weegie, and that MHD can have the rest of her IVs at home.

Prayer request from me - patience with my DC please. DD in particular seems to be winding me up at every available opportunity!

I think I am feeling a little sensitive about his behaviour after the comment from the head teacher.

Weegie, hurrah!
Praying for each of you.

PS please may I ask for prayers for friend Y, whose fiance has just died of a heart attack only three months from their wedding that was to be in September. Just heartbreaking...

prayers - for patience panda and that is awful amber, just terrible. so sorry to hear that.
red i am sorry you are feeling sensitive, i thought that was out of order for her to say that about your ds she probably doesn't even know what he is really like.

please pray also for me i had a difficult day yesterday and just need Gods restoration for today and this week, just want him to be able to lift me up from the places im in and use me

It was a bit tantamount to "you may not know how to deal with him, but it looks easy to me," that headteacher's comment... Ignore her, bes; life's too short. Having said that, ds has improved quite a bit in his time in reception, which I put down to getting older and leaving toddlerdom behind, but the head can probably take some of the credit for her staff, too... (Still wouldn't react well to her saying, "Ha ha, you didn't know what to do but we did," though...)

Been lurking as well and praying!
Finding this week very difficult... tomorrow is Sterre's first birthday... where did that year disappear to?

Dear blue - thinking of you this week and tomorrow.

Is there anything you can do tomorrow to make the day any easier, and remember Sterre with others who will understand ?

lurking and praying.

Praying loads. For you all, been following this on my phone in hospital.

I'm very tired but also, literally, buzzing with the effect of the IV. It's hard to cope with, you can't tune it out.

4 weeks to the next one. But every time I get a little better!

That's very good to hear weegie

Thanks for thinking of us too, sometimes it's nice to wonder if someone is !

A shy, "Hi" to everyone. I've not been on this thread for ages due to lots of other things.

Just wanted to thank everyone for their prayers. DS got his report home from school today and, in spite of him transitioning with his whole school to another school and being very upset because of it, his report is great. I'm so proud of him . We're also seeing good progress in him with his social skills .

DD also got her report home and it is also great . Her confidence is growing.

Praying for everyone and thanks again.

Always lovely to see returners, especially with such uplifting news. Blessings on you and your family.

Great news from Weegie too and from MHD, both returners from hospital.

I'm afraid we are still struggling somewhat. We had great service from our pharmacy who broke all bureaucracy rules to deliver a mouth spray for Bob without which he cannot use his 'night machine'. But we had a better day than yesterday and the sun was shining.

Am sad and v disappointed with DH. Some good friends are immigrating to the other side of the world and are having a leaving do a couple of days before they leave. We were told about their party six weeks ago and replied we would come. DH was going to book a hotel room (the do is 2hrs drive from here). We got the "official invite" from them today. DH has tried to find somewhere to stay and there is nothing available anywhere nearby. so I've just had to write an apologitic email to our friends to say that we won't be coming. I don't want them to move because chances are, unless they come back here to visit, we won't ever see them again. And now we won't get to see them before the go.

I'd have made him drive there and back Ginger

Must be so frustrating though.

I feel like I haven't stopped all day and am exhausted.

I was considering it, but it's an evening do and not really fair on DS as we would have to take him with us. The original plan was that DS would have been with us at the party until he needed to go to bed and tehn DH and I would take turns to be with him in the hotel. There are a handful within walking distance of each other. Unfortunately there is also a wedding on the same day so, obviously those guests have taken all the rooms.

Can you go by yourself, gingercurl? There might be more options for bedding down somewhere for the night if it's just you.

Hello all! Welcome back, creatovator [waves]! Praying...
... for gingercurl, for a solution to the party problem (for what it's worth, I'm with lost, and would suggest you going on your own and either finding some way to stay over or just driving back afterwards);
... for MHD, that you feel much better soon, and thanks that you can at least have your treatment out of hospital;
... for weegie for the buzzing which means that some feeling is back, and that the buzzing is not too annoying so that you manage to get some sleep tonight;
... for DO and Bob, for another better day tomorrow and thanks for helpful healthcare professionals;
... for creatovator, for prayers answered and thanks for happier dc;
... for MomeRaths, for a less exhausting day tomorrow and good rest tonight;
... for Blue in what is going to be a really tough week for you - praying for strength as you remember your beloved Sterre, who will always be part of your lives even though she was in them for only a short time, and for hope for the future, for the whole family;
... and for jan, BES, Juggling, lost and amber... thinking of you all.

Also remembering PA as she gears up for her big move. Praying that she is getting support from her church here, that all her dc are staying well, and that she's not too busy/exhausted.

And finally remembering expat's dd (who had her 9th birthday today), the friend of amber whose fiance died suddenly (so ) and also the family known to someone I've been in touch with today through work - the father is critically ill in ICU and may not survive the night. (I can't give any more detail as I don't know them personally... but I know that God knows them and pray that He will sustain them through this terrible time.)

Going on my own wouldn't be right as they are as much DH's friends as mine. I know DH is as disappointed about the party as I am and he's just as unhappy about them going, too.

Where is it Ginger? If it was near a mumsnetter you could stay with them?

Have been praying as I read through. Welcome back Creatovator

TUO thankyou for your lovely prayer for me/us.

Urgent pray needed, if you have a second please, for DD1, who is struggling massively with the reality of us leaving her in 27 days time. She has been having a major meltdown about everything and anything over the past few days and I feel so helpless. I love her so much and she is hurting so much right now.
Life is totally manically busy, but less stress at work now, so that's good. Last jabs today - another rabies one.

Have a good day everyone. MHD ((hugs)) I am glad you are out of hospital and I hope you can enjoy a little sunshine today.
Weegie great to hear about your latest treatment working so well. Hope that you, too can have some sunshine on you today!
Ginger that you might not see your friends before they go.

Prayers...
