Where is CD? She hasn't been around for a few days and I see from her last post that she was very tired and rushed. Hope everything is OK for you CD.

Nanou1 · 22/09/2006 10:45

podmog. will pray but go to your gp or call nhsdirect. 3 days is a long time and can cause dehydration. x

nearlythree · 22/09/2006 12:17

Hello all, will be b rief as friend's baby on my knee! Will pray for you all

DumbledoresGirl · 22/09/2006 13:34

Sorry, I realise my post must have looked quite abrupt! I am often here reading your prayer requests and seeing how you all are so I feel I know you all, but I don't usually post as I find it quite hard.

My mother is making small improvements. I believe she is out of physical danger (ie not expected to die) but she has a long long way to go mentally. She is very confused, has little short term memory and may have problems with her vision. That said, my sister visited her yesterday and said she was able to name her children and even some of her grandchildren, which is certainly an improvement on when I last saw her.

I would like to visit her this weekend, but tbh, I am so physically exhausted myself I don't know if I will. I have spent most of the week without dh, worrying about all sorts of things in addition to my mother, not getting enough sleep, etc. Hard to believe our 2 week holiday in Cornwall was only 3 weeks ago. I feel so drained. I could do with a tonic of some sort.

Nanou1 · 22/09/2006 13:41

Hi DG . your post was fine !!!!! thanks for letting us know for your mum. you must be utterly exhausted with all that stress but it is wonderful that she recognised children and grandchildren . busy bee today. and where is naswm?! . marybs.... hope you are ok. i still have your book; should i send it back to you or your friend? if so can you email her address at annelj at hotmail dot co dot uk please. thankyou!

katzg · 22/09/2006 16:44

well back from the childrens with mixed feelings, DD2 has to hav eher MMR as a day case incase she has a major reaction to it, she also has to have an ultrasound of her liver just to check its ok, her blood platelet levels are a little bit high but all in all they aren't worried! but still no real answers or solutions.

could use some prayers please

Nanou1 · 22/09/2006 16:51

will do katz... how worrying for you nevertheless... hugs your way

PandaG · 22/09/2006 17:35

Hi Nanou!

Katz, how worrying for you. If you need a hand with DD1 while DD2 is having scan or MMR let me know

DG, thanks for the update. Will pray for continued recovery for your Mum, and also that you get a bit of respite this weekend you poor love.

MaryBS · 22/09/2006 18:05

Help! Very quick visit. Can anyone find me a Jerusalem translation of the bible online please? I need copies of the readings printing off for tomorrow's wedding - my sister has just dropped this on me.

Failing that, I'll substitute the version I prefer - the NRSV, if anyone can point me in that direction online, save me typing them out...

Sorry to be so abrupt - in the middle of my DS's birthday...! He's 5 today, God bless him!

HRHQueenOfQuotes · 22/09/2006 18:07

I could really do with some prayers re this thread.

Thanks

Notquitesotiredmum · 22/09/2006 18:49

Praying for you QoQ. Hard.

harrisey · 22/09/2006 20:32

QoQ have replied on your other thread. Your whole family are in our prayers here tonight.

longwaytogo · 22/09/2006 20:41

omw QofQ just read all of your thread and the others, you have sooo much going on. Take a deep breath and talk, talk, talk to dh. He will calm down i'm sure and once he hears you out re what abortion would def do to you and your relationship then i;m sure he'll think again. Hugs to you.

Cd where are you. can't keep up atm, should learn to sit her with pen and paper (useless emotion) my dd was signed off by paed on Tues too - told me developmentally she is fine, jsut very shy.

Praying for all iwth concerns with children, they are sooo stressful and i've had enough of being a parent this week just feel very very battered and tired.

longwaytogo · 22/09/2006 20:46

marybs am looking to see if we have jerusalem translation on our disks, but seems i been not much help thus far don't hold your breath.

MaryBS · 22/09/2006 21:30

Thanks lwtg - I've hand-typed them now. I decided it was easiest!

nearlythree · 22/09/2006 21:36

notsotiredmum, the evening out didn't happen, all three children got colds, we were up all night for several nights and babay ds is on antibiotics, so we had fish and chips instead! Thanks for asking. We hope to do it next month some time. Still can't get dh to hear what I am saying and I don't see how I ever will.

Dd2 got on fine at the hospital, she has been signed off so hopefully now that mummy is done with having babies we won't need to go back there for a long time! She still needs treatment for her anaemia but the gp can deal with that.

nanou, dh's friend is very ill indeed, he has tumours everywhere and there is no treatment. He probably has a month or two to live, no more. It is very hard for his wife. Sadly they couldn't have children. Dh went to see him this week, they hadn't seen each other for years and dh is very upset by it, it has hit him hard.

Mary lives in Kenya so we don't hear from he rvery often, but I am so pleased that she is doing well. Our dds get such a lot from her being a part of our family, too. Thank you for your prayers.

Can I ask for prayers for baby ds, I saw our gp today and he thinks he has bronchiolosis, although he thinks it will go now he is on antibiotics. He does think though that he will be prone to this each time he gets a cold and that we need to watch out for asthma as he gets older, too. But at least is feeding well and looking bright, thank God.

Also a quick prayer for dd1, she is loving 'big' school but is coming home so tired and wrung out we get massive tantrums, it is like she is not our child. Today she hit me for the first time ever. It is causing a horrible atmosphere right at the time when we should be enjoying each other's company after being apart all day.

katzg · 22/09/2006 22:08

thanks PandaG, will bear it in mind, just waiting now for the appointments to come through, if you see purpleturtle can you let her know. Will try and ctach up with her but have a busy weekend and off to nante early next week.
