SOL - so sorry to hear about your gran but very glad you got to see her when you did. Have you told B yet?
JS - lovely to have you back and glad you had such a good time.
CAZ - it was very scary for a couple of seconds. With a police officer standing on my door at 7am ish saying they've had a call about welfare all sorts of things went through my mind. Although they were very quickly replaced with concern for my neighbour when I realised what it was all about. Maia was a bit worried by it all too and was asking lots of questions on the way to school, as well as being relieved for my neighbour that she is, so far, ok I was also relieved from a selfish POV that I didn't have to tell M she had died as I think that would have really upset her. That sounds awful doesn't it?! Hopefully you all kwim!
Got Nathan's test results this morning and all clear! Blood count was borderline, everything else negative or normal. Feeling very relieved. Was talking to a friend the other day whos son had similar symptoms to N and so did her nephew. Turned out her son has diabetes but they put her DN's symptoms down to a growth spurt. Am wondering if that is what it was with N, it would explain the high ALP levels last time as that can be caused by sudden bone growth. And would also explain why he is seeming suddenly so much better the last couple of weeks if growth spurt has stopped and ALP levels are now normal again.
Right have to get on with packing and cleaning although only so much packing I can do as I have run out of big boxes J was getting me boxes but apparently the line that used big boxes has now ended and all he can get are piddly little ones. Have posted a wanted on freecycle so hopefully get some there. If not moving is going to take a lot longer!!!
Only 1 week today Aaaaaaaaaaaargh
