Making hay while the sun shines and always adoring Beatrice.

[cupofteaplease]

I have chosen the thread title this time, because current circumstances means the sun isn't always shining for Beatrice at the moment. Indeed, she is currently in hospital in a fair amount of discomfort. However, when the sun does shine, and we have bright and clear days, we pack in as much as we can.

When we brought Beatrice home from SCBU, we had the consultant's words ringing in our ears, 'Take her home and make some memories.' I feel confident and proud that we have made a treasure trove of memories, however long Beatrice's life may be. She continues to be surrounded by so much love and adoration from her family and I feel this love has helped her to thrive.

During the difficult days, such as these, we pray hard for peace and calm, and for a quick resolution so we can take our darling girl home and make even more precious memories with our beautiful Beatrice.

As with all other threads, same rules apply , read if you want to, post if you can, but above all, please spare some positive thoughts or prayers for Beatrice.

So pleased to hear that bea is much better. Keeping fingers crossed that she has good news following the ultrasound.

Much love Cup, thinking of you and little Bea the fighter :)

Cup, stay positive and I hope the ECG etc. shows there isn't much to worry about.

I have a friend who is in her 40s with an enlarged heart - they only found it when she was pg with her 4th baby in her late 30s! Doesn't seem to have held her back any (although she is now on medication for it to stop it getting any bigger) - hope that helps with the positivity (I know my friend doesn't have any other of Bea's conditions going on but still).

You won't believe this... I'm such a klutz. I was putting Beatrice to bed when I got tangled in her melee of tubes. I lost my balance and pulled out her NJ tube. Pulled it clean out, along with her o2 prongs.

So now, I have to take her to Oxford a&e and wait around for a surgeon to place a new one under fluroscopy, if there even is a surgeon available tonight.

I'm so tired I could cry! Better laugh instead...!

Bugger :o Best to try and see the funny side as you say... Here, have a , you're a great mum Cup.

Didn't someone on another thread immac their baby once by accident (think it's in Classics now)? So, it could be worse...

Oh Sweetheart. That's a bugger for you . Being tired and stressed makes us all clumsy. Will be thinking of you.

Kate we chose the same word. , < links little fingers ,chanting "bugger , bugger, bugger ">

Ps Cross posts I hadn't read yours.

Oh sweetheart, what a difficult thing for you to happen. Prayers all the way to Oxford and back and prayers that it will all go very, very smoothly.

Tis a very useful word for many an occasion...

Jeez cup you and your girl don't do things by halves do you?! I hope your not at Oxford long. X

I stepped on dh's drip tube in the hospital last year and yanked it out of the bag

Hope it's all gone smoothly in Oxford. You must be so relieved that Bea has picked up again. Hugs for you all x

Sending love and hugs. What brave people you are. Big positive vibes and thoughts to you and gorgeous Bea xxx

Ah cup - that's once in however many nights of putting her to bed! Everyone has the occasional accident. Hope you get seen tonight and quickly too. xx

Oh no - I too am hideously clumsy.

Hope you got sorted.

Hope you aren't still waiting. As others have said, was an accident, a pretty inconvenient accident, but your girl is still a fighter.
Positive vibes from here.

Oh cup what a b*er. Hope they managed to sort it quickly at Oxford. These things always seem to happen just when you really need a break from hospitals.
Hope you are both home again soon. Take care

I haven't read this thread since Bea's birthday as I couldn't find it but it is such an up and down, smiles and tears, for us so goodness knows how it is for you, Cup. I often think about Bea even though I don't post often and with so many people with you and her she has more love than anyone else I don't know iyswim.

Best wishes for today. Will be thinking of you all.

Hope you are ok? And that you got the tube sorted and some rest you sound (quite rightly considering the last few days/weeks/months!!!) shattered. Big hugs xx

Hi everyone. Ive had a text that Bea's tube went in yesterday, but they've been admitted at Oxford as Cup's poor girl is in a bad way. She is on morphine for the pain, but is still in a lot of discomfort. Please can you all keep Bea in your prayers.

Thanks for update. Prayers being said here.

Thanks Sally for the update. Come on lovely Bea, lots of love. Xxxx

And here.

Come on Bea - thinking of you and your lovely mum Cup

Sending lots of positive thoughts & love to you all cup

Oh dear, poor Bea. Come on my lovely. x
