Welcome to the new thread! !
New and old are welcome here

Al and jess say thank you xxx

Blimey. Happy First Birthday to Al!

Spent the best part of this morning kicking our heels (or not, in H's case) waiting for x-ray. H has done something to her ankle which could end up being a major problem, but too early to tell yet. X-ray told us nothing of course (she doesn't x-ray well).

Hope Hs foot turns out to be minor R3d. Such fun hanging around in hospital

His peg site is leaking what do you think....

hope h's foot is ok x

thank you Al had a lovely day not doing much lol bit had some cake!! so did el, then vommed it
happy birthday to your niece too xx

hope H ankle is ok

She was pretty ill yesterday

currently sat in anc and next to me is the most annoying woman with 2 men. Swearing about everything
sooo glad my dc arent with me to hear their disgusting language!

Wonder why 2 men?? Maybe future guests on Jeremy Kyle lol!

I'd say a bit of over granulation, looks not too bad though. I was on my phone before which doesn't show pictures!

Not sure where anc is but agree with the swearing. Never know when to say anything or just shut up. Not sure about the leaking.

Hi all,
To me anc is ante natal clinic Swearing not appropriate but would not have the guts to say anything what bloody wuss.
Re agree with over granulation and I find Annabel's leaks all the time. I just put Vaseline round the site a pop a buddy button on. I do this all the time.

Granny was right.
proteinuria again.
Lots of kidney pain :(

They were trying to figure out when she fell pregnant exact date and time
they were pretty young which is hard for me to say is im only 22 lol

You can't teach your Granny to suck eggs ----yuk

DGD what is your BP?

Love to scumbags, off gallivanting today with some old mates

Highest bp has been is 132 systolic can't remember the other but yesterday it was 112/64 I think so bp was fine they have sent urine of for ucr? To measure how much protein there is in it. If its under 30 they said that's fine over isnt.

How are you granny x

only 22! blimey I feel old now

What can I say I just love babies

Hi Grandaughter maybe it should be Greatgrandaughter

BP is quite good, keep it that way please and that is an order!!

Hope all scallywags are well, mine not too bad but still seem able to throw a spanner in the works

I feel bad now lol
Im 22 but a hell of a lot more mature than the average 22yr old. Guess I've had to with what the baby's have been through.

happy mothers day

Ha ha don't feel bad for being young lol, I loved being 19/20ish really good time in my life, but I wish I'd gone travelling and seen some of the world before I settled down.
I had El when I was 27, which I think made me grow up a bit, and having Alex has made me in to a sour old bag, who needs to lose a stone

Fully endorse what Giddy has said!! You are amazing DGD. There is no way I could have coped with what you are dealing with. Probably giggling up a corner of the pub

Actually the Kray brothers drank in the pub next to the hospital where I worked and did buy me 1/2 pint shandy on occasions I loved the East End!!

Hope is all well on Mothers' Day despite 1 hrs less sleep
Love to all you little (s)tinkers!!
XX

Hope the silence means everyone is well

We're all pretty well ok apart from the snots and baby al covered in hives and needing the doc at 2 am! Not sure if allergy or virus? Settled now.

We are busy organising extra SALT and Bowen therapy and a huge meeting in school tomorrow to see if the TA can give BD to Elbear. Lots or research and printouts and I have even done a food safety and hygiene certificate to guarantee I am not poisoning DGS!

Plus decorating the hallway

All well here.
In middle of operation fatten ds up. He is skin and bones and has not gained any weight since last summer - he's just over 36kg at 15 (he's short too) and unless we can get him to eat more/eat higher calorie stuff we may have to add an extra tube feed in to his day .

He loves fruit and veg (no problem him having his seven or ten a day!) so we are to discourage him having so many and to eat more higher calorie things. Easier said than done - school have been doing the heathy eating indoctrination too well and he won't touch anything vaguely fattening and ttells us off!!

Ahhh I see you are a little busy then sneeze! How did thr meeting go?

Star we've had to increase his feeds and he gets an extra 100mls/cals a day and he looks better for it. Hes got taller (first thing he does when he has extra cals is grow taller rather than fatter)

Ds sat on the potty and had a wee! 4x!
Sooooo proud of him!

Oldsneeze I fail to see their problem.it is bloody food end of!!

Well done DGGS for doing wees X 4 what a good boy.

Star hope this doesn't sound flippant. DS like your DS is 15 and weighs about 34K and do you know I no longer worry. He looks healthy, has healthy hair, strong nails and lovely skin and is rarely ill. Fortunately paediatrician and dietician agree with me. He can only tolerate 950 calories/day. TBH I would rather him thin than fat.

Have had problems with Jay's J tube what a palaver!!! But now sorted.

Hope all scallywags are OK good luck for the holidays I feel exhausted just thinking about it. On the upside no dragging them out of bed @ 06.00 for 07.30 transport!!
