I was meant to have my first childfree day since mid October today instead I have all 3 home

I cried

Ds2 has an inflamed hip - had it since Tuesday- something that follows a viral infection apparently. He's OK but has to rest. Was meant to be going back to hospital for a reviiew today that I'll have to cancel.

DS1 has been up since 4.30am with constipation and overflow (yuck). Common in autism but I thought we'd avoided it. Explains all the dreadful muscle spasms etc we've been getting though- knew it was biomedical.

Ds3- meant to be at his CM's but can't get him there (because of having ds1 and ds2).

No help tonight (mum xmas shopping) and dh on rare night out.

Where's the wine?

I'm off email now till Jan the 9th so checking in here to say hope it turns up okay, it was in last nights post so fingers crossed it'll be with you today / tomorrow. Hope it works for him.

Thanks ever so much TC. And i have had my first childfree day today (although was almost mushed on the dual carriageway by a large piece of corrugated iron flying off the lorry in front- I'd just pulled out to overtake).

Have a goood xmas!

Oh my goodness, how scary! That's awful, glad you're ok.

I had a meeting with the paedeatrician today and she's prescribed her movicol. Fingers crossed, in fact everything crossed. If it works and she goes more than once a week I'll be the happiest person, as will DD1 I'm sure.

We also had the hell that is a blood test to check her thyroid again so we'll see what the results bring.

Hope you have an uneventful weekend, as in no fences blowing away, no more exploding ovens, lorries throwing things at you and so on
Sure we'll 'meet' inbetween now and the day that is Xmas but just incase, wishing you a Merry Xmas too and a truly happy and healthy 2007.

Ah Happy Christmas to you too and I hoope the movicol gets her moving! @ blood test!
