thanks for the welcome back ladies
As for a BOB....hmmm no fantastic plastic for me thanks...wonder if they are made out of recycled plastic and if so what they were before hand???? hehhehehehe
I wouldnt trade my special needs guy for the world and I agree, atleast I'll have one of my babies at home with me for ever. He was number 2 for us and I go tmy tubes clamped so I could concentrate on helping him...never got offered any councilling...here I am one reversal later and number 4 on the way (which mind you is letting me know she's alive by kicking me in the woo hoo every min lately) and I couldnt be happier.
I so need to unpack the car of the grociers and I cant be stuffed!!!!!

I'm with you maz. Although Kane will be completly normal after some ops, everyone says "well i guess you dont want anymore now"!!?? What the?? I wouldn't care if all my kids were special needs!!!

**storm** · October 11th, 2007, 05:04 PM

Whoopise, didn't notice the new thread!!
People are so rude suggesting that because you have a special needs child you automatically wont have any more.
If I could I would keep on having babies till my body stopped he he.
Even though they drive me nuts at times (like yesterday

)

**Pretty Butterfly** · October 11th, 2007, 05:08 PM

He he he... I'm the same!!! Would pop till I dropped!! The only thing stopping me after Kane is the money we need for his surgeries. Can't afford too many babies, or too many more that may have clefts too!!

**maz** · October 11th, 2007, 07:03 PM

I told my ob to put a zipper in me after this baby....would make life much easeir...dont know abou tthe rust factor but..hmmmmm..........
Im craving cigars........

**storm** · October 11th, 2007, 07:08 PM

Cigars? ewww Maz, they are filthy. Hope you get over it soon.

My life is so full of dramas ATM, this going wrong & that gosh I am sick to death of it. I dont wanna move now I've had it. Why cant it be simple, or better still why cant we be rich so we can pay somebody to move more us? Why does DH have to be so stubborn & want to build him self & why why why??? Going to put the phone on silent so I dont have to hear his crap anymore. he he he he that'll teach him.

**maz** · October 11th, 2007, 07:45 PM

Storm - take the phone off the hook and say that one of the kids must have knocked it off, it works for me

**storm** · October 11th, 2007, 07:48 PM

Last night I never hung up from him, he he He never said anything, it's getting too much It was an open line from about 9pm till 1 when I went to bed.

**Pretty Butterfly** · October 11th, 2007, 09:44 PM

Oh Jodie, he is gorgeous!!!
My G/F had a baby with cleft, her's was pretty bad, through her nose or something??? Not too sure, anyway when you look at her now she is 3 you would have no idea!! All the best for Kanes op-xx-

**gorgeous_lea** · October 11th, 2007, 10:27 PM

He has the most beautiful big blue eyes, very cute.
If you dont mind me asking Jodie, how many op's does he have to have??

**Pretty Butterfly** · October 11th, 2007, 10:28 PM

Thanks, I think he's gorgeous too!!! Kanes nose is gone inside too... when he opens his mouth, its all just missing!!! As much as people think I should be really sad, I just love eveything about how he is now. I wish I didnt have change how he looks cause he's perfect. It'll be strange when he has a new face!!

**shazza** · October 11th, 2007, 10:30 PM

jodie hes so cute
courtney still down shes been asleep nearly all day although shes had a bit toast and a drink so at least shes had something .i think kates coming down with it as welll she been saying she feels crappy and she having cat naps on the lounge tonight .im hoping it dosent go through the whole family.

**Pretty Butterfly** · October 11th, 2007, 10:30 PM

There'll be lots!! Lip repair at 5 months, palette at 18mnths, gum at 5, dental for a long time!! Where he's missing his gum they do a bone graft. he wont have any teeth there so they'll all be fake.

**gorgeous_lea** · October 11th, 2007, 10:36 PM

The poor little thing having to go threw all that, but i'm sure your positive attitude will help him cope.
I hope they don't all get sick too jes, for your sake, it's terrible when they all start throwing up at once aarrrrggghhhh
I'm off to bed, having hassles with my ex and my 13 yr old son atm, so feel like i want to just sleep and forget about it all for awhile, wishful thinking though, i'll probably just stare at the roof all night, oh well, have to at least try, night all.

**shazza** · October 11th, 2007, 10:33 PM

oh the poor thing but think it will be worth it in the end
that sound expensive is medicare covering it?

**Pretty Butterfly** · October 11th, 2007, 10:38 PM

Some is covered. The facial ones are, dental is up to us. Yeah, very expensive!! Trying not to worry till we get there!!We went to sydney and got a world renound plastic surgeon for his face. The same surgeon that done that little Sophie girl that got run over twice.
