A bit of a rough patch for a while - my arthritis drugs trashed my liver and I'm now no longer allowed to take them. I had three weeks of misery where I just got worse every day. Every day I'd think that this would have to be the worst it could possibly be, only to find out I was wrong the next day. But after three weeks I got approval to start a new drug, and for the first time since Sam was born I actually have hope that the arthritis can be controlled and another child is looking more and more possible - assuming we can ever find the money to go back to IVF. It's a fortnightly injection and I had a day's relief after the first dose, then three days after the second dose. I have another week to go before my third dose, but the bad bits between doses are nowhere near as bad as before, so I'm finally feeling good about things!
The sensory disorder sounds quite full on, but it seems you have got onto things early, which will certainly help!
BW - thanks for the comment on my baby names, yeah I love them, so sad I can't keep using Milana's name every day, feel like shouting at everyone some days and saying 'that is who she was'. Hugs, my aunty has terrible arthritis and I know how bad it can get.
Laney - sorry you are having to go through all this stress with Grayson, it's tough. My 8 year old has Aspergers, it took them ages to diagnose it. I am aan Occupational Therapist by trade, although not working at the moment, so I realised something was wrong when he was young. Oh no, your health as well. Poor you, thinking of you. 10 hours on a night, WOW, swap babies for a week
Michelle - Hi
afm - just got the all clear from the Cardiologist, YAY! He's just had a sleep study done on Monday last week as well, so awaiting the results on that. He was having apnea's from been prem, he had a major one when he had his immunisations and completely stopped breathing but seems to be OK at the mo.
Audax! Lovely to hear from you again Now we need to get this thread pumping like back in the good old days when we were all pg. Excuse me while I go and round up some girls. Reet, Kellie, Dory, Ferrals, Mildez, oh oh, too many to list!!
-quick bit of background info:
I have 2 children. The first one was lost to m/c in 2008, I named him/her Shelby. The second is a little boy named Axel, born 2 months ago. A living breathing example of awesomeness, IMO. Right now I'm settling into motherhood, and actually starting to enjoy it at last! We had a rough start, with a very traumatic birth, and from what I'm told I was in huge trouble and very nearly died. Personally though, I felt pretty ok (physically) considering how sick I was meant to be, but then again that could have been the drugs talking. Anyway, I'm trying my best not to let the rough start colour my experience as a mum. Most of all, I don't want it to affect Axel's upbringing in a negative way.
So that's enough rambling from me, Hi to everyone and I'm looking forward to getting to know you all.
