Man, Im still wondering when all of us in here are going to get a better run of things.
Ive discovered yet another rash on Jett today. On his arms and legs. Big patches that are almost like bruising but arent.He's not complaining; he isnt sick or has a fever. Just these patches of rash. Im starting to get really panicky now that there is something wrong with him; maybe immune disorder or something. It cant possibly be normal for kids to get rashes constantly without being sick. He's had a strawberry mark-like rash on his arm since he got sick with double ear infection at 9mths old and its slowly grown up his arm as he gets older; fades if you touch it but if he is sick, hot or upset it gets redder. So weird.
So now I have to try and get a GP appt sometime in the next million years and try to convince her to send him for testing or even allergy screening.
And Uni starts in 2 weeks and we want to try and move to DHs house as an interim til we get a new one.
LEE _ You wouldn't be human if you didn't feel ripped off about DD & you are rightly so to feel ripped off - you HAVE been ripped off & DD has also been ripped off. I know it's not the same, but Alan has missed so much of both my girls lives. Jessica was almost 3 & Claudia was only 6 months old when he went away. This is his 3rd year working away & never once has he been here for the girls birthdays or their parties, he has been home for my birthday once & funnily enough he re-arranged his schedule to be home for his fathers 50th late last year Why couldn't he 're-arrange' sometimes to be home for his own children's birthdays??? It really leaves me . I know he works away to better US as a family, but it's so not fair. He has never seen Jessica go off on her first day of school & misses out on the kids when they pass a swimming stage or just the little things. I am very lucky that he does get flown home for Christmas. I'm not trying to say I have it as tough as you, just that I can completely understand how you feel.
FREYA _ I hope Michelle (AKA Meredith Grey), can shed light on the rash thing, but it doesn't sound right & it doesn't look right either to you, so it must not be right. Do you think he has an allergy to something really simple at home? Like washing powder or something? Or it could be to medication? The rash from the ear infection when he was 9m could that be from the medication? & did they give him medication this last time for the 'chicken pox' episode? Just clutching at straws???
MAKO _ THanks for asking, yes, I have got kisses the last 2 days when I dropped her off at Pre-Primary, she has settled in like I would never have imagined (She was separated from her bestie that she made last year), & she is singing songs that her teacher has taught them & LOVING the craft/collage table & bringing me home some very 'unique' pieces of artwork. Love that Sage is getting the hang of the TT & I love especially that he prolongs the hi-5's & cheering to the enth degree!
He is allergic to penicillan so he doesnt have it; hasnt had any antibiotics in months. Im wondering if its a food allergy or something like that. Someone mentioned ringworm to me; it looks a bit like the photos I googled but not enough for me to think its that. Plus we arent anywhere around cats and the like. And they havent been outside anywhere other than kindy and I bet they are pretty stringent about cleaning & the sandpit and stuff.
OMG Jo, THANK YOU!!! You wonderful wonderful woman, you have just made my year! I hadn't even realised I had been RAk'ed yet and I just can't thank you enough! I feel so very undeserving though, why me? Surely there are way more deserving people here?! Thank you again lovely, you have just brought a huge smile to my face. I can't seem to find you on FB though! How did you go today? I will be checking back in later to check up on you. I have to admit I am also a snapfish addict and have also just sent off my last order. i love to have all my photos sorted in albums where you can see them anytime, seems such a waste to have them on the computer only where you don't really look at them. Once my order arrives I am going to be VERY busy updating the albums as I have gotten quite behind! DD also likes to look at pictures of herself but unlike Sophie she doesn't realise that the baby pics she is looking at are of herself!!
michelle - not long to go now sweetie, I hope you are still keeping busy. I am confident that all will be well though. I just hate that you're going through this, as if you haven't been through enough already. I wish there was something I could do to make everything ok.
Lee - it must be so difficult for you at times like these knowing what your first DH is missing out on. I can only imagine how sad it must make you and how unfair it must seem. For what it's worth, I think you have done an amazing job of bringing your kids up after going through losing your DH and I have so much admiration for you.
Jayne - I wanted to let you know that I also think you are important! I love your posts, they are always so upbeat and funny and you always have lovely things to say to all of us, so don't forget that you matter to us!
Lisa - I am so happy for your SIL, that is fantastic news, and I will be praying for a sticky little bub for her. How are you feeling now? I hate all those uncomfortable niggles and the constant worry if it is normal or not! I felt heaps more pressure down below with DS and found that a lot of pains started earlier than with DD. I can't believe how close you are now, that seems to have flown by!
inertia - big big coming your way sweetie
freya - wow, the countdown for uni is on now - not long to go at all! Sorry to hear about the rash. DD has also had a strange rash lately and I have no idea what caused it. She also isn't in any pain, has no fever etc and it goes away quickly. I may also need to visit the GP soon to see what is going on.
Janie - how are you going today? Thinking of you constantly sweetie and hoping that gorgeous little bub of yours stays in there as long as possible.
mako - hehe on Sage wanting as many high fives and cheering as he can get by going potty multiple times! DD has asked to sit on the toilet a couple of times lately, even made us shut the door and leave her in peace the other day, only she doesn't do anything!! I think just run through your history with Dr S, maybe have a good think about exactly what you want to say before you go. I remember being sooo nervous before my appointment with the specialist when I wanted some recurrent m/c testing done. I was a wreck and came across like a total basketcase, so I am sure you will do better than me! He even referred me for counselling after my appointment!
Well after having the best intentions to finally write out my birth story today it is still not done! I had forgotten how much work newborns are and was stupidly thinking that with DD at daycare today I would have plenty of time to do a massive list of things that need doing and I hardly got anywhere! Sigh... will get there eventually and hopefully will prove cathartic. My parents arrive tomorrow night so it will be great having them to help out for a few days and hopefully I will be able to hide in the study for a bit and write up my story.
Oh Jo... massive hugs... I hope all is ok. What happened today.. do you feel like talking about it.. we might be able to help?? It's such a scary time. Are you having another scan soon?? Please let us know what's going on... I'm worried.
Oh... ok... sorry, I didn't take all of your post in... just read that you'll BBL once DD is in bed... sorry.. didn't mean to put the pressure on - LOL!! Looking forward to hearing what's going on and praying that its good news!
