LISA _ Vent away my dear, I'm glad that you are getting her little head seen to, but also glad that the MCN doesn't think it's an overly big deal at the same time, IYKWIM?

FREYA _ So glad you're on the mend as well!

MICHELLE _ I'm thinking of you constantly.

AFM _ I just wanted to quickly say we are home from the hospital. Claudia finally used her bowels this morning which was a huge relief. She has to go back into hospital on 26 August for a bowel biopsy. We go back and see the paed next Friday to get her coeliacs test results, as well as have an official asthma diagnosis as well as check her ears have cleared after waking up with 2 ear infections in hospital. It's never ending. So anyway, I was mighty glad to be home last night, but we went around to Alan's Grandma's for her birthday & SIL & BIL told Claudia she was NOT allowed to help blow out the birthday candles because she might leave germs on the birthday cake & then they wouldn't be allowed to eat any of it!!!! **** I was FUMING!!! My kid doesn't have any type of 'contagious' germs and the poor little thing had only just been released from hospital, she is 3 freaking years old and they had the audacity to tell her she couldn't help Grandma blow the candles. I came home & cried. I don't know how people can be so outwardly cruel.
