Oh possums, I'm sorry you have had this worrying news. I have a feeling it is going to work out and the baby is going to be fine. I don't know why, but I know that you need to do everything you can right now to stay positive. I don't want to throw a hundred cliches at you, but the best thing you can do is to will that baby on with every cell in your body. I'll be thinking of you over the next few days. I pray to my granny to have words with the angels for you.

Possums, Briggsy's Girl, Tigger Linda, Butterfly Warrior - thanks for the healing words of wisdom. I'm surprised at myself. I knew my gran was in pain and I knew it was coming for months and yet I'm still so full of sadness. I guess it's because the day before she went back in to hospital for the last time was the day we told her that I was pregnant. When she found out that the cancer was back she told all the family (even though we asked her not to) because she wanted everyone to focus on some good news rather than that the cancer was back. The day before she died she woke up (wide awake) and grabbed my hand and said Thank you for a wonderful life. The funeral will be difficult. But thanks again to you for you support. Things will probably be easier once the funeral and the final goodbyes are said and done.
