Hello Ladies,

Kar, Chris ... glad to hear things are going well for you ladies (if a little crampy, windy and sick. Oh I remember those feelings well).

Sheree - yes, that is a very lovely pic of you and Nicola. Not long to go for you and Justine ... it's great to have some more new arrivals to look forward to!

Just a quick and selfish post ... I am back up in Qld at parents' place. Mum developed peritonitis last week (due to a ruptured appendix). Diagnosis was delayed due to the fact that she also has all her organs on the opposite side of the body to where they should be. Last Friday, the doctor told us she would be lucky to survive so I came up here straight away. Am pleased now to report that she is home and doing much better. She really bounced back so we are all relieved.

I'll be back in Melbourne sometime next week. Just wanted to say hi and I hope you are all going well.

Love,

Mel and WM (getting lots of sun)

Edited to add: Trish, it's so great that your boys are now home. This is such fantastic news. This dial up connection is so slow I am having trouble reading/catching up on all the posts but will do so when I get home.
