Here is a bit of a summary of my families week....

Here is an update on what has been happening.....

Dad had his surgery Tuesday, they ended up repairing the valve in his heart, through key whole surgery - best case scenario!!! Woot!! He was in ICU for 24 hours, double Woot, and is now in HDU, things were going really well, then last night his heart rate kept dropping so that have given him a pacemaker, good news about that is that apparently about 80% of cases get one temporarily, and we a luckier that is was on day two, as it is worse if he needed it on day one. He is having a pretty tough day today, they got him up to walk hima roudn the bed and crashed, so he is feeling pretty worse for ware at the moment, and it looks as though he will be in HDU for a while longer.

With my sister, she is still waiting for an MRI, but they have confirmed that they caught the Stroke jsut before it happened, they have now put her on a new medication but it isn't on the PBS, and it costs wait for it..... $1000 a day - OMG it is ridiculous. The neurologist is filling in all the paperwork so that hopefully she can get it subsidised/funded as it is impossible for her or the family to be able to afford $1000 a day

It really sucks why do the meds have to be so much.. there are some alternatives which aren't as effective. The expensive one would give her approximately another 20 years, the rest we are unsure about.

So we are hoping to get some good news about it all.

Today I saw the specialist GP and she has upped my Motilium to 6 a day!!! From 1 a day!!! Woot, so I will get the results in a couple of days, and on Sunday I need to feed Nakita as much as possible, I have two markets and a Tupperware party to go too... could be interesting!!! But worth everything. She said that I shouldn't have been told to comp and they my Motilium should have be upped at the time... grr but she also needed to put some weight on as well. Her expectation would be approximately 300 grams a month for Nakita - woot!! so I am not going to get stressed at she, she is really happy with her (first time meeting her) thinks she looks wonderful, round and happy, until she started screaming for boob halfway through, lucky I could feed her!!

The brick on the house are going really well, they have done the office, home theatre, laundry, kitchen and part of the billard room - Woot!!!

I have just an hour and a half reprieve from doing things for dad and mum, started the dishwasher as I forgot when I went out, hung out the washing and filled the line, Nakita is in her swing sound asleep and I am going to have to put her in the car in 15 min

Off to the city to pick up mum and then bring little miss home for a feed then we will walk to the shops to get prescriptions, chicken and a few other bits and pieces, the home for the night.

No prem playgroup today as my throat is now not sore, but my nose is stuffy and I have a cough, and strict rules, but at least we have normal playgroup tomorrow.

Aurghhh what a list!!!

Thankyou again everyone for your wishes it means a lot to us MWAH!!!!

Squidipa - how are you feelign today hun? The GP said that some bubs only put on 100-120grams as an average, I know Josh is a bit less than that but hopefully you find your answers very soon.

Leasha - I hope you are in hossy hun getting that abscess drained.

I squirted Nakita all over her face today with milk, first time and it was hilarious - right infront of the GP!!! Must have jsut squeezed it right

yay for the self settling Mel

Woot for Stanthorpe MM, keep on him

Yay for Gymabaroo MT - sounds like fun what do they do?
