OMG Ali, what a week you have had. I hope you are all feeling better. How terrible that you all got sick. I am feeling much better although not 100% and Claire is much better too.. so I will share our healthy vibes lol.

Cass, I also read your other thread. I hope everything is under control. Cant believe you had to go home even though you clearly werent really fit to go. Healthy vibes for you too. Hope Tim is looking aftrer you

Well today I went out shopping with my mum and sister. Bought Claire some really cute leggings and some things for the bath. They're these sticky things that go on the bottom of the bath and are meant to be non-stick. She loves standing up in the bath and I am worried that one day she's going to fall over and smash her beautiful teeth! lol! At the moment she is getting her 5th and 6th litttle toothiepegs.

I have a uni exam in a few weeks. I am actually a bit nervous about it as I dont think I'll do well.. which is kindof pathetic considering its a first year subject (human body) and is pretty much foundation knowledge.. but theres just SO MUCH to learn and with DH also at uni and DH being sick and being fairly useless because of it, and me working, I have little time for studying. Its on in June so I still have a little while longer to study and learn all the stuff so I am hoping I can do it. Its on around the same time that I'll be having my 3 month evaluation at work. I'm kinda hoping they wont want to keep me on. I am missing Claire way too much. I want to resign because I'm not really liking it as much as I thought I would, and I am taking so much time off with Claire being sick, and its such a huge hassle to coordinate dropping her at daycare and getting to work on time as we have only one car... but then DH reckons I should stay, especially considering all the effort I went through to make them offer me a part time job in the first place. I dont know what to do. The extra money is great as I want to save up to buy a second car, but I dont want to stick Claire in daycare and miss her all day.

sorry for waffling on so much.

Hey I'm home from hospital - there is a long thread in General health and fitness thread (under my post about gall bladder something) a quick recount - surgery went well, post op was a bytch, hurt like hell, got let out too early had to go back. Still in loads of pain but on good pain killers hehe!

Izzy has been great, missed her mummy! she didnt like seeing me in hospital with oxygen tube on mouth and drip in arm she almost cried. and she keeps trying to crawl on me and hfor me to pick her up but i cant do that just yet...

My mum came down from townsville and was a real blessing to have down took izzy out a few times and took real good care of me...

And Tim has been a super hero just doing everything and beyond he really is my sole mate. times like this show it!

Well i gotta go taking kids to school! If im allowed!

[Catastrophic]

Hey girls - good news!!! We now legally have custody of the boys. we did it by mediation (where the two parents get together with lawyers and explain what they want infront of a metiator) All we wanted was sole custody - to prevent her from 2months, 2yrs, etc down the track coming and taking the boys. She cants do that now...

She originally wanted one day a week, every 2nd fortnight from fri - sun avo, an half of school holidays. which we were fine with, the boys love spending time with their mum!. But when it was all written up she changed it to - 1 night a fortnight, and half the school holidays.

Which looks really good on our behalf at least we want our children! im just discusted in her. this is her babies that she adores but she only wants to see them 1night/fort? ...

Izzy is sick atm poor thing has tonsilitis! i am sure that she heard me mention she has to get her last immunisation and got sick on purpose! she has done it to every needles lol. (most of the time just a runny nose)

Put the poor thing is really having a problem swalling and drinking. the doctor said to only give her cold foods for now. but even them shes choking on poor little thing

OKay just a quick one.

Cass thats great news re the boys. Sounds as though they'll have more consistency with you and tim. Poor litle Izzzy though with tonsilitis. Claire had that about 2 weeks ago. She also was having trouble with eat/swallowing and was breathing really loudly and not getting any better and had a temp over 39. So I took her to my GP and he got us some antibiotic (amoxyl?) and it fixed her up by the next day! Hope you are feeling better now after your surgery. My mum also had her gall bladder out last night and they kicked her out first thing this morning.

Sarah, WOW on a big bed! I reckon Claire would get up in the middle of the night and walk around the house if she had a big bed, lol!

Claire is doing really well with eating at the moment so I am happy about that. She absolutely loves chicken noodles without the noodle juice, and with mashed pumpkin mixed in. She'll eat heaps of it! I think I'll need to go get more noodles for her. She is not keen on banana anymore. She used to love banana. She goes through differnt moods with her eating. And my GP told me to ignore the ECHN and how she keeps on telling me that Claire is way too small. So now I feel a bit better.

DH was in hospital yesterday having a camera put inside him so the doc could look for nasties (ie: cancer and other evil things) but he couldnt give us much of an answer until the results from biopsy come back in about 2 weeks. I felt so bad for him, that he had to go through all that (the prep for it was reall horrid as he couldnt eat and had to drink a drink that was like a mega-laxative) and not even get an answer like he was expecting.

Other than that, Claire is enjoying the other kids at daycare. When I picked her up yesterday, all the kids came running to the gate when I got there, but I couldnt see Claire anywhere! Turns out she was coming to the gate as well (she's a bit slower than the bigger kids) but found a toy on the way and got distracted by that. I love my girl.

sorry for the long ramble.

Hope you are all well.

Oh Karina! I hope your mum is okay! Did they give her anything to come home with?
yes izzy is on the same antibiotics.
Hope your husbands test come back clear. my uncle and ****y just had to go through that. poor guy!
Oh bless clair sounds so cute!

[Karina]

Cass, I'm not sure if they gave my mum anything to come home with. All i know is that she was meant to go into theatre at 11am yesterday but didnt go in till 5 or 6pm. So, because she was waiting for so long, my dad went down to her office and brought some work up to her room for her - what a dork!! PMSL (she had the op at the hospital where she works). Then they sent her home at 9 this morning, so she wasnt even there 24 hours. She said she was in some pain, but nothing major. I know she was whinging that it was tooo cold last night so they brought in some pethidine to make her go to sleep, lol. She was just going to go home and take it easy.
Thanks. DH is very upset about the outcome of his colonoscopy and is very annoyed about having to wait another 2 weeks for further news. I think he is worried as his grandfather died from bowel cancer and a small part of him is scared that he might have cancer. Doc said his bowel looked normal though so thats a good sign. But, we'll get through it. We're thinking positive!
