Oh ***** Chrissy, all I can do is send :hug: your way and pray everything comes good. Thinking of you and your family. I hope the staff there sort him out quick smart.

Jodi- Poor emily, maybe try those made for kids sunscreen, I think the make up in them is made for sensitive skin. Hope it clears up quickly.

nelle - umm, what time is it down there? Cause it's 8pm here, and we're eating dessert, not dinner! Speaking of which, I made lemon chicken & rice tonight, yum!

b - any ideas why you're supply has dropped so much? Stress, sudden weight loss?

The dr recommended Megan Gale zinc. He said it's apparently a very natural zinc to use. Anyone heard of it, or tried it. It's very expensive, about $30 for a tube!! When her face has cleared, I have to take her back to talk to him some more about the reaction. I'm not sure if he can do tests or something, but he said to come back in a week or so.

Chrissy - i hope that he gets better and back home really soon!!!

Jodi - Poor little Emily. Hopefully the ointment the dr gave you clears her up quick.

Maz - That is the first pic I have seen of Vyolett, she is gorgeous!

Helen - I will be staying in there with her. For the amount I am paying there isnt a chance I am leaving her. (We had to go private so I am paying full cost for everything)...

Hopefully everyone else that isnt feeling better is improving!

:rofl: Jodi, that was an EARLY dinner for us! You know me mate, I do NOT have my act together, we feed Riv & Si, get them to bed, and then we collapse on the couch until we feel ready to move again. :P
I'm getting better though.

:hug:Chrissy-I am thinking of you and your family at this hard time. I really feel for you and sending you all heaps of hugs. Take care.

Jodi-:( Poor Emily. Hopefully you guys can get it all sorted out and find out what works. Must be hard though living in the tropics, you cant really avoid it.

Well Eithan had his chickenpox vaccine today. Was as good as gold, didnt even whimper. It's like he didnt even have it. He has had a nappy rash lately, but it looked a little suspicious and was getting worse, so I got the dr to check it when we were there. Well when I took his nappy of his balls, doodle and surrounding skin was all swollen and red. His doodle was so swollen the eye of it was sitting on top not at the end, and his foreskin couldnt be moved at all. She said it looks like a staf infection. Golden staf!! Apparently he would have got it by having such a low immune system lately. So she has taken swabs and we dont get the results until Thursday. In the meantime he is on anti-biotics. We have put him back into sposies as he wont wee in a cloth as it hurts, he has his own bath, his own towel and then washed. All the precautions so as it doesnt spread to anyone else. We also get Bella's bt results back on Thursday. So here's hoping everything is fine.

Thanks for keeping us updated Maz.

Jodi i have no idea.. could be all the stress I am feeling from her last weigh in.. she should have put on around 500g in 5 weeks but instead she lost 80g.. so of course its in my head. I know she was sick but yeah.....

:hug:Chrissy, I am glad to hear that you have heaps of people around you at this intensely difficult time. Thinking of you.

Jodi-How is little Emily going with the ointment. Has her swelling gone down now? I have been worried about how it is all going.

Hi Ladies,

Sorry to come into this thread that I'm not a part of.

Chrissy, I just wanted to say that I am so sorry that your husband has passed away. I know that I can't even begin to understand what you are going through at the moment and I don't know you and I didn't know your husband or your children but I don't think he would want you to think of him as lost. He'll always be your best friend, your husband and the father of your children. Your kids are a creation of you and him and so he is a part of them, they can never lose that. Every trait, cuddle, kiss and memory your husband has given you and your children can never be lost and therefore your husband can never be lost either.

I don't know what you can tell your kids and I don't know how you can handle this other than keep putting one foot after the other and try to do it how your husband would want you to.

Beyond a shadow of a doubt I believe in eternity and you will all be together for eternity you and your kids haven't lost your husband.

I am so sorry once again. I live in the Redlands which is about 30mins from the Mater so I guess you live close to me so if there is anything I can do PLEASE ASK. And I truly mean that I am not just saying it.

I just pray that peace will come to you and your kids. I am so sorry

Chrissy, I wish I could advise you on what to say, but to be honest, I have no idea. One thing I would advise though is a counsellor. They will help you deal with it all, and also help you with the kids. :hug:

Emily's face is starting to get better. Had to take her to the hospital yesterday as it got worse. They've told me to stop using any treatment, and I can only treat it with water only. I have to take her back in tomorrow for a check up, and if they're not happy with it, they'll admit her and treat her there. It's such a mess. Here I was thinking I was doing all the right things, and it turned out I wasn't. But I know it's just one of those things, that you just don't know until something like this happens.
Thanks for asking Helen.

:(Poor Emily and you too Jodi. Sending you :hug:. You werent to know that Emily would have a reaction. Any good mother would have put sunsrcreen on and then the cream from the dr. You werent to know that she was going to have a reaction.
I really hope that she gets better soon and you dont have to take her to hospital, but if you do, at least she is in the right place and they are a great help in the childrens wards and you may be able to get some rest, all the best!

Jodi- Poor Emily doesn't sound nice at all, will they even let you use aloe vera just to help soothe? She in pain with it?

Not very good week is it. FIL who you prolly remember has stomach cancer and it had been sorta staying the same for last year or so, hasn't gone but hadn't increased either but now they've discovered a new tumor so he has to go back onto weekly chemo. I guess it was only matter of time, Dr's been amazed how well he was doing and how well chemo responded last time so lets hope again.

On bright note tho I do have my 12 week u/s this arvo so hopefully that will bring good news to our group.

Shell-That's hard news for him and your family. Goodluck at your scan this arvo, cant wait to hear the news. Still think there might be 2!

Jodi- poor little thing... i hope they can do soemthign to help her. Your did what any mother would do. :hug:

Shell- good luck with your scan and sorry to hear about your FIL

Well Annika has ocme leaps and bounds in talking, still no sentences but lots and lots of words

Shell.. sorry to hear about your FIL. Hopefully, like mine, he will kick on through it. Hopefully the chemo will stop it spreading. My FIL is now on some new tablet medication they have. They had him on 75% chemo and it was just knocking him around too much. So they tested him and he wa able to take this other medication now. Alot better for him to enjoy what he has left. Hopefully if the chemo doesnt work, your FIL can take that one too.

shell - good luck at your u/s this afternoon. How exciting. Sorry to hear about your FIL.
Unfortunately we can't put the aloe vera gel on her skin as it's broken, and you can't put it on broken skin. And they've advised against us putting the plant on her skin as her skin is too young. IYKWIM.

kel - that's great that your FIL is doing well with the new medication.

b - Annika sounds like Nina, she never shuts up! She's saying a lot of new words which we can't understand, but is constantly talking and singing.

Ohh lucky you with talkers - River just squeals, sounds like he's trying to communicate with dogs, he's so high pitched! He's learned the actions to Incy Wincy Spider though, that's pretty cute. :P And then he claps at the end.

:hug: to everyone who needs them, hope everyone finds one really good thing in their day. :)

HI girls

Just coming in to give out hugs to everyone, especially Chrissy, thinking of you so much hun, I hope you have lots of support and like Jodi suggested - a counsellor is a good idea to try and help you and the kids. :hug:

This hasn't been a good week, Jodi, how is Emily going, poor little darling and poor you. Shell - I am sorry to hear about your FIL, not good news for your family, I am sorry.

Okay, we are all fine.

Take care ladies.
