Ah Clare, it sounds like you're having such a horrible time right now. So sorry I can't be there and take you out for a steaming hot choccy and a slice of death-by-chocolate at Kokoblack. Sounds like you're going to needing some RSC (radical self care) pretty soon. xxx and

Rainy, if you're worried, ask the doctor or the MCHN and get on a waiting list to get him assessed. The waiting lists are usually a few months long so by the time the session comes round you'll have a better idea of whether you still think it might be a problem or not, kwim? I'm thinking of getting Missy E assessed (privately, thru the speechie that DD1 saw) -- not because she's not talking but because the clarity isn't quite there. These things run in families so it's something we need to keep an eye on. When I win the lottery and can pay for it LOL. Will get her hearing etc assessed thru the public system first though.

Cally, fingers crossed it's not the whooping cough (and if it is hopefully it will be much milder because of the immunisation, kwim)? Poor little chookie.

Problem with Uni is I didn't realise there was a cut off date for the paperwork. So now I have to throw myself on their sense of mercy/pity. The doctor went into quite a lot of detail in the letter and I've got to say, if I'd read all that happened to someone else I would be inclined to err on the side of leniency too. WE'll see.

BTW the Hannah Montana movie was excellent - had some quite funny parts in it. Gosh her brother is a crackup, he has the same dress sense as my DH LOL.
