Zarava - Thankyou, hows little Ava doing now? Its funny how Mum is the only one they want when they are sick. Some Dr's, sorry you had to go through that. hugs How cute feeding her little sister. V the other day picked up a lolly in a box while I was being served at the checkout at the local shop and scanned it 3times lol.

Moi - Ohhh poor little M, Its hard seeing them sick, especially when they are so small. Hows her weight going? Does she seem to lose weight quicker than putting it on? V had lost so much weight from being sick. Wonderful news on the house congratulations. hugs

Teru - Ohh hun, sound like you and dragon have been in the wars too. I cant stand winter just for this reason. What a shame the hospital couldnt fit you in for the scan. Yay for defiantely having a boy, thats wonderful. hugs

Belfie - Ohh hun, how horrible, im so glad your mum is coming over to help out even if it is for a week. Hope it settles down for you and you dont need crutches. Thankyou too. Im feeling quite relieved and trying very hard to remain positive. V is on the mend is on ventolin and a puffer with steroids in it too for the month as well until Monday antibiotics for the ear infection she had. I had been on some meds for the flu, but dont like to take them unless I feel like I need it, so havent been very good at sticking to it. lol

As for V, she is on ventolin and steriods, for the month, also meds for the ear infection, and had lost a heap of weight over the past month from being sick on and off. The worst loss was the week she was admitted into hospital. If you can believe it, 3 mths ago she was 7.63kg, I had finally gotten her over the 8kg mark when she started getting the flu etc, had her weighed at the peads, whom I told that she has lost alot of weight and he also wanted to check it, I couldnt believe my eyes she had weighed only 7.13kg. I was so upset, I knew she had lost weight but definately wasnt expecting that much. She also had a chest xray at the hospital and the results I was told by her pead, seemed to have an old fractured rib that had healed and may have happened when she was resusitated a few times last yr when she was so sick. So had to have another chest xray to check, thankfully and with full of relief, her chest xray was clear and nothing wrong whatso ever. So definately relieved there.
So now the pead and I are trying to build her weight up again and trying to keep her from getting sick by her taking the ventolin and steriods. Soon is also the dieticians appt, so hopefully she has put on a good amount of weight by then.

Well, our NT scan was last Wednesday and OMG, I thought we were going to have another high risk, as the first sonograghper had bubs Nuchal fold as being 3.7mm. The she had a Dr come in and check, I could have sworn I heard him say that all seemed good with him, but I wasnt sure if thats what he had said. He turned to me and said that we were going to try a different machine in the next room, and he disappeared for a little while, then returned and said the room was being used so we had to wait. He then disappeared again for a while, and here I was stressing about how things were looking. Next thing the DR came in with another Dr who sat down and checked for himself. Turns out with him he had a NF of 2.1 and 2.2mm and the first DR had a NF of 1.9 and 2.1mm, so they took the 2.2mm. They mentioned to me that the sonographer had taken the bubs NF at the wrong angle which caused the wrong calculations. So what a huge relief, and yes thankfully there was a nasal bone. So with the new results my risk was 1 in 408. With the results from the first lady, it would have been 1 in 8. So I cant tell you how relieved I was to hear she was wrong. So relieved that two DR's came up with similar results. To let you know how long this all took, My appt was at 11.30am, I went in for a histroy at about 11.45am, came out about 12pm, had to wait for until approx 12.20 to get called in for the scan. Didnt leave until approx 5min to 3pm. At least I got to see bubs a fair bit that day, but what a long day it turned out.
