hello's

A big hello to all my journal buddies!

I must start this entry by appologising for not making an entry in a long time. It had been manic here just lately, with lots of hospital appointments and things going on in general.

Bethany managed to bring a sickness bug home! She was sick Monday morning...baby had it by the afternoon, and Charlie and myself had it all day Wednesday. At least is all over with before the xmas fun starts!

Bryce had an eye check up a couple of weeks ago...they took special photos of his eyes with a machine. Would you believe he cannot focus in one of his eye's! He can see nothing, just colours and light and dark! I told them when he was small i thought there was a problem...i was right....AGAIN!!! We were meant to go to the hospital on Wednesday but had to cancel due to us being ill so have to wait now for another slot. Thank god the other eye seems to be ok. He will need glasses for definate and possibly an operation at some point.

I have excellent news for you all! I had to have a bowel biopsy a couple of weeks ago. I got the results Friday......CLEAR!!!! You cannot believe how worried I have been. Got to go back for a review in 3 months and to the gp as i need medication, but the worry of having cancer has now gone and i can live with the medication! I think this is part of the reason for not doing an entry....i have been on the point of a breakdown due to the worry of what would happen if i didn't get the result I wanted...kept thinking about my babies and what would happen if they did find something nasty. I now have to concentrate on getting my house shipshape for xmas and get back to normal again.

I promise i have been reading all your journals on a daily basis....they have kept me going!!!

I will be back in the week as i will have news for you about bet-bet's cardiac check-up. She was a star this week when we went for the ECG and X-Ray....i was so proud of her! We see the specialist on Thursday so please all of you who pray or talk to god, have a little word with him for me!!

Take care all of you.........I love you all loads and loads!!

Hugs and happy thoughts

Hi Joanne - I wondered where you were hiding yourself...nice to have you back...You have lots going on in your world...with hospital appointments - and getting the dreaded Bug... Glad you are all feeling better...pity you had to cancel that eye appointment...wish they would listen more to what Mums have to say...as they have a gut feeling when something is wrong with their children. Excellent news about the Biopsy - now you can get back to normal....No problem having to take medication as you say you can cope with that...You take care of yourself...Ally

I'm not surprised you haven't been updating your journal.  At least you can relax as your results were great :-)  I hope Bryce's eye check up comes along soon and Bet Bet gets on ok!!

Wow you have had so much going on lately...sure hope no one else gets sick and everyone feels better soon.  Poor Bryce...I hope all goes better for him too...Mothers instints are always right...
I am very happy your test came back negative!  Great news...I know that is one less thing to worry about.  You take care and have a wonderful week ahead.
Hugs,

No reason to apologize, my journal friend! People don't update often sometimes for a variety of reasons. I have been a "lurker" lately, as my mind has gone into deep freeze and I have been unable to participate in other people's journals. Journals do keep me going, and your journal is one of them. Glad everything has worked out for you and yours so far, and good luck with the challanges ahead.

Happy Holiday Hugs,
--Tom

Excellent news, sorry though to hear you have had so many hospital visits, but at least the outcomes are not too bad. Mothers instinct, can't beat it and they say Doctors know everything....I think not!
