just in case no one got an alert for yesterday's entry i've put this!

love Joanne

been away

hello to all my good friends

i have been away all week since the 3rd June on holiday with my babies and mum. we went to the isle of wight. it was lovely and hot and we had a lovely time.

on thursday Bethany started to be really naughty and uncooperative, normally a sign she is unwell, but looked and seemed ok.

friday she was no better 

we came home yesterday and as soon as we left it became apparent what was wrong. we went straight to the hospital when we got back and my suspicions were confirmed.....she has pneumonia again.

i was so cross with her for 2 days and now feel like i've been a cow to her as she upset me so much thursday and friday, wish she would tell me she felt ill before it got this bad, always happens.

she is home with me they havent hospitalised her as i've nursed her before when she has had this illness.

i will tell you about my holiday in the week as i'm just so exhausted from the driving yesterday, we were out for 9 hours from when we left to when i finally steped in my house last night!

i had 145 alerts when i put the pc on last night....i will try and get to them i promise...although some of them i am a silent reader.

hope you are all well anyway and are enjoying this gorgeous weather we have been having all week...i've got a lovely suntan!!!!

love you all to bits

Joanne

p.s the grandma from bethany's link family died on the thursday before i left for holiday. we told bethany but she just didn't understand what i was going on about and hasn't said a word about her since. RIP grandma

 

Bethany is back

She has taken herself upstairs in her room

she never does this

think she is upset at everything thats going on at the link family, although she doesn't understand any of it.

grandma has been given 36 hours

feeling so sad for link family

advice

good band holiday monday to all in the U.K and a happy memorial day to friends in the U.S

i could really do with some advice from all my good friends.

As you all know Bethany has a link family  who has been having her for the past 8 years. She has adopted the granny as her own grandma. unfortunately grandma is very ill with cancer. I am at a loss as to how to explain the subject of death with Bethany. I do have to tell her, its not fair on her or the link family not to, but i'm at a complete loss as to how i should go about it.

I myself do not cope with death at all....the last person who died, my nanna, was the most terrible time of my life, it caused me to have a breakdown big time, and for a while i really was in a bad way. since my nanna died i have been even worse when it comes to dieing. i have spent all weekend upset about the "grandma" and felt so bad yesterday when i dropped bethany off as i cried like a baby....not good....and not helpful to the link family.

Have got a lump in my throat now.

So if any of you have any good advice please shanre it with me. thanks

I am really behind on my journal comments so i appologise for that, my dad is laying a nice new floor for me in the kitchen/diner so i have been helping him.

well done to Jan for her featured journal!!!!!

hugs for Joyce in the U.S. hope you son is getting a bit better.

Be strong to sara and Jelly...purple is a cool colour!
