Ok I have 3 updates to make in one here, this may be a long post lol.

1st Update on John.. He is back at the care home now.. they don't know what was wrong with him.. the hospital sent him home after 1 night! I am so angry with the home it's not funny. John was unable to walk and even on their own admission, on their assesment sheet of him they had put that he has a high tentancy to wander, a high risk of a fall and is very confused, yet as I got to the hospital I found John sitting on his own! The care home decided for whatever reason to send an elderly confused vuneable man to hospital in an ambulance by himself!! He had no idea why he was there so was unable to tell the dr's anything at all! As I wasn't there when he fell ill I couldn't tell them anything either! This is the same care home who refused to provide care for him during his wife's funeral so he was unable to go! To see him the way he is is heartbreaking.. He is so confused he didn't know who I was..Didn't know where he was his own birthday.. asked the same question over and over. The dr's wanted a unrine sample from him and it took over 2 hours to try and get him to go and when he did he wet himself, he had no idea that he had wet himself. I am at a loss as to know what to do next how to handle it all.

2nd 12 week Scan yesterday - Wow baby is meausring right for dates which makes me 12+4 today so baby is definatly due on 10th April 09. It's a bitter sweet thing for me that baby is due on the day that my daughter died. I'm not sure how I feel about it to be honest. The actual scan was amazing pipkin was like a little jumping bean all over the place. She/he just didn't want to be in the right position to be able to take the nuchal mesurements that were needed, everytime the singorapher said "come on baby move" Pipkin decided to put his/her hands over his/her ears so cute.

Scared...

My Mother in Law - Malcolm's (my husband who died in May 2006 and daddy to Bradley Caitie and Georgie) mum died in March this year. Her husband John my Father in law and the last living relitive conneted to Malcolm is in a nursing home with Altzimers..... I have just 2 seconds ago recieved a phone call from the home stating that they have called an ambulance on the Dr's advice as he is very very poorly... he is not moblising and is very sleepy. I am waiting on them calling me back to let me know what hospital they are taking him to so that I can meet them there once I have sorted childcare out for the kids..I am scared. John is 85 years old. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers

A Child Free Weekend.

Things are still realy manic here at the moment. Luckly for me tho my mum has agreed to have both Caitie and Bradley for the weekend.

Stu is going out on Sat night with a few mates to a big event which I was supposed to be going to but won't coz of it's just not worth the risk of getting banged into. I am going to do a propper catch up then when the house is nice and quite. I am going to try and pretty this blog up a little although don't hold ya breath lol. My psp mojo seems to have gone for a walkabout lately

I am still having problems with my ISP - we are now on our 2nd new router aggghh ... They confirmed last night that there was "something" on the line but would not tell us what it is, but since then touch wood it's been working fine.

NT scan on Monday 29th High risk midwife booking in appointment 1st October high risk pg Consultant appointment 10th October.

I saw my APS consultant last week as well and again she is not happy with me I have lost over 5kg/11lb in a month and have protin in my urine already BP is perfect tho, due to the APS I have I am at greater risk of getting pre e just another thing to worry about. Why can't this pregnancy lark be simple and easy?

My baby is poorly

Awww my baby girl is unwell, she has an ear infection. Kept us up most of the night with it. Took her to the Dr' and he has given her anti biotics lets hope that they clear it and it don't turn into one like Bradders has which take weeks to clear.

We've all woke up this morning with colds as well. just typical that eh! Brad is due to go back to school tom to start year 4 OMG my baby boy is such a big boy! Still have to get him parts of his uniform trousers to be precise, but he has 2 pairs from last year that are fine so we will go with them till next week.

The shower isn't fully fitted yet. We need 6 meters of cable and it will be done, hopefully we can get it finished later in the week.

The weather is horid rain rain and more rain - please go away!

Shower!

Yeahhh Stu's dad is here to help him fit the electric shower I brought a few months ago. At least now I won't be worrying in 6 or 7 months time as to how the hell to get out of the bath.

Lets hope it works :)
