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.
