lots of prayers for avoiding the hospital!

Ok, so I went to google images, looking for a picture of "vibes" to send you. You know...thinking I could outdo Renee's {{{{{{{}}}}}}}}}

Well, if you google "images" and "v ...

Poor little fella!! I hope he feels better soon and you get him home asap!!

I'm not surprised the doesn't want to do much with a double ear infection!!! I hope the little guy starts to feel better really soon!

Thanks for the link - I love Weird Al!!

mmmm - we had one of those when Percy was in with pneumonia. The regular paed was not impressed at all. We also had a few student doctors around and when asked we'd always speak to them about her. ...

I'm glad it was a pretty good trip! I'll be good when you are back there in six weeks with all the Christmas stuff out for the post-hospital shopping trip.

I really hope all goes well! The little guy deserves a break now!

I think we need another email with all the additional addresses since the first email!!

Always fantastic news!! Very Happy

Kathleen,

Have a look here: http://www.webmd.com/hw/heart_disease/aa143453.asp.

It's not something to worry about in it's something that might happen overnight (and that's partly the problem) ...

I don't know what to suggest! Once we get Percy to bed (and we actually have her in a bed now!) she's out for the night! It's the rest of the day that's the problem. It's like having a turbo charge ...

I'm curious about this now and I've got to ask (might be opening the literary can of worms but Smile

) - in what why did you feel that "Let's Paint the Octopus Red" was negative.

I'm not goi ...

Glad to hear all went well!

Don't worry about being scared to death (daft thing to say but...) - it's perfectly natural. I remember with Percy's first surgery that I was fine until I handed her ov ...

Good luck for that! (and enjoy the shopping!)

Sorry the news wasn't better!

All I would say is to keep a very close eye on her if you are only on annual appointments. Percy had an appointment in December time with another appointment schedule ...

I love Christmas!!! I'm in!

Childproof - lol - no such thing!!!

There is a sort of latch that there is no external fixing - just a latch you fix inside the drawer. The to open the drawer you run a magnet down the front to ma ...

It's a bit of a challenge!! Percy can wiggle her way out of her arm straps at the drop of a hat - even when they appear to be tight when you get her in!

What we tend to do is tighten them up and ...

Hope Austin's arm is better soon!!

I'm glad our pre-school didn't have a 3 strikes and out rule on biting otherwise Lucas wouldn't have lasted long!! I do think that's a bit harsh! It took us a ...

I guess the easiest, less argumentative thing to say is just "Mom, if they don't ask just don't tell them"

Personally I don't have that much of a problem with it but I can totally see how ...

My Andrew (now 11) swallowed a dime. It arrived 2 days later and was colored like a penny from the stomach acid I guess. What was funny is that it wasn't in the poo. It was clean and stuck between ...

25th should be ok with us - but I can't promise what with our current kitchen problems!!!

Xena took forever - Sarah was in labour for about 18 hours.

Lucas was (finally) induced and after that kicked off Sarah went from 5 cms - to Lucas dropping when she stood up to go to the toilet be ...

That's fantastic! And Avery doesn't look at all overawed by the occassion!! Very Happy

What a great idea! Very Happy

I have some motorcycle boots that squeak - except they encourage me to sit down quietly!! Very Happy

If we aren't at the table we still use Percy's highchair for exactly the same reason. She actually has her own little table but she'll spend all mealtime moving it and not eating!!

This is really interesting stuff!

My work colleague was thinking that we should bring back 'low tea' for an afternoon treat Very Happy

It's an experience in itself!

That would involve a pot of fresh te ...

By the sound of it it's just the way Artie likes to work at the moment.

Percy was very big on using her finger and thumb to manipulate things. She was (and is) still very dexterous with small obje ...

Ours all found there own positions pretty quickly and no amount of trying to get them to sleep in a particular postion was very sucessful (I didn't go as far as trying duct tape though Very Happy

)

Good luck with the echo!

Persephone's went from moderate to severe really quickly (and we didn't really notice!) It was only due to the cardiologist seeing her in April then July after her bouts of pneumonia (not related!) ...

Geeky question - what's your favourite programming language?

Simply - yes.

There was a report a while ago (I can't remember the source!) where a lady had a child with DS. She didn't take up genetic counselling and had a further child who also had DS. She t ...

Pauline,

I sure we are not going to start censoring invites by ability! Wink

I'd love to meet up with all of you if I can!!

In San Antonio, it's our margaritas and our Mexican food! Smile

I notice that the margaritas are listed first Wink

We really went to town with Percy's first birthday to celebrate the fact that she got through the surgery at 3 months old and was blossoming away!

We were pretty emotional thinking about that first ...

I up for something! I don't think I'd manage Portsmouth though - it'd take me about 6 hours to get there!! Smile

But somewhere in the midlands sounds pretty good to me! I'm just on tenderhooks waiti ...

I really like that analogy! Plus it includes coffee which is very important Very Happy

Right, I know a little while ago we had a mythbusters thread about our different nations and various stereotypes and misconceptions (and a great thread it was too!).

However, I was interested in ...
