Maniac Monday!!!

Well after i type this post out i will be a maniac trying to cook enough cupcakes for the rspca cupcake day. The day is actually meant to be today but we are having it tomorrow because Ryan has an exchursion today. It was all ryans idea actually the money goes to feeding all the hurt injured and waiting for adoption dogs cats bunnys horses and want not. Ryan seen the ad on TV and asked if he could do it ( I know I know his a real sweetheart) so who was I to deny him we have organised it with his school to sell the cupcakes at their recess and the prep class will be doing it all.

Speaking of Ryan we have had a trip to our emergency department. On Saturday he was complaining about a sore hip he couldn't walk on it and was huddled over in pain. I rang the after hours dr and a nurse answered the phone first and i told her that this had happened a couple of times in the last year but it usually went away with panadol. I thought it was just growing pains! Now this nurse made me feel like a really bad mum with what she said to me she told me that it was stupid that i hadnt got it checked out and that it could be numerous things and that it was NOT growing pains and she was going to call the dr. So got off the phone and nearly burst into tears. Then dr rang and told me to go up to the hospital because it needed to be investigated so off we went they gave him some stronger panadol and soon he was walking on it again. It took them 6 hours to see him because he was a catergory 5 which is the lowest priority and when i finally seen the dr he said that it could be juvonille arthiritis so he is to have an xray this week and then we will see our local gp to discuss results and he will give us a referral to see the orthapedic people. Grrr if its not one thing its another.

Bailey is still loving his hydro-pool lessons he just wants to constantly be moving and he is now putting his head under (not face) which is a major improvement. We had early learning down and Kathy said to me that Baileys hamstrings were tight and he wasn't aware of his surroundings when he was walking he will just go straight over the top of something so i should speak to his PT and see her well i have an appointment this week before his hydro pool appointment.

Thomas is doing OK i've been a bit worried about him lately i feel like his always left out and doesnt get enough attention so ive been trying to give him a bit more. He loves reading books and doing jigsaws and when Kathy came down she brought him a jigsaw to play with he had them done in about 10 minutes hehehe !!!

Life and Death!

Sorry i haven't blogged for awhile on sunday night at 10:20pm My Uncle passed away. He had extensive brain damage and wasn't breathing by himself so his wife decided to take him off the ventilator it must of been a hard decision and my thoughts and love are with her and my cousin.

Bailey loved his lesson in the hydro pool I mean loved it the OT said he was actually less sensitive in the water then what he was out of it so that was great he was trying to swim all the time and proceeded to swallow large amounts of water as a result :P. He wasn't too keen when they put the bubbles in though he didnt want a bar of them and he didnt want his head to go into the water either but i knew he would do that its a matter of easing him into it. He has began not to sleep again he is awake most of the night and i dont know why! But I've got him here and thats all that matters my uncles death has shown just how much you should cherish each and every moment with the people that you love because you never know when that last moment will be. I have written a poem for him to read oput at his funeral (or try anyway).

5 minutes

You were such a happy man,

who did all the right things in life,

i know that you will always be watching,

over your beautiful daughter and wife.

Sometimes life just isn't fair,

Just how much no one can ever guess,

But to everyone you were great,

God only takes the best.

If only i had 5 minutes,

The night you passed away,

I'd give you one last kiss,

and tell you it will be ok.

But you were gone so quickly,

one last breath you'd take,

before you even knew it,

you were standing at heavens gate.

Now God has called upon you,

it's time to get your wings,

to leave this life behind you,

and enjoy all heavens beautiful things.

Everyone who has read it has cried so sorry if i made a tear well up in your eyes. I will leave with a comment made by Ryan that may make you laugh instead. this morning he was watching discovery home and health and there was a programme on it about parenting for dummies that was on and it said about comforting your child when they cry or something like that. Ryan pipes up and says but mummy you are always cuddleing Bailey and he never stops crying :P Out of the mouths of babes :)

Yet another weight loss!!!

The above picture was taken this morning i ask any of you out there who have seen sitting of this sort what it is wether it is associated with low tone or what??? Bailey had an appointment with the health nurse today he weighed 9.52kg a 20 gram loss in 3 weeks!!1 He grew 2cm at long last so he is now 79cm and his head circumference is 47.5cm ( a lot smaller then my other two boys who were around 50cm at about 6 months of age :P) I don't know why he hasn't put on any weight he eats sooooo much it isnt funny!! he has however cut out to two bottles a day on an odd occassion he will have 3 but its genrally 2 and those are only 180ml bottles!!!! He won't drink anything else and he cant suck out of a sippy cup! Any ideas ANYOne i would appreciate them. We have Early learning coming on Thursday as well as having AUSTAR installed YAY. It's my birthday tomorrow but i'm not really in the mood to enjoy it my uncle is in hospital at the moment in an induced coma and on a ventilator. He is a mechanic and he was servicing a cherry picker when he knocked his head and accidently knocked the buttons on the cherry picker which crushed his head. He has no brain swelling at the moment but these things can show up hours later. Please pray for him!!! Hydro therapy also starts on Friday and Hubby is coming to watch so that should be fun!!!
