I have nothing positive to write. Nothing funny or witty or knowledgable. It’s all negative, down in the dumps, depressing stuff.
Ivy’s bottom is all red and blistered again and her lip has a blister too. 24 hours after decreasing the prednisone.
I am feeling very low. I know I am writing the same stuff over and over and people are commenting less.
I think I am going to have a break from writing… maybe… or not, depending on how I feel tomorrow.
Before I do though, I just wanted to say thank you to Kim from Frog Ponds Rock. Even though I feel like the cra**iest mother of all time, she brought a smile to my face when she gave me this:

and she said I was a good Mum. In fact you all say that, so thank you. I mean it. All of your comments lift me up and help me through this. There are so many of you, I wish I could give it to all of you. Can I do that? I’m not sure if that is allowed in the blogoshere…will have to investigate.
I am going to give this to Guera from A Roaming Aussie Mum, a new blogging friend, who has told the story of her daughter who had severe talipes (clubfoot) and their journey,
Veronica, from Sleepless Nights because she always makes my day and brings a smile to my face,
Sue from Sueblimely, who has been quietly emailing me, letting me know I’m not alone.
Trish from My Little Drummer Boys - who is working her way through genetic issues with her boys but always finds time to lend her support to me.
Kelley from Magneto Bold Too, who battles with Boo’s Autism and still manages to keep her sense of humour,
Tracey from Why Bother who has been there through all of this journey, walking with me.
Kate from Picklebums, who has been through what Ivy is going through and has been wonderful, giving me information and telling her story,
My X - Box man, who is clearly struggling with this trying to conceive business but still finds the time to leave uplifting comments
and finally to my friend from In The Eyes of a Child, who is the strongest woman I know and has seen her daughter, Jacqui through so much.
I just want to mention River, who doesn’t have a blog but always has something kind to say.
