Angry

It’s taken four years for me to reach this point in the grieving process. Four years of self blame, four years of doing what everyone thinks is right, the right way to behave, the right way to grieve. I have listened and adapted to people’s differing points of view as to how one should grieve. How […]

She connected me up with the Bumpzee community and it took off from there. Meg is an amazing blogger and one who I […]

Weekly Winners.

My WeeklyWinners are definitely a reflection of my week…except for the last one, which is proof of my husband’s OCD out of control while we were camping. Yes, he is sweeping the tarpaulin. Go to Sarcastic Mom’s blog to see more winners.

Home.

Ivy finally stable and waiting admission to the ward.
It was so scary on Wednesday morning.
I couldn’t wake her up.
Two febrile convulsions and I knew she was really sick.
We had been chugging along at half health for a couple of weeks and then things went curly.
Bacteraemia. In old terms: blood sepsis.
She did not wake for 24 […]

irony…

In a weird twist of irony for the worst mother in the world, I have landed myself on the front page of Top Momma.
Go on, go and look and laugh… You can click on the bright orange button in the sidebar to find us. I think we are the picture of the dog with the dummy.
Nothin […]

Suspension of regular posting

Ivy was admitted to hospital early Wednesday morning after a night of high temps and febrile convulsions. She was very septic but today has been more awake and even ate a tomato (a very good sign).  Hopefully she will be drip free and ready for the homefront in a couple of days. Thanking each and everyone of […]

Dapsone is better than Prednisone because?

Today I got a fax from our paed.
It was a plan, some pathology results and a script.
That’s right, my friends, you can doctor a patient via fax now.
Don’t get me started.
Yes, I am disgusted.
Anyhoo, the plan; was to wean Ivy off Prednisone because she is at risk of diabetes and brittle bones and a plethora […]

Birth…

…for me, has not been straight forward. Ever. You can read all about my last two attempts at birthing my babies here and here. I never thought it would be hard. My own mother birthed me with no drugs and no tears and went on to birth twins vaginally in two hours and another baby […]

Camping quirks

I think it’s pretty safe to say that camping and I are not a perfect match.
Stop laughing and stop saying I told you so.
When I was younger, I was a pretty mean camper. Could put up a bell tent in ten minutes, knew how to cook in a camp oven and made the best Mars […]
