Blow me down.
Thank you everyone for being patient and kind with me, while I wander through my William haze. I appreciate it more than you know. To be able to put my thoughts down and have them acknowledged and accepted is more precious than gold.
For those of you who were shocked by the paed’s lack of follow up post sepsis for Ivy - The receptionist called yesterday and offered us an appointment for the girl next Friday.
I have to say, I was surprised.
Personally, I was not going to push things, too tired, too worn out fighting for now and was going to muddle through this week first but he organised it all and I am thankful for that.
We are on day three of the Dapsone and I have noticed the following;
She has no appetite but she is extremely thristy.
She is pale.
She is tired.
Her first bloods are on Tuesday.
I got a comment today from someone saying that I needed to vary what I write about.
To that person, thanks for your comment but this is my blog and I’ll write about what I like.
If you don’t want to read, please don’t. There are lots and lots of blogs out there. I’m sure that you will find something that interests you. My blog is for me and for my children. That is why it was started and that is why I still write.
Grrr at your commenter. How rude.
So pleased that the paed sorted things out. Poor Ivy, I hope the Dapsone is helping more than it is hurting.
(((hugs))) I shall be here reading.
Totally agree with Veronica on the commenter - that is just rude!
I’m so glad thngs were sorted without you having to fight for another appointment for Ivy, I really hope the new meds are helping her even though she’s feeling a bit yucky
loads of love xxx
RUDE? Um, that doesn’t cut it! Insensitive, judgemental and offensive…a little better. Until you have walked in someone else’s shoes (read lost a child) you have no right to OPEN YOUR MOUTH.
Ivy girl. Little darling girl. Me hopes your bottom is better and your appetite increases.
Sweet momma you are GREAT!
Where is that commenter…??? looks under the bumpzee thingy . no no.. okay. looks behind the big blue button.. no no … hmmmm
*wonders where that stupid commenter could be????**
AAAAAAAHHH looks in the horses arse ..Yep !!!! found them…..
I hope Ivy’s appetite gets better and she gets those beautiful rosy cheeks to be rosy again really soon!
Whoever wrote that comment is a poo poo butt face! You write whatever you want, I think your blog is wonderful dear!
That brave anonymous commenter’s action is nothing short of vulgar.
This is your space Tiff, for whatever takes your fancy, and you use it wonderfully.
I am appalled that someone would write that comment. Try not to let insensitive people like that get you down. ((Hugs)) for the last few days and hope that Ivy is improving and that the Dapsone helps a bit. Poor thing with all the side-effects. Take care of yourself too, Tiff. You’ve had a rough time of late, but you’ve got a lot of online friends who care a lot about you.
I am impressed with the way you are handling things, and I think you should continue to blow off anyone who hassles you about what you “should” be doing or not doing. You just need to do what you think is right, and forget the rest.
There are always those who think they have the right to tell others how to think, act, and feel. They are full of crap, Tiff. Anyone who sees the photographs of your kids can see that you are doing things right, because they are some happy and healthy and terrific kids.
That commenter just needs to get a grip and get over it…
And as for you…
Well, you’re allowed to psot what you want. If posting about William is cathartic in some way, being able to let it out…well, then that’s what you post about.
I’d say if the Depsone is already affecting her that harshly that you should try to get the bloods sooner. After what you posted about it you’re better safe than sorry!
*hugs*
Wow, Tiff… when the storms come they sure don’t mess around, do they? I’m so sorry you have so many things going on right now when your heart is grieving. It’s hard to even take care of yourself during such times, let alone an entire family. How I wish I could come and watch your kiddos for a week and just let you have some alone time!
I hope they get Ivy quickly back on the road to feeling better and that you get some time to rest too.
And your commenter? Begone!! There is lots of sappy fluff to be had elsewhere if that is what you are looking for… puppies and rainbows by the ton. We all love Tiff and her blog just the way it is. The only way I can think of possibly improving it would be for you go hang out here instead of at Tiff’s place. And please don’t come back until you’ve grown a heart.
I really don’t understand why anyone would feel the need to make that sort of comment. Good Lord above. Do you watch TV shows you don’t like? No, you change the channel. If you don’t like the content, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! Please!
I agree with the sentiments of everyone else here: it’s YOUR blog. You write about anything you damn well please, and if anyone doesn’t like it, they are more than welcome to FUCK OFF!
BTW: did you leave it on here? Can I read it? Can I, huh, huh?
Seriously, who says that? What is wrong with people?
I’m glad we were here for you this week. I’m sorry I wasn’t always able to comment, but your words have touched me with their beauty and grace.
Hugs!
I have read with great sadness your posts about William and every time I have thanked God that I have been spared such devastating loss. So Tiff, I say thank you for putting some perspective into my life and writing so beautifully.
Hi Tiff, I can’t always make comments, I lack knowing what to say, but I feel and weep when I read your courageous and deeply felt reflections. I’m glad you know that this blog is for you and your family. I thank you for sharing it.
Sweetie I get that sometimes. Or lovely emails telling me how much I suck. Reeks of jealousy methinks. If they don’t like it don’t read…
Sheesh, there are millions of other blogs… if you want I have a few people that wanna kick Mary in the girly bits after my post the other day, they can add this idiot to their list.
Smootches babe.
You know what I think you should write about more? Doormats. No one writes about doormats these days. Wouldn’t that be a good niche?
Oh, wait, I meant ASSHATS.
Glad that Ivy will get in to see the ped soon.
That commenter? Not worth your time. You are too polite
This is your blog,your space, and you are occupying it most beautifully.
Glad to hear they’re following up on Ivy
Rude, inconsiderate commenters should be seen and not heard!
Negative comments are not worth taking on board. Just ignore them and keep on blogging on! xoxo
