More thoughts… and an update on the ugly.

When I gave up my son to the unforgiving universe, I thought that I had paid whatever penance I needed to, that whatever wrong I had done in my life had been forgiven, when I let him go.
These are strong words, my friends and if they are too painful or heavy then, please don’t read. […]


Here we go ’round the mulberry bush!

Ok, sorry anyone who is sick to death of my negativity and my ranting over Ivy’s health. If you don’t want to hear it don’t keep reading, in fact go here. Kelley has the most hilarious post up at the moment or go here and see photos of Jacqui having lost her first tooth but […]


It’s good news… and bad.

The good news?
They didn’t find anything.
The bad news?
They didn’t find anything.


Picolax poo, ewwwww!!!

So, the day has arrived when Ivy is no longer allowed to eat food. She can only drink clear fluids and she must also have her two doses of  Picolax.
Ok, I can hear you all asking what Picolax is.
It is a mixture that one downs for… faecal evacuation, to cleanse the colon, to make sure […]


Tuesday tension.

Is it Tuesday already?
It can’t be.
I’m not ready for tomorrow or Thursday.
I don’t think Ivy will ever be ready…
The paperwork for the procedure came yesterday. No cover letter, nothing so friendly. Just three pieces of paper, the first being the doctors fee.
By the time I had finished reading just that alone, I felt like I […]


The ‘roids to rule once more!

So, I took your advice and started to seriously look into a new paed. He must have felt the negative vibes because after one last desperate phone call on the Thursday, our paed phoned back.
Now, how many times do I have to tell you, don’t pass out!
I think I must have sounded a tad cranky because he […]


Random thoughts of an insomniac gone mad.

… Maybe I am crazy…
Everything about this nightmare is wrong. Why can’t I help her? Why?  I feel out of control, powerless. I can only imagine what she is going through.
When William was born my whole life changed. I have felt as though I have been falling ever since.
That night, that night, when the NICU […]


Up, down, up, down…

Labile moods
of the unknown.
Up, down.
Up, down.
We are getting
nowhere fast.
Up, down,
Up, down.
I feel their disregard
and I can do nothing more to help her
without them.
Her pain,
her pain.
Up down,
up down.
Her pain
is mine.
Up, down,
up down.

Better, and yet?

I don’t know where to start.
We went to the paed today.
There. That wasn’t so bad. A start.
The paed was lovely, kind, caring. I seriously couldn’t fault him today. He even charmed Maddy, who had come with me to help.
Noah is fantastic. Growing well. Chest is good, the Singulair is working. He is developing well. You […]
