    thanks for the link about the head cooler. What an amazing discovery. I'm glad they were brave enough to try it with little ones we know and love :)

    I think I'm going to meet JHA from the PG thread at a sling meet tomorrow in cardiff :T:T

    only having teased Glam about it, I will need to take my pram as I'm walking an hour there and an hour back and I'm not good at those distances with the sling :o

    Less of a :money:day for me tomorrow, but still not too bad: mum and baby group in the morning £1 and sling meet £1.25, and maybe a hot drink after all that walking!

    Celebrity and Real (:confused:) Mum of the Year comps and voting here..

    Doubt Kerry Katona will be winning it this year! :o
    lol I've just voted after getting the email. I'm thinking maybe Jade will be awarded post-humpously(sp?)
    I didn't vote for her though. I reckon feely&you should be in the running for 'real' mum

    Sami - we should have a shared one with all the babies on it!

    Oooohhh... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/bristol/8285577.stm :j

    That's what they did to Rhys - clearly it's helped him somehow :D

    ETA:
    MM, read the last few paragraphs of this - see, we're not the only ones ;)

    I don't know if they cooled Chris, he was on a water bed but everything about his NICU days are so fuzzy. Wouldn't have helped him anyway, the damage could have happened anytime in the 9+ hours before he was born. Great stuff that it is helping, I wonder if they will start doing it routinely for babies born in stressful situations where oxygen deprivation is likely... :cool: Wonder how it works... ok, I want to work out how it works, oh it's triggering the biology geek in me!

    Oh that would be cool!!!

    And on a practical note would be reassuring for the likes of me after each weigh in. :D

    Do I have to go dig out red books now? actually I will, want to see how Ambertronic compares to her brothers.

    well it mentioned peeps that had fallen into frozen lakes so I'm guessing its that magical body slowing thing that cold does the brain doesn't require as much o2 therefore isn't damaged by the lack of it :confused: isn't nature fab!!
