I've said the same Pigpen, why on earth wasn't it picked up on a scan, must be one of the most obvious of defects when I have looked through, transposition of the great arteries, he's been given 90% chance of pulling through so could definately be worse. They've made a wee hole in his heart to help improve his oxygen levels for now, his SATS have gone up to ok after this which is great, just the open heart surgery in a few weeks now but must stay positive!!! Thank you for all your messages, means a lot to have the support and thoughts for the little guy.

Time for a coffee I think, didn't sleep much last night, need to do some more packing, DP getting up at 11am so will pack until then, after coffee!

Nicki hope you're feeling better soon.

nicki_2

Right, that does it. I'm falling asleep sitting here. I'm off to bed using a Paul McKenna CD to help :rotfl: Will set the alarm on my phone to wake me up after an hour, or shall I make it 2 :think:

Tell you one thing, my "thing" this week isn't going to be happening at this rate :mad: I'm going to be too tired to go out!

Night Night :rotfl::rotfl:

morning all

Sending my very best wishes to your friend and her little boy Lil_me. They must be so worried those odds sound very promising though and it must be good news that they diagnosed so soon after birth.

Hugs to anyone else who needs them today too hugs from a distance with rubber gloves on for the sicky ones!

I'm going to make a major confession here - I've had a really bad flying week I pulled a muscle in my back on tuesday night and it's all gone downhill from there I've not slept properly since and am now thoroughly exhausted and very very snappy with everyone. I've been struggling to keep up with my dailies, let alone anything else Paracetamol is useless and I don't think I can take anything else as I'm pregnant. DH and the older kids are being as messy as usual and the house looks like a tip again

I'm off to try and snooze on the soaf while dd3 watches cbeebies!

torianut

Just been in tears catching up hope the little man is a fighter lilme - like everyone else has said - he is in good hands and also they now know what they are dealing with 90% is excellent and they have acted so quickly - will be thinking of him xx

Hugs to everyone else with poorly relatives / children etc xx

I am refusing to fly today - instead I am going to spend all day on facebook looking at my new friends!!! xxx
