Sometimes plodding is just fine. It gives you a baseline to work from.

Thank you
Posted a long post earlier when I pressed post it had logged me out.
Anyway no real change. Although blood results for this evening are better looking numbers and going in the right direction.
It's still crazy hectic getting older two at school for breakfast club then collecting them after the after school clubs. Expensive too hoping by next week I won't need to use it. Fingers crossed.
Actually bought the older two dinner from off hospital site today and it was cheaper than the food bought here.
Still having too many paper cup coffees.
Older two have been discussing Xmas and the things on at school.

Morning
Youngest is looking better today. Amazing the change in 24 hours. The new antibiotics must be hitting the right spot as the numbers started to improve yesterday and are much better today. She's up and talking and wanting stories and things. So a total change to yesterday.
Other two are at school.
Feeling a bit less anxious now.
Smalls are on countdown to Christmas. DD insists on telling me how many days to go at least twice an hour :rotfl:
thank you again for stopping in
Hope you all have a good day

Thank you
It's reassuring to see the improvement in her rather than just the numbers.
Just picked older two up and they are having dinner.
It's definitely getting colder!“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -
