Ah I understand, my son doesn't like school lunches either!
Hope youngest is on the mend soon!

Morning

Waiting for Drs rounds for double reassurance but the cough is either the back end of the infection or just viral. All her bloods show massive improvement in infection markers. She's still on Tamiflu anyway as the course hasn't finished yet. She seems a lot better in herself again. I think it just makes her exhausted. I think we are nearly at the level of care she could come home with and be seen by the community teams and continuing healthcare help short term. I'm really worried any major delays in recovery from this will set us back in terms of her med plan. All too long to post but the quicker she's better like a 'normal'' person would be shows the meds are working in the background and we can continue. If we lose backing on those it's not even worth thinking about.

Anyway that turned into a morning rant. The short is she'd definitely improving.

Older two at school. They had dinner with their friends last night hence I had so much time to myself. Tonight they won't be so it'll be busier. I need to consider what to feed them. Have ticked some more admin things off the list. Have sorted deliveries to fit in with people who can take them in for me. Need to remember to cancel the subscription for nappies and things because it keeps catching me out and leaving me short in the bank. Where as having to order I will not forget when it's needed.

Have stuff on at school tomorrow too.

Hi WBF. I've said before how amazing I think you are and catching up with your diary over the last few days, I'm actually astounded at how you cope! I'd love to help you out with a few wee gifts for your smalls for Christmas, would that be ok? Do you have an Amazon wishlist you can share at all? I don't know how small your smallest is but do you think she would like this?

Not an actual unicorn but she could make it her own

I can't believe how much you achieve. And your meal plans/shopping list is not boring, it really helps to see what others can achieve.

I hope DD recovers well enough for you to get home and know that the other meds are doing their thing.

Great news that it sounds like smallest has turned a corner WF!

One thing I noticed on the meal plan/shopping list though - it looks like you've forgotten to add on your own food there, and your portions are all just for the smalls?

EH I havent meal planned for myself. As long as I cover the smalls I'll just have what I can when I can as long as I have covered everyday for the smalls I'm happy x

Sorry for the short reply earlier todays been busy.

Thank you for the messages about Amazon wish lists but I don't have one. Well other than the list you add too and it tells you when the prices decrease/increase.

But thank you so much. I did get the smalls some gifts. I think it's been lost in all my posts of meal plans and things.

I am so pleased she is improving, I can understand it must be a relief to have the drs and nurses to take over the medication and although obviously you are worried about her being ill, at least you can just be worried and can have a bit of a rest from thinking numbers and meds.
Hats off to you, you are an amazing mother
