So pleased you all had a wonderful Christmas Day! Getting to the point where you can feel actually happy is such a breakthrough.
I hope littlest one is feeling better now? I'm always a bit concerned if you aren't around on here for a while. Thinking of you xI think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

So happy to hear that you all had a fantastic Christmas and that the wee one really enjoyed opening her presents (oh to be 3 again indeed

Hope she is doing ok and that the meds kicked in and did the job for her... it is great to see the dedication of the nurses in doing what they do ALL year round
Have a great time luv

It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.

We are still at home, she's not really improved. We are at the max we can give now at home. Still not too happy to be totally responsible for so much of her 'needs' Nurse will be back again this evening. I think they'll give until tomorrow at this level before sending us in if there is no improvement. She's just had the next dose of extra steroid. So hopefully that along with the other stuff will start to kick her bits into working on their own again.
Her numbers look a little higher today still too low for what I like and feel happy with though
Other two being brilliant really though. We've cancelled our plans and are just having a day at home. They have plenty to keep them entertained and be out the way though.
I've took the real tree down out the living room and moved youngest's bed into the living room. I'm hoping someone calls in to take over 'watching' so I can grab a shower and breather.“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -
Hope the wee one improves and is able to stay home and that all of you can enjoy the rest of the holidays together

Smallest still the same.
Older two been playing with lego for over 4 hours this afternoon! They are fed, showered and in bed. I've finished cleaning round downstairs - everything takes so much longer while having to have a constant watch on youngest. Much easier now she has her bed in the living room though.
Need to sort some food and coffee for myself and find something to watch I think.“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -
Take care honey... hope all goes well with the little one XI Believe.....
That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.
happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy0 -
Hope she and you both have a peaceful night xxI think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)
