My journey to a debt free life

Well today didn't pan out as well as I had hoped,I got a call from DD1 at 7.30 am asking me to go over there straightaway as she was having a full on panic attack
I had an inkling that there was something more going on than a cold and it seems I was right she has just found out she is 6 weeks pregnant and has very bad morning sickness ,now In a normal person this would not be an issue but she does suffer with anxiety attacks and an extreme phobia of being sick so is having awful panic attacks because she feels really sick all the time
It's not helped at all by the fact that DGS is really poorly with a virus and has an awful cough and cold

I got here at 9ish this morning and have been here all day,my son in law had to go to London today for his business so that's why she called me to come around,there isn't a lot I can do to help to be honest because these anxiety attacks have no rhyme or reason so we don't know the cause,normally the gp gives her diazepam but she can't have that because of being pregnant

She went to the doctors and he signed her off for a week so at least she doesn't have to go to work but I don't know what she is going to do tomorrow,her mother in law has DGS tomorrow so at least he will be being looked after but he won't be able to go to nursery on Thursday because he is too ill,I've told her I will come back out if she needs me to

I'm shattered now but can't go home until my son in law gets back which at this rate is going to be late and I'm supposed to be getting the bus as well:(

Poor DD was lucky that she didn't have sickness the first time round but this is lasting all day,she can't eat and has had about half a glass of lucozade all day

Poor DGS is in his cot coughing away but he has had calpol and brufen,I don't think anyone is getting any sleep here tonight

Oh dear poor DD and poor you. Lovely news about a new grandchild though .

Kate Middleton had bad morning sickness didn't she? If DD can't eat she will need help from her doctor, but hopefully things won't get that bad.

You'll be going back to work for a rest at this rate! I know you say you can't do much but I'm she finds it very comforting just having you there.

OBL , sending best wishes to your DD and DGS that are better soon. Plus yourself , you must be shattered and I hope not in pain.

Can you get a taxi home just this once? Would you qualify for special leave on Thursday?

Just popping in to say hello! I’ve just caught up on your diary and I think you are doing amazing! Well done for saving for Christmas and all of the planning you have put in place to ease the pressure, I hope your daughter is feeling better soon and congratulations on the new baby news!

Wow, that's big news! Congratulations I'm sorry to hear she and DGS and consequently you and your SiL are having a rough time of it though.

I'm sure it makes all the difference to her just having a supportive adult nearby.

Lovely news for you about the new grandchild, but difficult for your daughter to feel so ghastly.....& for you if you are going to be having to do a lot of support. Hope things pick up for her & it starts to lessen soon.

It was a pretty horrible day and the news about the new baby sort of got lost in the general chaos of the day,I did congratulate her but at that moment I think she was wondering gnwhT she has let herself I for :eek:
The doctor gave her some anti sickeness tablets in the end

Thanks CL,it's too far to get a taxi,it would cost about £30,I'm actually off today it was yesterday I was worried about butnwork is so manic there was no chance of a day off
I was shattered yesterday but not as bad today,and thankfully not too much pain touch wood
