    (((hugs))) for you AnW'smum and Nikki. Been thinking of you both today.


    Ihave to say i am worried about todays docotrs. My niece was ill for about 1 week and my mum took her to the doctors who said just a bug. My mum ended up doing this 4 days in a row to be told the same 'just a bug'. We went to a night doctor who checked for meningitis-it wasn't told us it was just a bug. The following day took my niece to the doctor as she was so ill and she was sick all over the doctors surgery :D he said yes take her to A&E. They took her in and that even her heart stopped beating!!! Thankfully they revived her (only because my dad went running out to tell someone) The following day thankfully she was taken to Great Ormand Street Hospital and was diagnosed with Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome and has Cerebral Palsy. IK do wonder if an earlier diagnosis would have stopped this. Have to say she is a wonderful child though.


    Right I think I have babbled enough-certainly good at that- so I am of to watch The Night Garden with DD. :D

    Mumof2 - big hugs for your niece and her family. That sounds quite scarey!

    Right, my 5 minute heads up from work is over, so back to it...

    NKJAL, you must be really pleased that your son is doing so well now. You are right, once you get your child into the correct care and beyond the GP the care is usually fantastic.

    I have managed to get DS2 to make tonight's dinner and vacuum the lounge.

    I have looked at tomorrow's list but as my 'kids' are all over 16 they can do their own rooms. I might just do some of the extras instead.

    Just popping in to say Hi. Still not flying to the list this week but getting overdue stuff sorted each evening anyhow so I'm not being a completely lazy bag.
    Stuffed full of HM cakes (mostly chocolatey) from a MacMillan nurses fundraiser we did at work today and having pains where I reckon my liver is. That'll teach me!
    Tonight is pantry and food cupboard night, I'm seriously adrift with what's in lately and spent half my grocery budget already.

    Just wanted to say too I've been following the posts of the inquest, AnW'smum, my best long distance hugs to you and the children and vibes to keep you going. Nikki, some for you too. Upsetting times.

    Big, big !!!!!!!!{hugs}}}}

    I suspect that was the verdict you were expecting but I suspect it's been very difficult to hear it out loud, and publicly and all over the press. I suspect you're beating yourself up in that you feel you should have done more to help your man. I suspect you feel very guilty.

    You shouldn't.

    From what I've read, Ian was under intolerable pressure trying to do the job he loved in the way he was capable of doing. But bureaucracy intervened and pressured him too much.

    Oooh, and this is sooo easy to say, but I need to say it. Now the inquest is done and the verdict is given, you can move on - slowly but surely. You have two beautiful children who need you.

    I shall get a balloon on Saturday and let it free with you all in mind

    AnW's - I'm so sorry I don't know what to say...not sure how you feel about the verdict, its so tragic and shocking, but regardless weather you think the verdicts right or not its another hurdle done for you, after losing someone its one after another, another day done, my heart breaks when I think about whats happened, you must be left with so many questions that can't be answered, you've been so strong, nows the time for YOU and your babies, please accept all help given and don't feel you have to be strong for others now. I hope you find some peace xxx
