[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 28538, member: 1991"] G'day, everyone. Good to see you finally get the jump on us, Janna. I'm glad you're enjoying warmer weather. Ours is warm agai too - hot today, hot tonight, very humid also. LDM, I'm glaad you're getting difficult child checked out again. I do think it's important to keep confirming/challenging diagnosis. Oceans, good luck with school. Joanne, I hope your difficult child isn't going through what our girl has been for the last few months. We just got back from the hospital. It's been a very long day - we left an hour before sunrise - the sun still wasn't up when we got to the city. We brought the boys with us because difficult child 1 refused to catch the 8 am school ferry, the bullying is so out of control in our village. They would rather get up three hours early instead. The boys walked to the habitat zoo from the hospital, did difficult child 3's school excursion then walked back. easy child 2/difficult child 2 is still in hospital, she's got a bad reaction to the anaesthetic. She's still on the drip and probably will be at least until morning, maybe longer. She tried to eat a little soup and mash but was just feeling too sick. The surgeon was very late finishing his list so we didn't see him until after 7 pm. He said her appendix was a bit swollen and inflamed, so it WAS getting worse as we thought. Poor easy child 2/difficult child 2 - she is normally very pale anyway, but this afternoon she was almost as white as the hospital linen. I looked at her hands on the sheet - they really did look like they'd been carved from alabaster. Even when awake she was not talking much at all, mostly using sign language. She has slept most of the time, BF2 taking up station beside her bed for a lot of the time also. With the shower chair, we had three chairs altogether in her room, for four of us. difficult child 3 used the floor to do his schoolwork (which kept him quiet). Every so often we would get up and change chairs, like the Madhatter's Tea Party. She has a lovely window view over the centre of Sydney. Just on sunset we could see the Sydney Botanic Gardens giant colony of Flying Foxes (fruit bats) fly off to the distant orchards, so many they look like migrating birds, or smoke. An occasional one would swoop the hospital, which is how we could identify them. Each one is the size of a small cat. We're not sure when she is to be discharged - it depends on how quickly she shakes off the anaesthetic. I won't be surprised if they keep her until the weekend. But it could be tomorrow. Whichever it is - her appendix is now out and she will soon recover fully. I'm heading for bed soon to get the sleep I've missed over the last few nights. Have a good Wednesday! Marg [/QUOTE]
