[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 609195, member: 1991"] G'day, people. SFR, it's scary when our loved ones (no matter how many legs they have) are not well. It's Friday morning here and this is the first chance I've had to really check in, for ten days or more. easy child 2/difficult child 2 had her baby at the beginning of last week and there have been problems. He was getting transferred from hospital to hospital while they dealt with the small head injury from birth trauma. My girl has risen to the occasion marvellously, although it was a very difficult time since she could not stay in hospital and still see her baby - there were no beds for her to transfer to. On Monday they transferred the baby back to the hospital where he was born, which made things a lot easier. It was also a day when we had a lot of family here - it had been planned for weeks, but with the problems with the baby, it was a complicated and rushed gathering. Baby came home yesterday, in the full heat of an Aussie scorcher of a heatwave. Even last night when they came and had dinner with us at mother in law's, it was still over 30 C. I think it topped 38 C yesterday here (outside). The kids have no air conditioning (they have moved in to our place). Living with mother in law means not being able to supervise difficult child 3 as closely as I'd like. He's been living on noodles and neglecting his showering. In yesterday's heat he was still wearing his winter pyjamas in the middle of the day (I had to drop in for a few minutes). I can't leave mother in law for long, so I can't be up at home for more than half an hour or so. Today I might have a little longer, the nursing service comes in for mother in law for two hours, although I will still be needed too for some of that time. Summer is definitely here early, although today is a cooler, greyer day. The maximum for our neck of the woods today is only 24 C, much more manageable after yesterday. Enjoy what is left of your week, my friends. I'm still playing catch-up. Marg [/QUOTE]
