[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 105881, member: 1991"] G'day, everybody. Sharon I, I wish I could see your snow. We quite enjoyed the snow we experienced in New Zealand, once we were safe in the town. It was lovely to wake up in the morning to a winter wonderland, it was something we'd never experienced before. And the view we had was already marvellous - a glacial lake surrounded by high mountains. The snow went right down to the waterline. Then later, driving north, we drove through more wonderful scenery, all white and icy blue, the snow-covered mountains reflected in the glacier-fed lake. I was sorry to leave it behind, although husband was glad to be on safer roads. Sharon II, I think your day was even warmer than ours - an Australian summer! We had some very light misty rain this morning, although it was heavy enough overnight to flood our north road to the highway. Luckily the floodwaters were down by the time easy child 2/difficult child 2 & I had to drive out this afternoon. She had to see the gastroenterologist, to see why she has been feeling sick after eating for the last few months. Linda, I do hope things go well for kt & wm. And with your appointments also. It will be good to get it out of the way before Christmas. easy child 2/difficult child 2 is now booked in for an isotope scan, to see how her GI tract functions. The specialist thinks she may have gastroparesis, which I'd not heard of before. If she does, it could account for the appendicitis also. A lot of tests, including ECG and many blood tests, all to be done before Christmas because he wants to see her in early January. There are a number of things he wants to rule out, including diabetes. He seems to be a very good doctor. I also saw a certificate on the wall for the University Medal (Sydney Uni) so he must be good. Tomorrow we take difficult child 3 to school for the Presentation Day. mother in law & husband are coming too. Teachers kept asking if we would be there, saying it would be good to see difficult child 3 for Presentation Day. His Year Advisor has told me quietly that he is to get the Year 8 Year Advisor's Award, which difficult child 3 doesn't know. I don't know if there's anything else; for difficult child 3, that will still be amazing. This is a kid who simply wasn't learning anything in mainstream; we're still finding gaps in his education. Then after we've finished at the school, we'll go and get more Christmas shopping done. We've got to somehow take back mother in law's Christmas present, a digital photo frame which isn't working, husband wanted to load some photos on it and re-pack it, so when she opens it it's already got lots of pictures of her grandkids on it. But it seems that it won't work with Macs. It seems weird - surely you just load jpegs onto it? We only have a few days to sort this one out before she flies to Perth to spend Christmas with husband's sister and family. I'm now going to immerse myself in info on gastroparesis. 'Tis a puzzlement.' Enjoy your Wednesday. Marg [/QUOTE]
