Morning all.Seems like its been forever since I have been in to chat.Darcy started back at school last Tuesday and has been of since Thursday with a cold.We got a letter home on Tuesday saying that any signs of cold or flu symptoms children must stay at home because of swine flu.Darcy has been coughing and sniffling so had to keep him home.He is bored out of his mind because he loves school and his little brother is annoying him.We are at the I'm going to hit and kick" stage with our youngest.He is attacking everyone including mum and dad.We are getting our new babies today.4 laying hens.Darcy has named them Henny Penny KFC Kiev and Cousin Boneless.
Like your family Kiwi our GP has been in our family for 40 years.He delivered me when I was born and because of this wonderful man my dad was the 2nd man in Australia to have a triple bypass.I could never go to another GP so Im lucky he has a big surgery and they all know us and whenever the kids are sick I can be sure to get in straightaway with very little waiting time.

Evening all

Hope you are all well.

Just a quick update.......My eldest slipped over at work, hit her head, had a seizure which lasted for about 2 minutes, has two lacerations on her upper right eye lid which required eight stitches in total, had a CT scan and a chest xray (all clear).

Took her to a Neurologist for a EEG...........she now has epilepsy and has to take more medication.

Have to go back to the Neurologist on Wednesday....I just hope we receive good news.

Hi Dolly

How have you and your family been?

I just hope she doesn't have to have too many more tests.

She had to have a blood test today so the Dr can give her the correct dosage of medication.

The Dr has put her on Tegretol.

I thought the poor girl had enough to deal with already.

Hi Lisa :-x
we have been ok, joe has been having lots of problems with his asthma, but is getting better now. he spent the weekend at his dads place who actually took the boy to the doctor!! *dolly faints from the shock* AND he paid for it, and a persciption, without trying to make me pay half of it!! *faints again*
the doctor finally put him on a preventitive, and it has done wonders, he is a differant kid now asthma-wise. hubby might be buying his dream car for a bargain (friend of a friend) so he is VERY happy. tahlia has been toddleing along in her own little world, as she does... lol and I have been trying to keep the house in some sort of order between helping one of my besties plan her wedding, and visiting my other bestie who is very, very unwell, she starts five weeks of treatment later this week so will probably have her 3yr old here quite a bit while her mummy is in and out of hospital.

I hope all goes well with the tests lisa, and the poor girl doesnt end up a pin cushin.
