Hi everyone. Just to bring you up to date. I came home from the hospital today. I'm feeling much better but still have a way to go before I'll be back to normal. The final dignosis seems to be a virus resulting in a severe chest infection which caused my respitorary distress. Thankfully they don't seem to think I will have any ongoing problems with asthma etc.
Thanks so much to you all for your kind thoughts and words. This really is a remarkable place at times 
I'll probably go back to my usual lurker role from here on in 
Lurker, great to hear you are on the mend. This place is a wonderful source of support & strength! I can't tell you how it's helped me over this past year. โค๏ธ
Things have been up & down (as expected), mediation has been interesting, it is going along fine, I really hope we can make a parenting plan that we are both happy about, and avoid court.... you never know, we might just be able to work on things to have an amicable divorce.
The teens are enjoying the school holidays, and of course I'm the taxi and the bank for them!! LoL
My little Princess has had 2 days at Daycare and coping well, my grandparents are off on their big final European trip tomorrow! I will really miss them, when they travel, but due to their ages, they won't be eligible for travel insurance after this year so they are doing a final trip back home to Austria to catch up with family/ friends.
I'm feeling very positive in general that I've made good decisions for myself n my kids and we are so happy with such positive energy in our home! Doing some small reno's to feel refreshed, repaint lounge room feature wall, redo Miss 16 room, and maybe my own too?! Making the back pergola area lovely for Miss Samantha once the weather gets better cos she loves outdoors!
Would REALLY love a new car, although my lil Honda Civic is a fab car, it's just too small with a baby seat in the back and a 6. Foot tall son!
Ok, that's my update and hope everyone else is in a good place right now..... Cyber hugs and best wishes to all. X

Happy 18 months Miss Samantha. She's our little CS miracle
Lurker I hope you are feeling better ๐
All is well here. Just busy with work and keeping on top of family and cleaning and doing the garden. I was out in the garden the other day with a saw in my hand sawing the overgrown branches. I remembered a tip from who knows .. who said 'let the saw do the work'. It does work! You concentrate the energy in the saw not your arm. Which is good because I have rheumatoid arthritis. I had to take some pandol afterwards but I did it! I am woman. I am strong. I wear orange knickers.
Happy Birthday Samantha
Thanks Ms Mioux, I am feeling much better today. Every day is an improvement. I am even thinking about going to visit friends later this afternoon.
Because OH has been so nice to me and because it's State of Origin tonight I am cooking again today. I am making him pie and chips 
Curried Lamb Pies (without the cumin 
) and Heston Blumenthal's triple cooked chips 
I hope he appreciates it.
Hi to everyone, and hope you are all well and happy
