Sure is Linda....they go back to school on feb 3rd...

Ashton is supposed to start Dialysis on monday 7th Feb ...we have to work out whether we are taking the kids (armed with school work) or ask other parents to have them for a week or so until hubby can come back......
I spoke to the school principal and she said they have to go to school or have work with them...I said I know that... thats what we have to work out....

Tania...have you asked at the hospital if they have a teacher on staff?? They must have someone to help the kids out who are long term inpatients. I am sure PMH in Perth has such a facility that can be used for families staying in Ronald McDonald House as well.

Your principal sounds like a drip! I am sure this is tnot the only time this situation has occurred in the history of the Education Dept!!

Social work at the hospital may be able to help as well... It is possible that you will need something in place for the future for B & J...you don't want to be spending too much time apart.

Actually the principal is pretty good just doesn't understand that when we start the dialysis is will be going on for so long in hospital before we can come home and do it our selves IYKWIM I said I would catch up with her asap in regards to the school work 🙂
If hubby learns the dialysis machine etc pretty quick then he will come back home with Jade n Braydan and continue working on the farm while I stay in the hospital with chubba....just means he will have do the 5hr travelling to see us when he can:-)

I take back my comment about the principal...but really could they have been any less helpful??? I just find it so annoying that people have to fight to get support...and especially when they are in country areas...

morning
Ashton had a good nights sleep he woke a very happy chubba 🙂 he is handling the extra 100ml to the over night feed.....
hubby weighed chubba last night on the digital scales they where right on 13kg so hopefully all the polyjoule is adding weight like we wanted 🙂
Have hubbys youngest sister and family coming out here for lunch...not sure if they are planning to stay or go back to the cabin they have been using the last couple of days while they have been on holidays.

:-)

Have a lovely day!:-)

morning
