Prayers and thoughts needed.

[Noor]

Hang in there Quoll!

 

[NaughtyLil1]

I will say an extra prayer for you and your family.

 

[Ladybird]

Sending continuing love and hugs to Quoll and his family.

Quoll, maybe get a tape recorder so you can send messages and you all hear each other's voice. It might give the kids some reassurance their Mum is ok and missing them heaps too.

Continued prayers to you all.

Ed, prayers for your friend's intention too.

Well we are all still hanging in there, Possy and baby are doing well, in fact the baby is probably the happiest of us all, it continues grow and thrive.
Poss is still having some blood/fluid losses at various times, her blood tests are all coming back ok, although some of the markers they use to detect infection are slightly increased, once they reach a certain level then they will take her down for a caesarean, at the moment this seems to be the most likely scenario. Anyone who has had any dealings with hospitals will of course know that you can get 20 different answers to any question asked, so apart from the day to day questions about their health I take any suggestions about her coming to our local hospital with a grain of salt.

We all had a great time on the weekend, the eldest got to skip a day of school and we had many train and taxi journeys.
On the Friday they allowed us to take her for a bit of a stroll (wheel) downstairs for a few hours, . The kids have a mission to cover her cupboard doors wth drawings and messages, they also wrote notes to their future bro/sis, in it's pregnancy diary, ( yes I could have said sibling, but it just seems a bit too detached).

We were given a lift home by my brother, another adventure for the kids as he drives a semi trailer.
Hopefully this week we will be able to get ourselves into some sort of routine, I'm going to fight my natural instincts to try and fit everything in, I can't, and it simply backfires and the kids end up copping it, so what can be done will, and to hell with everything else.
Thanks for your continuing support (yes silver I know, but it's nice to say thank you ).

How wonderful!

Glad everyone's still hanging in there.

Quoll this is such encouraging news! You and your boys hang in there. Whatever gets done at home gets done. Don't sweat the incidentals.

Continued good thoughts coming your way. Please tell mrsquoll we're rooting for her.

BTW, your wife has a very cute name.

This is excellent news as well as Possy and the babe. Really fight that instinct Quoll, we all have to renew in order to give. Be grateful I'm not there because I'd tie you down if you tried to do too much... and not a good kind of tied down.

Sending virtual crayons to the kids.

 

[Quoll]

I'm going to print this thread out and mail it to her tomorrow, (it probably wont get stuck on the wall though ).

 

[wicked woman]

Fabulous update quoll (or The Q Man - cute Cate). Glad everyone had a gret visit and everyone is doing well. I'm sure Possy was glad to see you all as well.


Agreeing that the boys decorating the cupboards is a wonderful idea.

As for you...frankly ít's more important to your family that you're as ok as possible during this time for them...more so than a lot of the regular day to day stuff. So determine your priorities and leave it at that. Don't apologize for it. Don't feel guilty.

 

[Ladybird]

Thanks for the update Quoll.

You have a very warm and loving family, and that doesn't happen by accident. You have to give it, to recieve it.

I can't help but feel that this baby, this tough little fighter - is a girl.

And you are wise to just do what you can. There's no need to race about and get in a fluster, too many people are counting on you right now. You need to be strong and well grounded for them, so don't take on too much.

Love and hugs continue to flow from me to you and yours.

 

[EJFan]

quoll... you made my day with your good news and tales of great days.

continued best wishes to you all buddy!

 

[Quoll]

How wonderful!

Glad everyone's still hanging in there.

Great news quoll!

and I like the idea the boys have about the cupboards.

and the "to hell with everything else" plan, that sounds like a good plan.


I'll continue to keep you all in my thoughts.

You know, I had to go back and re-read my post to see what you were all so damn happy about, *wallaby smacks self* you're right, there is a lot to be happy for, I need to step back and smell the roses a bit more. Speaking of roses (nice segue huh ), I bought Poss a red rose in a cylinder, (when she was in hospital after her accident when she was 17, I bought her one of those every week (didn't know she was going to spend a total of nine moths in hospital at the time)), the woman at the florist shop stuck two little ladybirds on for good luck, seems this place follows me wherever I go.

 

[Eilan]

LMAO! I was trying to figure out who all the trolls were!

 

[Verbiwhore]

It must be a such a stressful time for you all, makes it hard to see the fun little things, but hearing about your love for your family makes them so damn clear to the rest of us.
Take time to care for yourself tho,.... Wishing you all the best.

 

[midwestyankee]

Quoll, I hope you had a great weekend visiting with Possy.

 

[silverwhisper]

amen to that, yank.

Absolutely fantastic news, Quoll. I echo the sentiments and wishes of the others here. I continue to keep your family in my prayers and remember to take time for YOU, too.

Wishing you & your Family all the best

A very good friend of my son's (like a brother, really) became a father about 2 months ago. He and his wife were parents of a beautiful little boy.

Last evening they lost their precious boy. He had a brain aneurysm yesterday afternoon, and passed away in their arms. This afternoon, my son came to me, in tears, to tell me the news. He and this young man grew up together, from the time they were toddlers.

I am at a loss for words. My heart is breaking for them, all of them. This little guy was the first grandchild on both sides of the family.

It is very very sad.

wow... this is so sad. i'm not a parent but i can only imagine the pain of losing a child at any age, let alone one so new to the world. it has to be devastating. i suppose the only comfort in this is that he likely didn't suffer with the aneurysm. if he had to be taken from his family so soon and suddenly, i hope that was the case.

your family and theirs are in my thoughts.
