Di, you need to be OK in yourself, as well as as a Mum. But I can see why you feel that Tom must come first at the moment. Give him all my love and a big hug, I know he will be fine.

You truly are an inspirational person, I wish I had your strength. It is all I can do at the moment in my situation not to break down. One fo the little girls I work with had a degenerative (wasting) disorder. When she was about 4/5, she was perfectly healthy, now she has many medical problems, no speech, no motor control - she can't grasp, point, sign, even control her hand movements (she makes continual wringing movements). She communicates through eye-pointing, and can shout and cry out and things, but with no words. Her life is a constant battle to be understood. She and I have a very special relationship - I just understand her so well. I see her a lot outside work, I know her family well and to be honest I love her very much. Recently, she has had a very bad time with the condition, and has lost the abiltity to walk completely (she was always wobbly, but could walk a few hundred metres, slowly, Now she can't cross a room, she is in her chair all the time.) Seeing her frustration is so heart-breaking, and she isn't my child. I can imgaine what you go through, and I don't know if I could cope. I admire you so much.

It's rare that I find a good quote, but when I do, I'll laugh for ages!

Urgh, my arm is bruised where they took the blood. It's shocking how big the bruise is!

Evening ladies.

I read though the whole thread this evening, what a hoot! Thank God I'm not the only one with a dirty mind!

Evening ladies.

It depends on how healthy your veins are, and what you do after having the blood taken from you. If you lift more than 4 pouds in weight, it will given you a darker bruise.

Expect a little something from me too soon. Although, I sent it because I felt it might share you up, and not because, I have to admit, it is your birthday... I am very forgetful

The awesome card came this morning Mar! Thanks, it is very nice of you; Yeah the card is very cute and jolly to. It is great to see what cards are like from different countries.

Thanks again Mar! hun. I hope all is well with my girlfiends this morning/evening;.

Toms finding very difficult at bedtime, bless him. He is just as most of us are, I suppose. When we are not been distracted by what ever, we do during the day, our minds start to think about things that have passed, or what is coming up.

He said, he felt crap, not the ill kind, all mixed up and emotional, bless him. Therefore, I just did what any parent would do. Hugged and listened to his fears, and tried my very best to understand what was going off in the mind.

Then give him my thoughts and gave him truthful answers. As there is no point covering it up making it sound all sweet and nice like candy.

As well in my opoin, if you are truthful at the start (I know too well, it can be very difficult and painful at times to do so for your child/teen and yourself). Your child/teen will respect you more and come back for help and advice, if your honest with them.
