At least it was out side the house door. Unfortunately my wife and I had the worst Christmas ever. She had a miscarriage with our second child on Xmas eve and spent yesterday in hospital. So as bad as things are they could be worse.
Can't wait for 2012 to end. Roll on 2013

Fibrile convulsions are frightening especially the first time it happens,one of ours used to suffer with them luckily she grew out of them think it had somethng to do with her teeth.
Youd think you were mad standing outside on a cold winters night holding a child until her temperature came down but you got used to it.

ye, she has more or less grown out of them now, hers where teeth and ear related , absolutely mental in out of hours doctors , thought we would never be called....

Don't know what weather is like elsewhere but it's turned nasty here, just in from shed, blowing a gale and rain, looking at bales of silage I am going to have to purchase, more money,

Seems like your place is gone like mine. No other service industry would get aways with such a joke of a business. FFS, it doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure that Stephens morning would be a busy time for the doctor. The sooner a decent business person is running a large chunk of the HSE and all other wings the better. Hope your kid is on the mend Whelan as you seem to be in the wars at the moment with them. Crap to hear of your loss Sea12, your turn will hopefully be just around the corner, when one door closes another is opened so hold tough, crushing for both of you's

Been down that road too. There's nothing anyone can say to help how it feels. Give it time is all I can say, but that's not easy either. Life's a road with many, many turns and twists, none of us know what's round the next bend, just as well too.

Thanks for all the comments. My reason for putting up my story is that as bad as things are on the farm and we all have bad times once they are outside they are tolerable. Sometimes we dont see that at the time. Thanks for comments and here's to a better 2013 for all.

I'm sorry to hear that sea12. We had a miscarriage 6 weeks ago after 17 weeks. Would have been our second child and son. Have gone through disbelief, sadness, anger, rage, guilt at this stage, felt like somebody was missing from the table Christmas day and feels like nothing will ever be fun
any more. Like you cant wait to see the back of 2012. Wish I could offer more support but I'm only one page ahead in the book.

My problems are petty compared to yours. I'm really sorry to hear that, I cant imagine how hard that must be

Sorry for your trouble Sea12. My wife had 2 but relatively early. 8/9 weeks and 13 weeks. we already had 3 at the time so it softened the blow to some degree + 3 youngsters don't give you much time to think. I was amazed at the time how quickly Mrs Fic seem to "get over it" at the time it seemed to hardly take a shake out of her but we were talking about it recently and it turns out she was putting on a front for a while. We had other problems to contend with and she decided to deal with this one on her own. She got past it to but just be aware your wife may try to do the same and the results mightened be as good. Keep talking to her about it. For me, certainly in the early part of the pregnancies I always felt fairly detached from things and I know the miscarriages didn't affect me in remotely the same way as they affected my wife. This was a good thing in certain ways as I could just get on with whatever needed to be done with kids or work but it also made me less aware of how it was affecting her.

I supppose the upshot of what I'm saying is don't assume if she says she's ok that she is ok for a while at least.

This morning just reminded me why I don't drink much anymore, all I can say is help, went out last night thinking I was 21 again (and that birthday was a while ago) brother is home from oz so tore the ass out of it and now I am sitting here feeling sorry for my self, I'd swear my wife gave my youngest son that drum on purpose,
