    Oh my! Just made a new friend at the pool. It's tiny! It tried to join me in the pool and me splashing it to get it to go away didn't work so I had to grab it and walk out of the pool with it.

    Found it's owners and told them it was trying to get in the pool. They blocked up their gate so hopefully it won't escape again.

    What a new pal to make witchie, what a beauty, they look like there only a small fella :3

    In bed, no school run til 12:30 so taking advantage and the girl the boy and myself had porridge in bed :D lovely Monday.

    It's also the anniversary of Elliot being sedated, intubated and blue lighted from Mayo General to Crumlin, do yis remember? The start of 6 weeks in icu, being told he had enough lung surface to survive off ventilation and finally (on my dad's birthday) graduating from icu to the heart unit..
    I've just spent the last 2 hours (I forgot to turn off my alarm) going back to last year and rereading this thread.. Holy fcuk, the memories. He's now blowing raspberries beside me and shouting his head off.
    The support I got from all of you was amazing, this might just be a little thread on boards but, I love how we mind each other. I'm finding it difficult to stop crying this morning, it's a mixture of sadness, for what happened in the first place and the effect it had on him, happiness that he's here at all and the fun and love he brings with him. I'm reliving every emotion in a big blur of flashing memories.
    So if I haven't said it lately, Thank you, you will never know how much you helped me with your kind words and thoughts.

    Not long home after a 24 hour shift and waiting for sleep to take me away to bed but I'm on a second wind at the moment.

    Coincidence but I was on duty yesterday, and the same day 100 years ago my great grandfather was also on duty in France when the guns fell silent. I wonder what he was doing today 100 years ago, probably planning on having a few beers (finally) like I'll be doing tonight to reset my body clock :D

    Aww Cbyrd, thank you for telling us Elliot's story. It was our privilege to go on that journey in our own small way. Your victories and good moments were high points for us too. You have been so amazingly strong and deserve the joy of your wee man thriving.

    On the sofa trying to work but just not feeling it today.

    Aw, cbyrd, I'm so glad everything turned out okay in the end. I wasn't a frequent poster here this time last year, so I wasn't here when things were at their worst, but I'm glad that a year on, things are so much better.


    I'm just about to head off to induction for my new job

    Bed, clockwatching.. Bad week health wise...

    A little shaken as when I went to the post bag, there was a huge, huge dead rat near it.. ANOTHER one and this one was kitten sized. I steeled myself to get a shovel, then found a second one.... shuddders..

    This is where my big boy loves to sit so it must be a rat run/track . He is in a bad mood just now because of the new kids so apparently this is his outlet.... lol.....

    so I retreated back to bed...;)

    Blinded by the low sun. But another fantastic evening. Going now to gather up some more leaves, top up the bird feeders, set the fire, sort out the mess in the shed, prepare dinner.....times racing by!

    In the car listening to the radio and watching the wipers do their thing to the rain as it falls across the windshield. Gave the interior a valet as I'm trying to be productive today. Think I did a pretty good job. Also got a haircut today finally and met a few friends I hadn't seen in months. Heater on full blast here and I don't want to leave. I'm tired and in pain and not up to facing the doctor in a while. Urgh :(
