So much has happened since last posting!

Well, it's been a long silence I guess, but life sort of snowballed on me!
T has turned 3! And W has turned 10 - heaven help us!
P has seriously injured his foot...treading on a nail.
And I've learnt a new dance - the medical limbo - no, not going over hurdles, or even under them. Just not going anywhere at all! That'll be a post all on it's own :-)
Anyway we've been busy!

Here's a post I sent to a group I belong to as we approached T's birthday -

3 years ago today I was finally hospitalised for the last time in my pg with T. I was 35 weeks and 4 days and while that seems like the Holy Grail to some, when the OB asked me if I wanted to have this baby now my immediate and gut instinct was ‘No, it’s too soon.”

I managed to last an extra few days in hospital and made it to 36 weeks exactly before I started to twitch and pre-e caught up with me completely and the game was over.

We celebrate T’s birthday with a party tomorrow – and it’s the first that he’s actually understood and got excited about – even double and triple checking P’s coming! Yes, we are married and live together but P’s often out and so T

It’s funny really, while W had various dxs by age 3 although not his final and most complete one (Asperger’s), and we thought we had N taped (ADHD dx last year) I feel that T holds a lot more shoes to fall and that we really don’t have any measure of where he’s at or what’s ahead like we did with the other two.

The GP on Friday was saying that T's reflux surgery will be a major step out of the way and well on our way to sorting him out. I pointed out that that is just a small step on the way to sorting out his eating and also his developmental delays. Maybe as protection for myself, maybe it’s just the way I work, I’m focussing beyond the surgery. That I can’t do, but recovery, eating and developmental progress I can work on. That’s where I feel I need to concentrate now.

But it amazes me, with all the pain and trials T has been through that he’s still the sunny person he is! And that’s what we’re celebrating tomorrow – with a helicopter cake (heaven help me!) coloured blue as that’s the only colour he knows!!
