And she lived long enough to see a couple of her great-great grandchildren. How cool is that?

The quoll family will be in my thoughts.

My husband's aunt died early this morning.

Short version, I'm heading off to bed.
My wife had a show of blood, which at 29 weeks is not good, so we made a dash to the local doc, (ours is away, ) he sends us onto the hospital for an ultrasound, drop the kids off with my sis on the way. Wait there for over an hour for him to show up, his diagnosis is that her membrane has ruptured, which will mean a three hour trip to Melbourne for specialist preterm care, plus hospitalisation for up to a month if she doesn't deliver, but first he sends us to the larger hospital in the next town, which gives us plenty of time to come to grips with the reality of our situation, not to mention what to do about the kids, my job, (I work nights) etc etc.
After arriving at the next hospital the midwife there asks a few simple questions, the main one being what was the docs impression after doing the internal, "What internal"?
Anyway she calls in the ob-gyn and he does an internal, cervix is closed and the mucus plug is intact, his apparently correct diagnosis, is a small placental bleed, not uncommon given my wifes pre-existing conditions, still something to be cautious about but not as drastic as we were first led to believe, she has been allowed home providing she takes it easy.
So yeah, I'm pissed at the first doc for basically palming us off onto the other hospital without doing a thorough exam and I'm still trying to sort out all the emotions we were hit with because of it.
Lucky this s the short version huh.
Night all.

Eilan, I'm so sorry for your loss, I hope both of your memories of her are beautiful ones.



Please keep us in your thoughts, Possy has had more bleeding overnight so we are off to the hospital once again, if nothing else we are a bit calmer and somewhat more prepared today.

Hmmm, is this where I say please or thank you?

or, perhaps hand you the key to that industrial vat of KY?

*I really hope it is NOT your receiver...*

EJFan said:

pleasteasme said:

Ugh... ok.

*worried, because for a split second, I read your post as: "I just set the house on fire."* Then, remembered you gave up baking

EJFan said:

EJFan said:

close... pork. but a barnyard animal nonetheless.

fwiw, never had lamb (except for in a gyro... if that's what's in it).
