Thanks for the kind words folks. :)

Yes he's fine now and co-incidentally, we're due to see his consultant tomorrow. Sadly, he's been having more fits than normal over the last few months so he's going to need a third medication (he's already on the highest dose of both the others he has to take). :( It's all a bit worrying as it's almost a trial and error situation we're told so we're just praying that it works and he doesn't have any serious side effects.

Thankfully, he's a strong, happy lad and, despite all his problems, he brings us so much joy and we treasure every day with him.

Well we've all just started to take it in turns to cook each night of the week, and my turn was tuesday, and I had to peel some potato's with a (in my opinion) useless peeler, so she bought me one that I can actually use :D

Glad it all turned out ok :tu:

Good luck with the operation, hope it all works out.


Thanks so much. I'm looking forward hopefully for the pain to be gone once I get this op done and have a pain free life again. Cant remember what It's like at this stage to be pain free :(

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Seconded! All the best.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Sooo pleased for you defirish, get it over and done with and be bright eyed and bushy tailed for Christmas! Yeh!!!

Jeepers your heart must have been in your mouth Osem, and all the time all he really wanted was to see his Daddy, bless! Seriously though, I hope they can prescribe something that will ensure his fits can be kept under control. That would be one worry less for you and Mrs.:hugs:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thanks so much Tinky. Now I have to get my brain around the idea and not freak myself out about going in :( It will be over before I know it. Have to keep telling myself that :D:D:D:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Nice one it will be over before you know it.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well it's a done deal - a third medication to be commenced after Xmas unless things go pear shaped beforehand. The paediatrician has recommended something that's usually well tolerated by children with only minor side effects (if any) so hopefully he'll be OK and then we can think about reducing his original medication if all goes well. I don't like him having to pop so many pills and potions but it's all a bit 'suck it and see' like really. Fingers, toes and anything else we can cross is being crossed right now.

Anyway, all the best to those of you suffering trying times too - I always try to remember that there are plenty of people far worse off than we are.

It seems to have taken a long time to get to this point but I have just spent the morning doing what I used to think was one of the most boring things in my world, prepping canvases. It feels soooooo good to be getting back to work. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Good stuff indeed :tu: :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Put it into perspective - you will live a life without pain :) A small inconvenience of an operation is well worth it in the great scheme of things :hugs:

Fingers crossed for you :)

I suppose one good thing to come out of all this is not to take things for granted - so glad you are feeling much better :hugs:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Believe me I know and I keep looking beyond the day of the op and looking into the future when It's all over and done with. Thanks so much superbiath for your kind words :hugs:
