I was gonna wait till next scan in hosp
But I'm getting impatient already.
Doh.
Hoping if I get to Doppler it will keep me going for another bit.
But so tempted by private one.
Wish we had them cheaper here.
 
I read ice hockey as just hockey.
Sounds cool.
Does he get injured much?
Hope not id be scared watching them
But I suck at skating
Balance isn't my strongest point
 
Not mine he has been playing since he was 3 he is so padded up its rare for them to get injuries whilst playing a match or during practice

Off the ice is a different matter we have had countless black eyes skated related cuts and he knocked his 2 front baby teeth so hard one chipped and they fell out a few weeks after was an anxious wait as the dentist said he hit them so hard he may have damaged the adult teeth thankfully they are fine he just had no teeth for about a year as they weren't ready to come out and various other injuries all due to messing with his team mates!

Private scans aren't cheap here either way wish they were I would be there every other day lol

Not sure about a doppler had one with Lucas it was ok but I guess they are a lot better now than they were ten years ago couldn't hear a thing on it until about 16-18 weeks just made me paranoid
 
Maryanne - LOVE the picture! I miss so much not being able to get on each day. I'd be worried sick about ice hockey, it sounds like you handle it well Lucasmom! Good for you!

I started taking a fiber supplement this week to help with constipation...I couldn't believe I had it. I never had, and we eat sooooo much produce and drink a ton of water. It helped and only needed the 1 serving with my smoothie in the morning, but it makes me so full I don't want to eat for hours...anybody take metimucil or any other fiber supplement? I also bought prune juice and drank that the days I didn't have the fiber powder.
 
Ouchie on the teeth Lucas mom.
Thank god it didn't damage his adult ones though xx
Glad he us fine on the ice x
I finally fell asleep last night, so delay, sorry :)
Xx
Do ye hve bank hol today too?
We do but Oh works them ( online games)
So feels like we don't :)
 
I took fybogel a few days last week
It helped hugely!!
Now I haven't taken it in a few days
But I needed it to get things moving properly again.
I got constipation with my son too.
Just annoying side effect of hormones :)
A smoothie everyday helps lots too xx
I still hve fybogel left so if I've any sign of slowing
I'll be back on it right away :)
I do not wanna go back to how bad I got last week :)
 
Oh about the Doppler Lucas mom.
I had one with ds and could hear no prob.
But depends on positioning and everything too
If I cant hear in first few days
I'll prob be right off for private scan
S could end up annoying and costing more than reassuring
But hoping it will be like ds.
Was a god send with him
 
Wish I could fast forward and be home with bub :)
 
Hope everyone is on today? We had a lovy back holiday. Weather hadn't been great but it's been lovely having DH home and getting some family time. Sad that today is the last day before all goes back to normal :(

Ice hockey sounds awesome lucusmum. My boy does karate with his dad. They are a great class, although cause of his disabilities he can't do much they never exclude him. He got his first belt a few weeks back, was so proud.

Hope your ok lilesmom. Hope the time passes quickly before your next scan. The waiting is so hard. Hopefully your doppler comes soon and relieves some of your worry.

Thanks hmmohrma. I was so pleased with the pictures. Hope your keeping ok?
 
Bank hol here I'm working it though, I dont mind as its double pay and I get to extra holiday days added for everyone I work

The ice hockey scared the living day lights out of me the first time he had practice I was ready to pull him of the ice it looked like carnage but its actually very organised we have been in the game for just under 7 years now so it all goes a bit over my head now, his team have just won the league so they get to play nationals in a couple weeks which is a bit like the ice hockey version of the FA cup for kids

Well don to your son getting his belt in karate :flower:
 
Glad ye had a nice weekend Maryanne xx
Enjoy today too xx
I'm grand again today.
Just had a wobbly day yest :)
Feeling much better today again xx
Thanks
Well done on the belt.
Nice to hve hobbies and group stuff.
I'm looking forward to squish starting playschool in sep now
I think he us going to love it
He doesn't love other kids
But he is getting better with them
Think it will do him huge good

Lucas mom I suppose u get a bit immune to it 7 yrs in alright :)
Well done on them for getting on so well.
My job before now I got triple pay for bank hol too
So never minded doing them :)
 
Ps it's a special playschool so everything will be geared towards him :)
Nurse in The class and all for his epilepsy
 
Sounds like he will have a great time there

Lucas isn't the best with other kids but he manages doesn't really have a best friend which makes me sad but I've learnt to accept that's who he is
 
Sounds awesome lilesmom! I'm Sure he will love it.

Zack doesn't have any friends :( he has no idea how to socialise or what to say and his ticks frighten other children away. It breaks my heart, but his best friend is his dad. Those two are inseparable. It really melts my heart seeing them together. It's amazing considering my DH isn't my sons biological dad ( he chose not to be involved). DH came into his life when he was 1. He adopted him though and you really would never know. They are always together.
 
Yeah a lot of kids avoid Simon already.
He has no real interest in them
And cant talk or walk so to them he is boring
So most of them ignore him
I hve one niece who is 4 who is better than most adults with him.
She is like a little mommy :)
She is great.
She is a lot of the reason he is less afraid of kids now.
I'm hoping he can hve friends later
Cos he will be in school with all people who hve similar needs.
But I'm not sure how things will go.
It is heart breaking to think of our kids not having friends
But we do all we can to help and make up the deficit.
Xx
Glad ur dh had bonded with him so well Maryanne.
My niece has a little guy with autism.
Dad isn't around either.
But her boyfriend now is brilliant with him.
I think prob like ur hubby.
He knows him as dad now.
X
 
I always say to my son that friends aren't important, it's family that matters and he will always have us. It's still heartbreaking though. Think that's why DH and I want such a big family. DH has already expressed that he'd love another one soon after this baby. He says the kids will always have each other then. Sounds as though your son is going to going to a great school though lilesmom!
 
I've another nephew with dyspraxia and I think undiagnosed autusm.
He is in college now.
He struggled to make friends as a child and teenager.
But now has a lovely girlfriend
Is doing acting in college
And has some good friends
Hoping this can happen for our guys too.
Xx
One of my best friends works in the school
As a music therapist
So I hve her to keep an extra eye on him.
She is full of praise for the place and staff
So hopefully it goes well fir him.
Do u mind me asking why u chose home schooling?
Its something I was thinking of for squish too.
 
Zack was failing badly in mainstream. He was suffering with severe seperation anxiety, panic attacks, refusing to eat and being bullied horribly and by the age of 8 he still couldn't read or write. The fact he can't talk or walk properly made things even worse. He didn't qualify for a place in a special school so I had to make a drastic decision, and I'm so glad I did. He's such a happy contented little lad now. He's put on lots of weight, and hasn't had a panic attack in almost a year. And learning wise he's doing amazingly, he can read and write and loves maths. Wish I'd done it sooner. I won't lie, it's not easy, but it's been totally worth it.
 
How in the hell did he not qualify for a place, it infuriates me the people who make these decisions have really no idea what so ever.

Sounds like he has come on leaps and bounds though maryanne you must be so proud of him :flower:
 
Aw hugs hon xxx
Poor Zach and poor ye.
Glad ye made the big but brilliant decision to home school xx
I'm gonna see how squish goes
But if he struggles, ill take him out too.
He wont be mainstream for playschool.
But school is ? Until later.
But he most likely will 'Qualify ' for special school.
Hugs.
Its horrible some stranger makes that decision
When u know what's best for ur son .
Well done , I can imagine its difficult.
But soo worth it to see him come on so well x
