halloween time again

James won first prize for best male dressed, last night at his school halloween party, he came home soooooooo happy :o) , always says to me i never win anything LOL, well here he is in all his glory................... spooky LOL

hi all :o)

thought id best pop in and say hello to everyone LOL, had a few traumatic weeks, and just havnt had the energy to do everything again. i think, fingers crossed that we have paul's pain control under control, hes on morphine now and this seems to have taken the horrendous, debilitating pain away, he is though very tired still all the time, im hoping once the pain relief really starts working he will be more his old self.
...............................................

one of our friends has arranged a special trip on the euro trains for james, he is sooooooo looking forward to it, only downfall will have to have a day of school, but i think this makes up for it LOL, hes train mad to say the least ...........

.............................................

only a quick post, as im off to my step sisters wedding today, taking james with me, so hopefully have a good time, pauls brother is coming up here to spend the day , so i know hes ok :o)

...............................................

love and hugs to all

updates

well paul now seems back on the mend, thank fully was only the infection , also the cancer changing in the liver can cause temperatures aparently. hes still got to have this heart check scan, but im sure that is fine :o) so looks like its not yet the start to the end, and hopefully will have longer with him :o) so scary it was, we have so much still planned to do together and as a family, things everyone has set their hearts on doing.............. we will do them and more :o)
..........................
went to see a friend yesterday after cycling to the park with James , ended up having lunch there and lots of chitta chatter LOL, got hugs from little emma and amy ive missed them over the summer holidays, they all had a super time, think theyd missed james and he them too LOL
..........................
my chicks are growing fast, dont look much like chicks now, still cant sex them yet though, mildred is back to laying me eggs, at night when i put them all to bed, i often find betty snuggled up with them LOL, mildred is back on the roosting bar. must take some more pics.
.........................
most of the garden is now harvested, still have a few leeks, carrots, tomatoes ripening off. had the last of the lettuce yesterday, only runners left are for seeds, french beans coming up today. carrots i will harvest a few more, then maybe leave some in the ground, not sure paul will probably want me to get them all up so they dont grow any bigger LOL, potatoes we ended up with a huge sack full :o), still have spinache up there growing, trouble is no matter how much i pick, it grows back and i keep getting holes in the leaves............. chooks dont mind they love soinache and its great for the eggs :o)
........................
just one week left of school holidays now, i still need to get james some new pe shorts, plimsoles, trainers, jumpers and a new tie................... maybe ill get there this week LOL


think thats it for now, much love and hugs to all that visit me here :o)

paul

well pauls in hospital again, he had some real high temperatures over the weekend, started with a lot of pain friday morning, then come the evening 38.6 . he wouldnt go to the hospital friday night, but yesterday am we saw the chemo nurses and he had no choice as could have been a life threatening infection, fortunately its not, but they still dont know 100% where the infection is, they think its in the liver and the cancer is causing it. they are going to do an echo on his heart today to double check no infection there or piece of clot from his arm, this is just a precautionle check as his plateletes are low and with the temperatures his heart beat is a bit irratic. hopefully i can bring him home later today.

i just feel so tired at the moment, having spent the whole of yesterday in the hospital gets a bit draining.
chemo on hold till 7/9 but not sure if hes going to continue this course or not yet, when he wasnt on any he felt heaps better, and quality is what counts now. he does have a ct scan booked for end of september, and think he will decide then.

sandwich Bay

wow we had a supertime tonight over sandwich bay, first time in the sea for mollee and she loved it, even tillee this year was right in the water :o)

its been such a hot day here today it was lovely to go down to the beach and have a paddle and splash around in the water, the girls cooled off, we cooled off and all of us had a lovely time :o)

paul and i have had loads of chats and have both said all the time he is well enough we will do our upmost to have good fun times, happy memories for the future, try and live life to the fullest we possibly can, try and stay as chilled out as we can, as least amount of stress as possible :o)
