Baby home now and parents, grandparents et al are relieved to say the least. Still no idea what it was tho gastroenteritis and possible choking on vomit (sorry) seem to be potentials. More tests in coming weeks just in case! :)

Thanks Jen... it *is* one of those times I wish I was 12,000 miles away!! Still, the little one made it thru the night. His blood pressure has dropped but the docs still have no idea what was/is wrong. Fingers are crossed it was just a one-off incident. :)
 

jen

January 23, 2012, 09:07:22 PM
Hope things go well in the UK for you Chris... must be awful being all the way over here at a time like that.

My youngest grandchild (my son't first child and only a few months old) has been in hospital overnight in the UK. Seems he had some sort of spasm, threw up everywhere and his lips went blue for a while. His blood pressure shot up and so the doctors are keeping him in overnight for observation. We're obviously all a bit worried.

One more week and the kids are back in school. No doubt I'll miss them... but it just *might* mean less work for me to do. I'm still chasing my tail here! :P

Perhaps the settings in your account differ from the server? I can;t check right now as am supposed to be clearing the garden and mowing... but if I can get back later I'll check! :)

Hmmm... am I the only one that shows the time in here, one hour earlier than it should be? I posted at 9.13, but it's 10.13 in 'real life'!  ;D  Are we still in Kansas Toto?

Why is it when I tell people about the site I mess up the url?? I've done it over and over again!! Must be some sort of death wish perhaps?? :D

Latest one was my invitation to the Facebook folk on SOS. Gawd.

Chris

Don't ask me what's been going on because I have *no* idea. For two days *I* couldn't get in to check what's wrong. The site simply disappeared.

If nothing else I can at least check the logs etc to see what's been going on. :(

The monsoon/cyclone season arrives in the north again, like it does every year.
Heavy rain, strong winds, for months on end.
The 'wild west' it surely is, where only the tough survive the 'hard drinking-hard-living'.

There are no subjects or topics 'banned' here and I don't know where you get the idea there would be. We have in the past asked that people post within the law and don't make overtly racist posts or posts inciting violence etc. Otherwise... anyone can post almost anything as they always *have
