I'm sorry for the lack of bloggingness but for once I do have a good excuse!!

On Thursday night I was sat watching tv relaxing when I had excrutiating pains in my side under my ribs on right hand side which took my breath away. My immediate thought was that I had a collapsed lung and was rushed into hospital. Luckily it wasn't but not so lucky I have a gall bladder infection and possible stones!

I was admitted to a surgical ward put on a drip anti biotics and morphine Iv and told they couldn't opperate to remove the gall bladder straight away as the infection was so bad it could cause sepsis! great!!

Anyway i'm home now on oral antbiotics and strong painkillers (not quite like morphine though which completely knocked me out!!) and have to wait for infection to calm down and then go back to have my opperation to have my gall bladder out!

I'm just glad to be home now it was the most awful experience and i missed abi so much!

Hope this finds everyone well and I will keep you updated when I'm awake as when I eat it agrivates it and also not eating makes me very weak and just want to sleep!

A couple of hospital pics!!

Abi playing on daddies shoulders
Mummy and Abi having a cuddle the day I came home waiting for my drugs to come up very bored!!

Thurday lunchtime we went out to lunch with my good friend Tracey and her mum my "Aunty" Den. We went to Harvester it was lovely to see them and Abi enjoyed the attention!

She seems much better in herself just tires easily but I can understand that it has really taken it out of her! Anyway you'll see why this is a back dated post in my next post!

One little one venturing out!

A little kitten trying to find its mum

The view from my kitchen sink its so pretty with all the autumn colours :)

A quick update to say we couldn't get in a drs this morning was emergnacies only! Have updated a few photos for Becky of the kittens they have started to venture out of the box today and then cry their eyes out and get their mum to put them back in again.

Abi had Eleanor round to play for an hour today first time since before she was poorly after 40 mins she cried her eyes out asking to get into her bed! Bless it wore her out so much! As you can probably see she is still really pale.

Mum rang today from south africa - she did the most amazing thing today bottle fed a lion in a reserve! They are having an amazing time - abi was very confused once she'd spoken to mum as she thought she was back.

Got dinner on now ed due in any min so must dash.

One of the kittens once it'd had its flea treetment (was not impressed!)

Abi asleep in her big girl bed (we changed her cotbed from a cot to a bed as it was killing me getting her in and out all night while she has been unwell) - the bed guard we brought didnt fit so used the chair up against it to stop her falling out!

A nice one of Alice and Abi

Alice Rich (Alices boyfriend) and abi

A skinny abi doing some colouring in the kitchen

A quick update with some photos that explain the last few days. Abi now has energy for a few hours but is sleeping every 2 hours for 2 hours during the day and then a good 15 hours at night she is so exhausted and lost so much weight its horrible but positive that she is better than she was she finished her anti biotics yesterday and is going to see the dr again tomorrow to see what the plan is he wanted to see her 48 hours after she came off anti biotics so i'll let you know.

I took mum and steve to gatwick last night and stopped of at bluewater on the way back for a spot of shopping without abi it was really weird shopping without a pushchair - i brought abi a different side to her bed to stop her falling out and a certain person who reads this blog birthday present so wont tell you what that is!!

I'll update tomorrow once i've been back to dr

Ooohhh a new colour get me!!!

Sat here lonley tonight as Ed is out at a Harry Hill gig! I'm sat with my feet up watching x-factor I've not got any ironing to do as I did that all yesterday Abi was in bed by 5.30pm and Ed did all the washing up from the roast dinner!! So i'm preety lost - always wanted it and now I want something to do lol! I even ironed my bed linen (now thats desperate!)

Mum and steve are off on their hunnymoon tomorrow to south africa for 2 weeks i'm taking them to the airport at 3pm. Going to really miss her and I think Abi will too!!

Abi seemed slightly better again today ate some dry cherios for breakfast 3 small mouthfuls of sandwich for lunch and 3/4 of a small portion of roast dinner for dinner - the most in over 2 weeks!

Isis and the kittens are doing well - they have been wormed and treated against fleas now and are growing fast!

Abi meant to have her swimming lesson tomorrow but she won't be going so will actually have a Monday mornin to myself for a change :) before I have to drive to Gatwick and back of course.

Thank-you all so much for your kind messages. Poor little angel really has had a rough ride the last few weeks. I think the infection is finally shifting she keeps coughing and being sick mostly phelgm (only way she can really shift it I think as she cant cough it up) her temps are still coming and going but certainly much less.
We had an interesting 29 hours when the whole of our road had no power!!! With a poorly soldier that just wanted to watch barney on the sofa this proved rather tricky!!
I've just done 2 hours ironing so am all upto date now so thought i'd update you lovely lot!
It was so lovely today to see Abi actually eat something as she's gotten rather skinny the last few weeks even though there wasnt really anything for her to loose!
Hope this finds you all well. Off to do an online grocery shop now for all the fridge and freezer food we lost during the powercut!!

A quick blog just to let you all know Abi was really poorly this morning with temp of 40.3 and hard to wake again so took her straight to dr - she has a chest and an ear infection so is now on yet another course of antibiotics. I really hope she picks up soon. Thanks for all your kinds messages and emails they really cheer me up :)
