I thought cheeky was a universal word. Its like she answers back, rolls

her eyes at you etc. I don't know what you'd call it then.

It's called an ATTITUDE!!! I have a kid with one right now!! Deb A

Okay, now I understand " cheeky " . Isn't it funny how kids everywhere

are pretty much the same. Eilish sounds like she will go far in

life. She sounds like she is humorous, smart, independent and self

confident. That means SO much. She must have GREAT parents.

Hi: Phyllis (my wife of almost 48 years) and I watched a very old

Hepburn movie last night, " Strong " (1933.I was two

at the time, and of course remember it well). The term " cheeky " was used

and brought to mind the discussion here. We lived in Britain and have

traveled extensively throughout the country since 1967, and the word is

often used in the context as explained by Deb. I do remember as a child

my aunt pinching my cheeks and saying " Cheeky little lad, isn't he! "

Ugh! Hal

Gale,

I don't know if its next week or the week after but I will complain to

you all LOL! I think its the organising of the 'other' part of the life

is the hardest part. Its Liam that I worry about. I know EIlish is

sick but she has never been left for a minute at the hsp. I don't trust

her not to run up the hallways catching everybody else germs. Last time

she loved it as she was the only CF child in and it was pretty empty.

So she roller blade all day long up and down the hallway. So we will

try to get onto the home IV's but they only let 6 families on at a time

and it is full at present. Luckily I have the best boss in the world,

although I think even he can't believe that were in again.

Re: Back into hsp.

,

I am sorry to hear that Eilish needs more IV meds. I am sure that

this is harder on you, than it is on her. I don't know how you

manage so well. Please keep us posted. I would like to send Eilish

a package. Could I send it to your home? If so, please send me your

address.

Thanks,

Gale

,

I know what you mean. I have a friend that had a son with cancer.

He was diagnosed at 2 and died when he was 5. He spent a lot of that

time in the hospital. The hospital was almost three hours from thier

home. Debbie always stayed at the hospital with Andy. Her husband

was worthless and sat in the bars most of the time. Andy's little

brother, ie, stayed with his grand parents. I remember ie

telling his mom that he wished that he had cancer too, so that he

could be with his mom. So sad!!! Liam has a great mom and a great

dad. This helps a great deal.
