Guest guest Posted December 14, 1999 Report Share Posted December 14, 1999 Hi! Lee Ann, > I am here! I have been lurking some here lately. I have not had > too much time to post. I have a child with ear infection, one > with sinus trouble and sore throat, and another with pink eye. > One gets better and the next one gets sick. I hope we all get > better before Christmas! I was just telling my daughter (34 on Dec. 27) how I recall spending several Christmas eves in the doctor's office with sick kids. Seems to be that time of year, unfortunately. Do the best you can, and leave the rest till later when they're better. They need mothering more than any holiday anyway. One year our eldest son was so sick with fever he didn't even care to look at his gifts. I don't know why I even bothered to dress him and take him out; he'd have been better off in his own bed with his family around him there. Live and learn. You'll be in my prayers, Patty Bacon in the beautiful Pineywoods of East Texas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 9, 2001 Report Share Posted November 9, 2001 Hello all I am here in thoughts with you all. I am trying to keep up on all the posts and i am thinking about each and every one of you. I have been finding things a little difficult lately. After moving house we have been bombarded with cold and flu and i have fallen back into the menopause with violent flushes. I have been feeling really low of late. I am waiting for my daughters blood results from the testing of fragile x syndrome. We should know by next week. I am just praying she is negative. Finally after 2 1/2 years of visiting the psycologist my daughter Ebony has been diagnosed as having ADD/ODD, which has been a relieve because al least we now know why she is so naughty. My house is barmy. Also i have been trying to search for my husband's birth father. He is spanish and because we live in England things are so hard. Any way that is the short of it. Take care and hope to chat to you all soon norma norma & iain parents to samuel 9yrs fragile x syndrome thomas 7yrs ebony 5yrs ADD/ODD oliver 2 & 3/4 yrs hirschsprungs disease with illeostomy kira 12months dairy & wheat allergy possible fragile x syndrome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 Hi Katrina please try not to worry i am sure all is going to be ok. you need this obviously and it is better to get it done with the hopes of it making you better than not doing it at all and being in excruciating pain all the time. it is good you are getting all of you P's and Q's in order and thank God for your mom coming and staying with you. That is going to be a HUGE help. Make sure that your little one knows what is going to happen to so that she can understand the best way he/she knows how. It is always better to be as honest as you can. they tend to be more helpful also if you share with them. Keep us posted and if you have a lap top put it in bed with you and let us keep you entertained ok. when you feel up to writing let us know how you are doing. What are they going to do exactely?? when is it? take it easy and dont push yourself afterwards let yourself heal properly. if you push yourself it could ruin everything ok? talk to you soon.

Have a good day and hope to hear form you soon. > Sincerely Janine In CaliI am okay. Sorry to go so long w/o saying anything. I have been a basket case awaiting my surgery. I am not sleeping well( even worse than normal) can't eat much , my stomach hurts. The time is not going quickly enough. I want it to go quickly so I have no time to worry. I am trying to keep busy so I don't have time to think about it. But I can only do so much at a time b4 I have to lay down for ahile. I am having a very hard time keeping things straight in my head. I have become so scattered brained. I hope I get some of that back after the pain has improved.My uncle was in a 4 wheeler accident so I have been spending some time at the hospital to see him also.Also trying to get most things that I can in order b4 the big day. Groceries and incidentals. So that it won't be so hard on my family when I am unable to do those things. I am fortunate that my Mom is coming to stay with me. That will be a huge help. She will be here for 1-2 weeks. :-DI am thinking about everyone also. Hope all is well with everyone. Look forward to hearing from you all on how you are doing.Katrina in Idaho Sell on Auctions - No fees. Bid on great items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Hi everyone, I just wanted to check in and tell everyone what I have been up to. I had signed up for the Star Seed course, and after reviewing the first chat session, realized that my awakening had happened eons ago, and I am very deep into what it is I am here to do on this planet at this time. And on that note.... I enrolled in a certification course on the Australian Bush Flower Essences. This is a 32 hour course, and after 2 days of intensive exploration into these wonderful energies, I am half way through the course!!! These essences are very powerful, and very much in line with the needs of this planet at the moment. So that is what has been going on with me, deep in study! Love. light and laughter! May you enjoy all immensely. Marie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Best of luck Marie! I work with the ABFE's; they are such a powerful gift from the plant kingdom. I encourage any healing humanity members who are interested in natural therapies / vibrational medicines to investigate these essences. Am I allowed to give a website link?

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 Good to hear from you Ed, I had been wondering how you were. My husband and I are in the US just now and passed through Portland on thursday, it was at night and looked very beautiful, and Oregon is such a beautiful place. I too had a stroke, mine was just over 2 years ago now, I have improved a great deal and apart from some memory problems and loss of some sight in one of my eyes everything seems to be ok.
