Here we remain

[ailbhe]

We're in hospital and may not be leaving tomorrow either. Astrid's condition has not improved and may not improve until she has her tonsils out. We're seeing the specialist tomorrow, we hope, and we will be closer to a plan then.

Until we have a much better plan than at present, it is not safe for Astrid to fall asleep outside hospital.

I saw Linnea and Emer today and we all five at the hospital canteen. It was lovely.

Rob's mother is coming to help babysit L&E while Rob is in the hospital with me & A.

We have lots of friends and lots of help, which is great.

We need it.

Thinking of you all and hoping Astrid will soon be well again!

Oh gods, how awful for you all. I can only imagine. Many, many *hugs* and good thoughts.

GoodThoughts and HealingWishes for Astrid; *hugs* for you, and hope.

Cold applesauce, if not allergic to apples, is soothing.

I hope Astrid gets the treatment she needs quickly.

Oh, you poor sweethearts! (I put a lot more exclamation points there at first, but I didn't want to appear to be shouting at you.) *hughughughug*

I hope the specialist can help come up with a sensible plan, and at least they've stopped you yo-yoing in and out. I'm glad you have help.

I'm sorry that she's no better. You are in my thoughts.

[nex0s.livejournal.com]

This whole thing has been so scary.

Keeping you all in my thoughts.

I'm so sorry - I hope the hospital stay is able to get her quickly on the road to recovery!

[ai731.livejournal.com]

Sorry to hear that it's still bad. Hope it will be much better soon.

I'm glad you have plenty of help - use it! When DH was in hospital for months (C was 2.5) I was really touched at how genuinely friends did seem to be happy to help, and it saved us.

[nicnacpaddywac.livejournal.com]

I'm really sorry you're in hospital, but glad she's safe. I really hope the specialist has a good plan tomorrow.

Poor little bug. I'm wishing patience, strength, and some sleep for all of you.

[batswing.livejournal.com]

Oh my goodness, I've JUSTseen this. Thinking of you all. Hope they sort out the tonsils SOON!

[mrs-redboots.livejournal.com]

Poor little girl! I do hope she can be sorted out sharpish, as it must be awful for both you and the family, as well as for her.

[cabbagemedley.livejournal.com]

God. :( Thinking of you all. Hope they sort her out sharpish, and meanwhile am very glad you're in the right place to keep her safe.

[k425.livejournal.com]

While I'm sorry you're going through this, and I'm sorry especially that A can't sleep safely outside, I'm glad they've finally admitted her and will be able to do something to treat the cause rather than just the symptoms.

Hang in there.

[nwhyte]

Good luck, Ailbhe & co.

While being in hospital is unpleasant, it *has* to be less stressful than the in-and-out dance you've been doing? At least you know where you'll be for the next few days, rather than hours.

[kaberett.livejournal.com]

Luck and love to all of you.

[socmot.livejournal.com]

Have been reading all of your posts.
Am thinking of all of you and so is S.

[browngirl.livejournal.com]

*sends you strength and her healing*

[gloriap.livejournal.com]

I hope she recovers quickly once her tonsils are sorted.

[rosefox]

Wishing all five of you well.

[clarahippy.livejournal.com]

I hope it all goes well and that being in until Astrid is able to sleep better helps. My nephew had huge sleep/breathing problems for years (that noone would take seriously) and having his tonsils out was the best thing that ever happened, I hope if you go down that route it works as well.

[feanelwa.livejournal.com]

Poor little Astrid! I'm glad they are making a plan, and at least you're in the place where there's an oxygen monitor so you don't have to be watching her breathe all the time in the meantime. I don't really do praying anymore but whatever I do instead, I'm doing it for you.

[irishkate.livejournal.com]

hugs and good breathing to you all, but especially to the little mite.

[cyan-blue.livejournal.com]

Keeping you and the family in my thoughts!

[helenprev.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad you have lots of practical help. *Hug* Thinking of you all and I hope the hospital can sort Astrid out soon.

[etoile-violet.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking of you all. I'm so glad you have lots of support.

oh goodness. What they all said.
