Fuming...

 I had lots I wanted to get done today; Andy has gone to work and suggested I had a long sleep before I got started! But the phone rang at 8.45 - school talling me that I needed to pick Mikey up as he has a cough! I agreed that he does but also pointed out that he caught the cold at school last week as many of his class also have it as  well. I then got called back to be told the Head has said he must go home, I said I would go and get him by car as I've been rather wobbly for the last few days, to be told I'm not allowed on site until 9.25! So I collected him as instructed and he then told me that he had been kept outside for most of the time since the school called me. Luckily we had already left as I was furious, the poor boy has a streaming cold so they left him outside...I'm still working on the logic used there to be honest.

Since getting home he has hardly coughed, but he is only too aware that if he coughs at school they will send him home again...But he has also commented that he would rather be at school as he is missing out on whatever his class is up to today! I was looking forward to some me time today as Andy has actually gone to work!! But instead I have Mikey talking at me constantly! I have managed to make Andy's Birthday cake at least...Just need to fill and ice it for tomorrow....

Right now Mikey is squealing upstairs and sounds fine! He has coughed twice since I got him home, if I can program him not to cough tomorrow he can go back! I love my son, but Andy and I had made plans for his birthday tomorrow...He has now gone outside and started coughing again 😞

I had a chat with my nephrologist on Friday, it did not exactly go the way I hoped. Basically I am stable at the moment, but there is nothing they can do to give me any more energy or to help me to sleep that will not impact my kidneys in a bad way. Basically the way I feel now is as good as it will be. Not reassuring in any way; especially after our trip to Leeds Castle on Saturday which pretty much wiped me out. Ive just seen his letter to my  GP, bless him as he has basically told them to prescribe tramadol for my back pain. Must get a copy printed for my records...

How Do I keep Going?

 This week I have totally reached the end of my very frayed tether. I am more exhausted than I have felt for months and I am also feeling isolated, un-needed and unwanted. |Mikey is settled at school, is doing well and making new friends and finding new interests. All I do it listen while he frantically searched for reasons for him feeling f=depressed. When he does come up with something you can guarantee that there is nothing I can do to cure or solve whatever he is worrying about. He also has new people he can talk to so I am certainly no longer needed. I've also had my latest lot of blood tests done. I can't remember my access thing for my results so I can't look at them. My memory is failing even more than usual and I hate this. I'm also in constant pain and I can't do anything that is part of my usual way of living. I really just want all this to end. I have no energy, I can't sleep and even cooking something simple leaves me feeling dead on my feet. All I

Worried

 We are now the day before Mikey starts at The North School....all they have done today is worry me even more that this is the wrong place for my son. I know all parents are protective - but he took so long to have and I really do not trust them to look after him properly. We have been provided a timetable which states that his first lesson is PE - Yr 7 parents have been told not to send PE Kit in tomorrow.... Also, he is in group 7x3....but the timetable has him in 7x2. If they can't send the right timetable how can I trust them to look after the most valuable thing I have? The chair of Governors has also sent a letter about the school joining the Swale Academies Trust. From what I have heard about this on local news I do not want my child at a school under their control. How can I get him out of there? Since I started writing this |I have e-mailed the Head asking why everything is so disorganised the day before they start and have said it will not help kids with autism as everyth

Lockdown, Day 90

Definitely thinking backwards today!! 10 years ago Andy had to take me to Hospital for monitoring as I couldn't feel the baby moving and a friend in Scotland (who was also pregnant) told me to get checked! I spent all of the Friday afternoon on a monitor and having blood samples taken. The original plan was for me to go in on Sunday for my induction so I was sent home as they were happy my bump was doing OK and there was nothing to worry about! That was my first experience that I remember of how tired hospital tests make me so I was not in a cooking mood! Dinner ended up being KFC and a tub of Ben & Jerries as I had decided that the bump couldn't put that much weight on in 2 days!  Just as I curled up with my tub the hospital called me and told me to go back the following morning as my blood tests had shown a problem. She did tell me what it was but I honestly can't recall what she said! The plan at that point was to do my induction as soon I arrived, so as I thought I
