Confused and Overwhelmed-Diagnosed Anal Sac Carcinoma (Woody has passed)

OMG I am not even going to take a look. I am terrified of bugs and that weta put me over the edge. I don't need to see anything else :eek:

I don't think these are bigger than the weta, but there are heaps of them hanging off power lines, apparently got blown out of a tree. They look like tarantulas or something equally nasty... don't look Tina, would hate to put you off your sleep!

Yeah don't look I, ll have nightmares tonight :eek:

Ugh that gave me the hebeejeebees! I kept moving my fingers away from the video. Lololol.
Oh nice they are going to induce your niece. This will be good for the family hopefully. Take their minds off other things.

Let us know the news!!

Hugs

Baby boy has finally arrived this morning at 0851 hrs (tue) weighing a wooping 8lb 13 oz he is gorgeous. Rachel did really well but lost a lot if blood so needed 2 transfusions and put into ICU to monitor her BP as it was all over the place thankfully she is a all right. It was pretty frightening for a while and my sister was a mess. She has been transferred back to the ward now and I'm finally home it's now 5 pm, I'm exhausted.

Welcome to the world little Mason :D

Tracy:
Congratulations, I am glad both mom and baby are doing well. I am sure you willbe thinking up all kinds of fun adventures for you and Mason. Blessings
Patti

Congratulations to all!

I'm glad your niece is alright and the baby healthy!

As for the link....I never got past the opening photo and the words "raining spiders". :o

Yay!!! Congratulations to your family and welcome to the world Mason.

So glad to hear that Rachel is okay. That must have been horrible. I can just imagine the stress your sister was going through and you too. I know you are very close to your niece.

Awesome, now get some sleep!! :)

Awwww a wee Mason, poor Rachel sounds like a rough ride. Hopefully now she has that bonny wee baby in her arms it will all fade into oblivion!! Hope your tucked up in bed getting some rest and not having to go to work... which is where I should be very soon!!! See what happens when I log on in the morning, I end up straining my brain doing Leslies math problem!! :D:D Hopefully catch up soon! congrats to you all xx

Thanks everyone I can't sleep :mad: guess I'm over tired not been in bed for 39 hrs oops I just powered napped at the hospital. I called the hospital earlier and she is doing all right, BP still going up and down as is her pulse so she is being closely monitored. Mason is doing great he was a forcep birth so has little marks on his face which should fade with time. I managed to hold it all together during the panic earlier and keep my sister and Ian Rachel's partner calm but I crumbled when I came home as she was rushed straight to theatre so fast. I helped my sister bring Rachel and her brother up as she was a single parent so I am very close to them, they have decided to give Mason a middle name of Brady my fathers middle name in his memory. I'm so proud of her :D

Sorry just a touch emotional tonight

Awww Tracy! Big Hugs! Sometimes you just need a hug. It has been a very stressful couple of days, waiting on the babe to come and then the worry for Rachel. Have any melatonin in the house? Maybe a bit of herbal help to calm the nerves after this kind of day.

I'm having a milky hot chocolate see if it helps. I,ll put my stress cd on see if it helps.

Thanks for the hugs I guess it has been stressful but I just go into right make sure everyone is all right mode and forget about myself

Yep, you are a caregiver personality, most animal people seem to be.

So, must remember to take care of you too!

Hi Tracy

Wow what a stressful couple of days you have all had there. Hope Rachel is feeling better today and that Mason is doing just fine so you can all just relax and get to enjoy cuddling that wee man! Did you get some sleep?? Gawd I bet the adrenaline was pumping with getting rushed to theatre. Calmer days is what you all need now :) xx

Hi everyone managed a few hours sleep last night. Rachel and Mason got home about an hour ago so all good :D

It has been heavy rain all day today and we had a fire alarm at work so had to stand in the rain for 40 mins while fire brigade checked it out :eek: I'm tired today so dinner hot bath and bed early for me :)

Dinner, hot bath and bed sound like just the thing for a rainy day after the past couple days you've had.

Congratulations! So happy to hear that Rachel and Mason are doing well and able to come home.! Good news indeed.

Oh Tracy, welcome to the world little Mason! That must have been so scary, so glad to read that Rachel and the baby are both doing well. Hope you have had a little catch up with your sleep. Congratulations!

Hugs,
Tina and Jasper

Hi Tracy, hope all going well for Rachel and Mason!! Are you out having your Friday night catchup with your mates... I think at the end of this week you deserve some celebratory drinks!!

I read this on our news this morning about Scottish whisky upset with NZ whisky and wondered if it is your company. I bet there are heaps of different companies though

Hey guys

Only managed a couple of hours out tonight as I'm shattered, I doubt the week has caught up with me lol. Mother and baby doing well, Mason is a very contented little baby for the moment. Rachel and Ian and baby Mason are staying the weekend with my sister as Rachel is still very weak and ever so pale and my sister wants to look after her for a few days get her strength back up :D

Trish that's not my company they only make whiskey we make whiskey, vodka and lots more

Awww you poor thing, thank god its the weekend and hopefully you get a bit of a sleepin! Nice she can stay with her Mum for a few days, be good for her to have that practical help with a newborn especially as she is still recovering herself.

Yeah I think they were secretly relieved when Mandy went to get them last night and said that they were to stay the weekend at the end of the day Rachel is still her baby. I was down for a few hrs last night and she really has taken to motherhood rather well. The biggest surprise is her brother Alastair he is running her baths and making sure she has everything she needs they spent so many years fighting lol. Little mason follows ally,s voice everywhere :D

Cute, family all coming together!! What your plans for the weekend. Mum is flying home today, I am heading around to their house in couple of hours to fix up all the beds as Dad moved into her room while she was away and I have been in his room. I usually change all their linen on the beds each week to save them that job. I have an engagement party I am meant to be going to this afternoon, will see if I make it.

I think i,ll have a quiet weekend, take mum shopping tomorrow pop in and see the baby and then just chill.

Ah mum is coming home, she will be glad of her own bed and good of you to change the beds for her, it is a job I hate doing :)

LOVE quiet weekends!! Love going out too, so happy to do a bit of both :D:D

I wish we could all be together for a weekend.

How about another group hug?

That is so sweet Trish. ♡

That is sweet, group hug! We have a great group in this joint. :)

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. We'll be in and out so, will pop in. Hoping Leslie will be okay.

hugs
Sharlene and molly muffin

All for the group hugs, we can include Mel who has disappeared but in sure she,ll be back soon :)

We can all have a weekend together, not in persons but on here and in our heads, as we all are keeping our little family together here on the forum, we are family whether we like it or not :p

Hey!! Yes Mel is definitely in on the group hugs... time out is good but I hope she pops back in soon for a catchup!! Yep we have all the elements of a family here..... :D

A weekend would be fun though... I say we all meet at the Rainbow Bridge in the year 2050, most of us be gone by then :rolleyes: ... with all our babies present and us all turned back to our 20's, looking gorgeous and what a fine time we will have!! :D

What a lovely picture you painted there Trish and I think it is a plan :D can you image the fun and antics that we could get up too:eek:

Just thought it will be the only place to have all of us and the pups together!! Hopefully we get to meet up in real life before then though, but I have learnt it always pays to have a plan B up your sleeve! x

hahahah, plan a, plan b, plan c, backups are a good thing. :) :) :)

Hey, how were Mason and Rachel today? Hope she is feeling better!

Hi they were all good, he was asleep the whole time i was in lol. She is still very pale and has little strength but i,m sure with time she will get her strength back. She is going back to her own house tomorrow,so that she can get Mason into a routine before his daddy goes back to work :) I asked who has been getting up with him during the night and they all have lol so thats my sister, rachel, daddy ian and alastair, the whole point of staying at Mandys was so she could get a sleep :D They are having to wake Mason up for his feed as he would go 6 to 8 hours between but my sister has "nicely" persuaded her to wake him about 4/5 hours so that he has a sort of routine :eek:

How was your day.

Still early, picking up Mum at 11 to go into town for lunch and a bit of a look about the shops. Flynn is so good at the moment, so pleased to see!! Apart from that evil itch... will shower him soon! You in for the night?

Yeah was suppose to have a quiet day but my Friday night drinking mate was rushed into hospital this afternoon so I had to go visit and take her some things, she is ok. It's been really bad rain here the kind you can barely see with when driving.

That darn itch can't catch a break from it can he poor guy. Some lunch with mum and a mull round shops sounds like a perfect Sunday

Hey Girls

Must have sensed you were both in, I have been away twice for the bank hols and it's been review time at work so I have been v busy.

Didn't want you to think I had forgotten you all so I thought I should pop in.

Heart just about broke when I read about squirt and grace, poor Leslie.

So how you both been? You have all been on my mind, even if I haven't been posting.

I did just see patti came in over Easter, was good to see she is ok.

Boyce is good, loved his holidays, he isn't so keen on the sand these days as I think it makes his legs sore but there were plenty of other places, he got up at 06:30 each day little shite as he wanted to go exploring :D
