Kids... Damned if you do, damned if you dont. The last 48 hours have been somewhat of a rocky ride. Well, not just the last 48 hours... the last 2 years. I would have to say that one of the happiest days in my life was when i found out i was going to be a father. I could not believe how lucky i was. It was a true blessing after the week my partner and i had just had. Within 4 days, Nic's grandad died and then 4 days later my Nan passed away. then, on my birthday, Nic told me the good news. After a whole day of fighting coz i made too many phone calls... she told me i was going to be a dad.
Lets jump forward nine months to when Addison-dior was born. things went well with the birth and we thought we had a very big and healthy baby girl. about 10 days later... she spent 9 days in hospital again. The doctors had no idea what was wrong with her. they tried just about everything. 18 months on and i must say, i have the most beautiful, energetic and smart daughter who currently i am teaching to say "I Love You" just so i can hear her say the 3 most important words in the world. Her vocabulary is growing everyday. She just talks and talks now. But this brings me onto Phoenix. My poor little man smiled at me yesterday for the first time and it wasn't wind. Ask Nic...lol In the last 3 days we have had to do 2 wee samples and give blood twice and there not taking little amounts of blood... there taking ALOT. The doctors don't know whats wrong with him. All i know is that we have to wait 2 weeks for these test results and if they come back clear then they have to do a biopsy on his liver. Good news today though. He is still really badly jaundiced and when tested on tuesday his levels were 120 (Meant to be 20) and today they had dropped to 100. So thats a start. Hopefully he is getting better. He has a hernia in his belly button as well. He hates nights. He is sleeping now but when he wakes up for his next feed i know he will be restless for quite some time unless he is held. Jett is handling things well. Man how much has he grown...lol I was talking to him about what he liked and how he was when i first met him and he remembers it all. I have soo many good memories of our time together and i could not imagine life without him in it. I think i got the best 2 for 1 deal EVER!!! Now its a 5 piece and its awesome.
All i have to remember, to get me through my day... Think of my 3 beautiful kids smiling.
Love you all.

I'm so worried about little Phoe-phoe :( I just told Tim all about it and I started to cry. He is going to be ok, I KNOW he will, but it's a hard and rocky road.
ReplyDeleteOne of my friend's babies was diagnosed with stomach cancer when he was 4 months old. He's one next Sunday and he is doing really well, despite now being diagnosed with baby asthma and he needs an operation on his eye to fix a blocked tear duct.
You two are incredibly strong, and you have the support of so many people. Your little family is going to be fine, and soon Jett will be beating up boys who are trying to date Addison-Dior ((or maybe it will be Addi beating up girls trying to date Jett?)) and Phoenix is going to be rocking out in the garage with Vincent and their band :)
Thanks Max... We know we have good friends in you and Tim. It is hard but you know what... for my kids to handle it, we must handle it. Its shit the things people get dealt in life but theres nothing we can do. Sick, loud, angry, tired or loving... No matter what, they are my kids and i will always love them and always do anything for them. All 3 of them.
