Just had to do a quick run to the shop where the boys are working as Shane had started twitching so severely he couldn't stand even stand up without support.
So the merry go round begins again.
All the specialists could put it down to was something like Tourettes, but this is ridiculous and I have to find some answers for him. First stop back to our GP and then a referral to a neurologist for a second or third opinion.
There is definitely something wrong, this time Shane complained of a stabbing pain in his back and then the spasms began. He is exhausted and in pain, poor kid.

A Good Report
YAY!! John got a good report from his renal specialist yesterday. It hit home just how far he has come since his battle with cryptococcal meningo-encephalitis in December when his specialist said they didn't know then if he would survive with his brain intact. John still has some word difficulties, searching for words when he speaks, but that is nothing compared to what could have been.
The kidney took a battering and dropped a little in function, but is holding steady, so no cause for concern. Back we go again in August, fingers crossed for smooth sailing till then, and for a long time to come.

What a week, what a night!
What a lovely night we had to top off a less than lovely week LOL.
Bradley's 21st birthday party went well, he isn't officially 21 until the 4th of June, but we celebrated and had a great night. A highlight was of course the much awaited chocolate fountain.
As usual I was worried about having enough food for the masses, but ended up with leftovers. Easy day today as I don't need to cook dinner or make dessert tonight.
The weather was beautiful and when it got a little chilly we lit the patio heater and it really worked.
Great way to end the week after being told the Kia we just spent another $1200 repairing has now cracked the engine and is not worth repairing. Oh and although the bank will lend us money for a car, we can't actually afford the repayments so it looks like we are stuck for at least the next 6 months or so. AARGH!!!
I'll have to share photos later as Blogger is not cooperating.

What a Week
A hectic week for sure, and some things I could do without.
Bradley and I went and had an interview with the counsellor at the TAFE, which was very productive. We will go again on June 10th to finalise his enrolment and all going to plan he should be enrolled in Certificate IV in Multimedia. Just 2 afternoons per week to start with and school starts on July 22nd.
The in law side extended family continues to meltdown and what a soap opera it has become. As much as I want to ignore it and hope it goes away, that isn't happening. Daily, lengthy phone calls are the norm.
To cap the week off my brand new stove had a hissy fit and shutdown all things electrical on Thursday afternoon, while I had a cake in the oven of course. We bought it late January and only had it installed in March, so I am not happy. It is under warranty for 2 years, so repair or replacement shouldn't be an issue. The serviceman is coming out Monday.
I have not stitched at all and am suffering withdrawal. I did however start knitting a jumper for myself.
Too tired to cross stitch as I have only been getting 4 hours sleep each night - not fun.
