Me so Happy and Happy Halloween

Hi everyone and hope you all ok and Happy Halloween...

Wanted to say a big thank you for all your kind wishes regarding Olli, it means a lot and has given me a big lift, my heads been all over the place with worry. We worry about our kids then they have kids so we get more worry but I wouldn't change a thing..

Im so chuffed that Olli has responded so well to the treatment that they can go home weekend, his test are coming back ok and they are happy with him but he will have to go back every evening to have an injection until the end of next week...

They have found out that he has a very low immune system and will need to be on treatment for the rest of his life. What he has is hereditary and has come from his dad, its only carried by males and Olli's dad has started it of as no one else on his side has what Olli has. Had to laugh as Olli's dad is saying he's ill now. My mind is at rest now a bit more but poor Olli I think will be missing out on a lot. The doctors have said that he is going to be spending a lot of time at the doctors needing treatment and missing a lot of time of school  when he older as he will be picking every thing up that is going about and because his immune system doesn't work properly he will need a lot of help fighting things of. He is being referred to specialists who deal with that sort of thing for treatment and they will also help my daughter with what to do. They not sure now if it is because of being born with his immune not working properly that when he had his jabs for Hib it gave him it but its took a bit to long to come out or it was a dodgy injection. They been asking all questions on where Olli has been, who he has seen and if everyone he has been in contact with have had there injections when younger as HIB virus is very rare nowadays. Don't think we will ever find out but thank god Olli is ok and will be getting help. So grateful for what the doctors at the hospitals no and to the nurses for there care...

Daughter has sent me some photo's of Olli when he 1st went in and the best one is of him today. Feel so much better now I have seen him as iv had to stay away because of my cold. Hopefully I get to see them next week.

 

 

brings back a lot of memories

 

 

so young but they so strong

lost a bit of weight but he did have extra

 

had his 1st Birthday the 10th October

thank you all again and sorry for going on a bit, a bit you say lol. I will come and see you tomorrow to see what you been up to

 

Take Care

Alexandra in Grey

Hi everyone and hope you all ok..
Hoping that you wasn't affected by the high winds that we have had and the rain. A blogging friend went away in their caravan on Friday for a week and im just hoping that everything ok... I see this challenge over at Passion for Pro markers yesterday and its use Shades of Grey and thought I must make a card as that's just how I have been feeling since Saturday.

 Youngest Grandson Olli got took into hospital Saturday as he not been very well for a few weeks. They did lots of tests and couldn't find anything wrong but new he is ill so Monday they took some fluid from his spine and came back with something wrong so they grow the bug in the lad and have found out yesterday that his has Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) a form of Meningitis. He had all his jabs for that when he was a baby so they saying that he had immunisation failure. It may be that the injections he had could of bin a bad batch so my daughter has had all question asked, just hoping that his injection was just the only one and there not other babies bin injected with dodgy ones. They have been giving him fluids and antibiotics through a drip but yesterday his veins keep collapsing so they having a job to get a drip back into him. The last thing my daughter said last night is that they waiting for a new doctor to come round to have a go and get one in. I shall find out more later. I feel so helpless at the minute as I cant go and see them as im full of cold, cant even just see daughter in case I give it to her, said that id help out and look after Bailey (daughters other son) but cant but least there's lots of family helping out and now they no what's wrong with Olli he be better soon..
I no I shouldn't say it but roll on next year as 2013 has been one of those years with everything that has happened..Its been unlucky 13 

Now on to my card so now you no its just right...Have used digi image Alexandra from Crafts and Me store. The digi papers are called Spring Delights and Spring Surprise from Bearly-Mine Designs but I played about with the grey scale to have them print out a grey colour.
 

 

tonic punch, x cut circle, was cream card candi and used cool grey 3 to colour,

pro markers used cool grey 1 that decided to run out, cool grey 3 and 4 plus ice grey 5...they the only greys I have, think must get some more greys as they are handy
