A Lot To Say

I have a lot to say. If only I could remember what it was. That would be a good start.

My two cherubs tonight had the funniest conversation with me. They were both in their bedrooms and I was in mine. Baby A called out, but I could barely hear him and I didn't want to have to get up (First time I'd sat/lay down all day!) so I repeated to him what I thought he'd said.

"You're broken baby A?"

Baby A: "No Mama, my poster is broken."

Me: "Ok baby A, we'll fix that in the morning."

Baby B: "Mama, me too!!"

Me: "You're poster is broken too baby B?"

Baby B: "No mama, I'm broken."

Silence...

Me: "Ok honey, we'll fix you in the morning too."

And thus all worries taken care of, my two sweet boys fell happily asleep.

We had a really lovely day today. We went over to my Mum's house and the boys played with two of their cousins (Aunty 'lil ones beautiful kiddies). The four of them had so much fun together, and I was lucky enough to get lots of cuddles from both of my beautiful nephieces (my word for both nephews and nieces). I'm really proud of each of my sisters, and today I'm going to share what I really admire in my sister, 'lil one. Amongst many things is the fact she manages to study full time while taking wonderful care of my almost four year old niece and 15 month old nephew. Not just study though but put her all into her work, achieve incredible marks and submit high quality work. Because she really cares about her study, and what she is working towards.

There are many things I am proud of, which I won't go into so i can protect her privacy but it's suffice to say that it is an honour for me to be big sister to 'lil one. I see things in her I hope one day will rub off on me ;)

Health update:
I can return the event monitor as it has given me a terrible rash so I can no longer wear the electrodes and thus can't record any events. All I managed to get was episodes of my Sinus Tachycardia and some PVC's and PAC's. Nothing we didn't already know about. So now I need to make a follow-up appointment with my cardiologist and I may be able to go onto an antiarrythmic medication. This would be great as I then would be able to exercise (If it works and brings my heart rate down).
My ESR (Indicator of inflammation) is steadily rising. The doctor referred me when it hit 24 and had been there for close on a year. At my last appointment it was up to 54. Yesterday the result came in at 68. My CRP is now also up from 14 to 20. Normal for these tests is under 15-20 for ESR and under 10 for CRP. I see the general specialist on Tuesday so it's up to him to try and puzzle this out!

That's all I can think of right now. It's been a whole week of not blogging, so I'll be sure to try and make up for it this weekend :)
