Good news and bad

First the good news - my younger daughter and her husband got accepted for IVF after trying for a baby for a couple of years. However, they didn't even make it to their first appointment - she found she was pregnant! Early days yet, the baby is due at Christmas, so fingers and everything else tightly crossed.

The bad news - my beloved 3 year old grandson is having major abdominal surgery on Monday. I just can't bear to think of his perfect little body being cut open. I'm sure he will be absolutely fine but I know I won't be able to relax until it is all over.

What mixed emotions for you. Belleringer. Wonderful news about the baby - what could be happier?

All good wishes to the little boy - let us know how he is.x

I feel for you about your little grandson - one of mine had a major op when he was 5 and I felt sick with worry. However he recovered very quickly and it has transformed his life so it was worth it.

Big hugs for you all & hope everything works out well

Hope all goes well with the recovery
The N.H.S. can do marvels. But please take care of yourself. It is a whirlwind of emotion to get such good news about an imminent baby and then the terrible worry of the op. Just been through this myself with new grandchild and son's op. All within two weeks. Make sure you get some rest.

Thank you everyone for your good wishes for the forthcoming baby, and concern for my grandson. He has been a bit miserable today - hardly surprising with a huge incision and still connected up to a drip and other bits of equipment - but he did manage to sit up and eat some ice cream so I think he is on the mend. We are just so grateful that, worrying though it has been, this should be the end of his problems.
Morgana congratulations on your new grandchild and hope your son is doing well.
Our problems seem nothing compared to the events in Manchester, where we used to live, and hope no one here had friends or relatives caught up in that dreadful atrocity.

I've just caught up with this bullring. All sounds ro be going well - please keep us posted.

Our eldest dd was about to start being investigated and discovered she was pregnant too. And a friend of DD3 was having a scan on her polycystic ovaries when they discovered she was pregnant.
