jen here. single mother of one daughter (22months old) who i like to
call rylee.

rylee will be admitted into sick kids hospital in toronto, on. soon.
we have been going through alot these past days. that would be the
reason for my absence from the room. sorry.

rylee has had problems since birth. nothing too serious since she has
turned one though. before one, she was hospitalized for a while due to
the hole in her heart, and sleep apnea. now, things aren't as serious.
her heart doctor (dr mok dok li) says she is safe from SIDS now that she
is older, and the hole seems to be closing up on itself.

the reason for her hospitalization this time is due to her sleep apnea
and possible seizure activity. as i said before, it is not that
serious. her doctor's just want to do a sleep study on her to make sure
she isn't getting worst instead of better. it is very possible she will
out grow this as she gets older. i have faith.

Good luck to you both! How did it go?

Although this is somewhat off topic, I thought I'd take a shot at it
anyways..
I often get so confused here with who's who, so I'm hoping some people will
say something...

I'm wondering... Who are you?

I'm Kat, from Alberta, Canada, and in about 2 weeks, I will be 20.
I have 2 boys, Brandon, 2 and a half, and Zachary, 3 and a half.


Anyone else wanna step up to bat?

My name is Liz (Elizabeth), I am 24 years old, divorced, and have a daughter,
Annie, aged 3. I am a single working mother & part-time student. I receive a lot
of help from my parents. I am a "lurker" here and have never posted anything
before. I live in the SF Bay area.

Welcome!

I'm Celia, 44 and counting, two daughters, 15 & nearly 18. I'm
divorced, and my ex is an involved and loving parent. My eldest has

That's an excellent post, too bad I didn't read it about 1/2 hr ago. I
found out last week that my Grandfather has Cancer, turns out it's
Terminal. I JUST went to the hospital to visit him so when I came home I
broke the news to the boys. I'm not sure if anyone has heard of Barb Tarbox
down there, but she was a mother at my kids school and she recently died of
Lung Cancer, so the boys are familiar with Terminal Cancer, and I felt they
had a right to know... they seemed to be shocked at first, then asked if
they could play Nintendo. Go figure. I'll try and talk to them about it
before bed...

The day I heard about my sister's death by suicide at 32, my kids
cried, and then they went to the movies. They needed time to process.
And I was grateful for the time to process too, while they were at the
movies. Not that I got very far with it in an hour and a half. I was
mostly packing for the plane.

Kids react to news of death that way quite often.

Freddie and I were there last year on our holiday.
I didn't realise you lived there, should have checked your co-ordinates when
you posted them!

Gee, that's a great trip you must have had... I'm planning on taking
Emily to Ireland for high school graduation sometime next year. You're
in Ireland, right?

Not sure exactly what's on our itinerary, but sure plan on kissing
that blarney stone.

Are you doing a tour or freelancing it?

If you are down at Blarney Castle, I would high recommend you stay in
Kinsale for a night.

No tour... really just winging it. I have a lot of research to do
before we go. Thanks for the Kinsale note. Any particular place you'd
recommend?

I will be on a SUPER budget.

Thanks,
Karen
