Jacksgranda Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 The youngest grandson started his new school on Monday. I said to my wife this morning "Has his speech improved?". "Yes, and so has his behaviour." I can't say I'd noticed his behaviour had improved, but I'd thought his speech was better. That's good going over only 5 days. Those special schools do tremendous work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rugster Posted September 8, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2018 Well. That was a bit of a day. After HSF's waters breaking two weeks ago she felt cramping this morning about 11am. Called hospital told to go in at 3pm. Baby boy born at 4.34pm weighing 2lbs 15ozs. From being wheeled into labour ward to him being born was about 20 minutes. Breathing on his own which is a good sign. He's in SCBU just now for up to 10 weeks so we're at the start of a long fight to get him fit enough to come home. Been an emotional last 14 weeks as it was with HSF pretty much couch bound in pain but now we've hopefully turned a corner on that front and we can concentrate on the wee man and his daily fight to get to full health. Hospital have been amazing. Thank f**k for the NHS. HSF been an absolute trooper and couldn't be more proud of her. Home now for some sleep and back in tomorrow to see her and the wee man. 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, wee bit of a fight ahead bit like you say, the NHS are fantastic in these situations and prem babies is nowhere near the issue it used to be, so hopefully HSF and wee Ray pick up soon so you can get back to the enjoyment of it all. You wont even remember this particular battle once he is pulling his sisters hair when your not looking or using your phone as a drumstick.
