to stress or not!!!

this weekend has been full on with the girls fighting and screaming but to top it off Miss Robyn has been in pain with when she goes to the toilet this is setting alarm bells off as well UTI and kidneys are all interconnected, I will be taking her to the Dr and stressing that My older child had a wilms Tumor and that this can present in this way ARGH, I have been told by 2 different Dr's that yes it can run in families and No it does not I have tried to look it up online but no luck so I am hoping I am just a worry wart and that Robyn has a little dehydration with the QLD heat and not drinking enough water to flush her system


on top  of that Alexandria has been getting more headaches and they have her screaming at us about them, I have been told that unless she is vomiting from pain to just watch them but as she has a high pain thresh-hold I know she is suffering due to night time when she is sleeping the pain wakes her crying

on a good note Alex's headaches are possible due to the lovely Queensland heat  and humidity and that Robyn's issues are also due to these as she has no lumps in her abdomen but something we will need to keep an eye on.

this week is looking good with Alex getting  her immunizations (re boosters) on Friday ( robyn now due for her 4 year old ones too)   and may look at the art museum on the weekend just waiting to see where Hubby will be sent with the cyclone help either here or sent away as his work are the evac party  helping at both ends


yes QLD has been hit again with another natural distaster and this time a cyclone hitting Townsivlle and higher  catogory 5 :O I just hope everyone see's this storm through

yes its above us but still people can get hurt and it will effect an already hard hit Queensland state, I just wish I could do more
 Hubby has now put up his hand as what else can we do but help fellow australians out and that is what the defence are suppose to do ♥

First day of school 2011

Monday Alex returned to school she is now in Grade 1 and has a new teacher, she loves school so that is a good thing and with her books and lunch went to school a happy young lady.

Alex has a new uniform this year to as preps at the school only wear the sports side so I have had to organize her formal uniform as well and here is my big school girl dressed and ready that morning and before school assembly  ♥

First Day at School 

we had a  few issues this last week as Alex got a rash on her tummy and it was similar to Chicken pox My heart sank as we have been exposed twice and missed it but now school is returning plus a camp booked in for next month would have to be cancelled again, so Saturday morning I take her to the Dr. who put my mind at ease yes it does look similar to chicken pox but it is actually mite bites due to all the flood water we have had a big sigh of relief from me as I do not have to cancel another Childhood Cancer event this early in the new year and we now have the camp to look forward to in February.

second day at school the two fire trucks were next door to the school, girls got excited seeing them there

today is Australia day and a public holiday so the girls are home, it is another hot summer day in QLD, girls are playing Wii and have been outside with the chicks etc, then Alex had an accident, both Robyn and herself wanted the baby chicks out of the cage and by doing so Alex got hurt by the gate so have put iodine on it and will be watching for infection as not sure when she had her last tetanus shot but this is what we have been told to do as its a scratch 

here is a photo :(

it looks better now no redness around it but well kids will be kids and she is so full of energy for longer periods so uses it, today she crashed for 2 hours in my bad though and as she was grizzly I laid down with her like she asked ♥♥

Happy 4th Birthday Robyn ♥

Robyn turned 4 today and Alex starts grade 1.  tomorrow
looking back on the year we had Robyn is special it is before cancer and Alex was a loving big sister to Robyn, My Miss Roe as Alex (2.5) called her little sister ♥♥

8lb 6 oz Robyn decided it was time after all we had been through 3 ECV ( where they turn bubs into the right position with no luck I can not carry a child head down only transverse now have been told due to hip bones not giving enough room for bubs to descend)  she was still a surprise for Me and daddy as we decided not to find out what we were having. I needed something to look forward to as it was another C-Sec.

was great watching both our girls grow up together the last 4 years and Alex really looked out for her sister even when cancer was here she still asked for stickers and things for her little sister ♥ now Robyn does the same asking for Allie ♥ hope this bond keeps growing between them as the future is an open door for us all, and yes they do fight but are always hugging each other my blue eyed princess's

breaky was at Mac Donald's by request of the birthday Girl, mainly for the playground hehe

 Unwrapping her pressies ♥

I have signed up as a team leader for this so far its me and a friend but Hubby will also do it our Name is Alex's Wilms Warriors :)
this is our link to sponsor us
~* Sponsor us please :)

and if you are Brave Join Alex's team and help fight against blood cancer
~* Join Us Be Brave Colour or Shave :D

I am doing this as one of the Chemo's Alex had also can cause leukaemia as a secondary it may not be for Childhood cancer but it does help fight for a cure which is my main goal

even a small amount will add up to help this great cause

Robyn returns to Preschool tomorrow so that is good but we have to still pay for last week even though they are closed and no power the Child care centre is trying to get it credited back to all the families as we were all effected by this disaster, Alex is ready for school on Monday and we have a family get together on Sunday for Robyn's big day turning 4 she will love it but still waiting on mail to receive gifts from interstate that could have been lost in the floods :( but who cares its about us being a family and we will still make it a great day with what we have and we are one of the lucky ones that still has everything except for what we have donated to others that need it

we have been contacted by the RCH to make sure we are ok and also Camp Quality and yes we got in for the camp :) so 4 weeks til our first camp if the rain holds off as its up on the sunshine coast which was also effected by floods,  4 weeks til Alex gets her next lot of immunizations and then we wait til March for the next CT scan and Dr Visit :) slowly getting further apart by the end of the year we will either be on 3 monthly of 6 monthly visits and every small step is a stepping stone forward.


always hug your loved ones every day as we never know what the future holds for us and just look at Queensland and Victoria in Australia, major floods and the toll is still rising, My heart goes out to all those that still do not know how family are that are missing but pray they are OK and just cut off from everyone ♥
