more baby news
Just been talking with my MIL, She had been talking with her SIL (the new Grandma)
Baby is not in a humicrib, but they do have a heating pad under him to keep him warm.
No name as yet!

Welcome to page 597

Am off to the Hairdresser, to get my golden locks trimmed.

I am off to bed, to get my beauty sleep. Hope I sleep as well as last night, that was such a good night's sleep!

Rolanda, keeping a premmie warm as with a heating pad, helps them gain weight faster, did you know that? If they do not have to use much energy from food to keep up their body heat, they can use it to grow.

I did not know that, MizT.

I did not know that to help him gain weight.. keeping him warm because he is a wee one yes!

I AM GROWING TO HATE THAT CALF!!! He's 4 1/2 days old and still refuses to suckle. He's strong enough to turn this into a major wrestling match each time I feed him, but he refuses to drink. Tonight was the 7th time I've had to feed him through a stomach tube. This calf weighs about 80 pounds / 36.3 Kilograms, so it's hard to manhandle him.

I'm thinking of calling my Vet tomorrow to see if he has any suggestions for this problem. I can't keep tube feeding him much longer. He'll be too strong for me in another week, and I risk damaging his esophagus each time I tube him (because of his thrashing around trying to get away from me).

The most I've ever had to tube a calf in the past was 3 times. Once I'd built up the calf's strength, they've always started nursing before. "They" do say that if you're around animals long enough, you'll see it all.

Judy, my heart is with you.
Heidi, your health is more important.
Good Evening my friends.

Hi everyone, home from the country again - SO tired! Thanks to everyone who sent kind messages, they really do help. ♥

Dad's passing was peaceful and without pain. Mum keeps asking where he is ... Lots of travelling up and down (2 1/2 hrs each way) Everything feels strange at the moment. :(

Judy, keeping you and your family in my thoughts. It is going to be hard but you are strong and will survive.

Heidi, sounds like a good idea to call the vet. I hope the vet has a suggestion for you.

Vicki, Bob the Builder sounds cute. You can also get him a set of kids tools. Hope the party goes well.

Tricia, keeping you and Al in my thoughts.
Anyone else I forget to mention I apologize. Brain is not functioning yet. Need to wake up. Last day of school and I get a week off. I LOVE spring break.

Coffee is ready. Help yourself. I am going to bring a pot to the other page also.

Japan ♥

It is horrific in Japan. I have not checked where friends I have there live.

Saw the eagles change at about 11.30pm and 2am our time. (and I did get some sleep myself)

Prayers for all in harms way from the earthquake and tsunami What a disaster. I cannot get some of the news online to open, people must be overloading the websites hunting news.

Earthquake and tsunami in Japan, now??? Mother Earth has been creating one disaster after another!

yes, Heidi, that is 3 earthquakes in this week in the ring of fire, Japan being #3. buildings in flooded areas also burning, who says fire and water cannot coexist?

Even Australia and NZ is on alert for tsunami. It has already hit some of the Pacific islands, I read.

Greetings friends. think I will post both pages till we finish off the 600 on 9A, cause I just do not know where to post.

AL REPORT, nurse said he was doing OK this morning. vitals stable, but mucus has turned bloody once again. thinner and easier to cough up, that is good, means breathing treatments working. Roger is on his way to visit at 10 and 12, I will go up at 2. Doc has not made rounds, so he will stay in ICU until she makes rounds, possibly this evening. He is getting excellent care there, so I am not unhappy. Limited visitation is forcing me to stay home and get some rest.

Cold cold over night, near freezing, but today is sunny and warmer.

Must get a bit more done here, I have dekrow some on laundry and kitchen. but more clothes to shuffle around, hang out, fold yesterdays.

Hugs to all , till later.

Thanks for the update, MizT. We are all very concerned for both Al and you. I'm glad he's making progress.

My pratfall yesterday did a number on my back. It is screaming at me today. Very sharp pains. I honestly don't know how I'm going to feed that calf. Of course, IH is at the plant so he can't do it for me.

I'm so frustrated with that calf that I would let IH tube him and screw it up.

Heidi, did you call the vet? He have any ideas? Is Robert available to come help you? I do wish someone was, and so sorry to hear that the back suffered more than you thought. How much longer till your next epidural?

My next epidural is April 13th.

Haven't called the Vet yet. I will soon, after he gets back from lunch.

Good Morning my friends.
Just watching the eagles, Dad just came back.
Poss left for Sydney this morning, will be gone for a couple of weeks, they are sending his mum to a hospice.

Broni, keeping you in my thoughts.

Going to say goodnight. a car alarm went off at 3 am waking me from a good sleep. I hope it does not happen again.

TAMI, hope no more car alarms for you tonight, sleep well.

Hugs to Broni and Possum.

Heidi, over a month till epidural, do hope your back gets better before then.

I am off to bed now, let the DUGs hold the fort a bit. Hugs to all, with extras.

Getting impatient for everyone to head over to SA10 so thought I'd drop in and help out a bit.

Japan <3

Judy

Al

I checked out the eagle and saw it asleep (again), but at least the snow was gone.

Tami, enjoy spring break! Knowing you every minute will be filled with something.

Heidi, hope your back lasts until April!
