Cripes!

I'm here!! I'm so sorry, I hadn't checked in for so long, I didn't realise I was being missed and that you'd left messages. Thank you so much for your care. It's all my fault - I should have just declared a break from blogging, instead of disappearing.

I've been busy, yes, focused on other things really. Also, Charles has had hypertrophic (huge, huge, HUGE) tonsils and adenoids since the first week of April. You wouldn't know it to look at him! But at night it's causing obstructive sleep apnoea, which is uncomfortable for him, and frightens me to death. Recently he was only taking four breaths per minute at one point. I've tried eliminating different foods etc. Not working. So we're taking the homeopathic route, whilst waiting for an appointment with the ENT consultant. Really don't want those tonsils removed, if we can find another way.

The other thing is, not much knitting going on. I've been knitting the same pair of socks on and off for two months! So, nothing to report (and that's the main reason for not blogging).

But I hope you are all well, and I trust the knitting frenzy is continued without me!! And thank you again for asking after us.

  4. glad to hear you are well, but sorry to hear the little one is not. tonsils are useless and only cause trouble. if they have to go- its ok!
    it is so scary when kids are clogged and have trouble breathing. when my son is sick i check on him through the night- so nobody really gets any sleep, you must be tired yourself.
    take care!

  5. Oh, don't worry about the blogging. Especially about reporting knitting related stuff. Family is of course more important than anything else. But I hope you can get some time over to enjoy some knitting (not the least to ease your nerves ... I would definitely need that in such a situation) and I wish lots and lots and lots of good health for the little one!

  7. Blogging is meant to be for fun, isn't it? So doit when it happens!

    (At least, that's what i tell myself when I feel bad for leaving it so long).

    My tonsils went (adenoids too) aged 9, and my ear infections stopped completely. of course, any surgery is an undertaking, but then so is living with huge tonsils. see what the ENT say - they're not that keen on 'ectomies these days either, so if they really reckon it's the bext option (and the homeopathy hasn't done the trick) it is probably worth considering. You all need your sleep and he needs his breath.

    I hope that Charles get better soon. It must be so scary having to watch him feel so poorly.

  10. Good to hear from you, but sorry to hear about the tonsils. I hope the homeopathy does the trick - I've always found it very effective for me, the children, even the dog.

  16. Good to hear from you! My sympathies to Charles; I still have my tonsils, but my brother's went very, very early. I don't think he misses them!

    I hope life has presented you with some pleasures as well as problems; if not, you're clearly due some.

  18. Checking in to say Hi! - hope the tonsils are tatihilarious and that you are at least coping, and at best thriving.

    Remember tomorrow - there is always tomorrow.

  19. Cherry! How very, very odd! I just checked in here after months of not looking at all, and there was your message - left today. Don't you just love that?

    I sent you an e-mail after the message you left in June. I assumed you didn't get it (I only had the e-mail address from ages ago, as there isn't one mentioned on your blog).

    We're all okay - waiting for an appointment with another ENT consultant, but things are ticking along. Tonsils the same, but the sleep apnoea has gone for now.

    Thanks for asking.....I hope you are well too.

  20. I'm sorry to hear your prince is not at his best these days. Your route is the best, but if his tonsils are sick they will more often make him sick too. I hope it clears up sooner than later.

    Thanks for your comments. I'm happy you like my dress design. Did you notice there are pockets?!
