Three in a row!

Ever won a game of noughts and crosses and performed a mini victory dance? Well, we've won our own game of three in a row and have been performing victory dances since 6am.....G has slept for the last three nights! By sleep, I actually do mean sleep for once (not our distorted version which involves umpteen get ups). Just 1 tiny wake up in 3 nights. THIS IS BIG NEWS IN OUR HOUSEHOLD!

Disclaimer: I do not intend to agitate any sleep deprived parent with the above information. We are perfectly well acquainted with the rules of no-sleep club, and are the first to utter 'don't talk to us about sleep' at the mention of 'guess what happened last night....'

However after just under two years of no sleep, we felt that it was necessary to celebrate this small break through :) 

In other news

*'Daddy put glasses on'

Daddy  has had corrective laser eye surgery, and when he woke this morning he could see without glasses. It's a amazing! G however can't get her head around why daddy won't wear them. She's concluded that 'daddy's eyes working'. If only people who truly couldn't see could be helped by such a simple and effective procedure. 

*Endocrine apt

G has an endocrine appointment at the end of the month. Her height will continue to be monitored, and we'll also be broaching the subject of sleep and having her melatonin levels assessed. That aside, now we are under the care of the ENT department, I don't think there's much more we'll need to discuss! Screaming of course will be the order of the day, but at least it's our only appointment this month.  

*Helping others 

Since I stopped my reflux & intolerance support group, the requests have slowly been trickling in from surestart centres around the county for me to lend some advice and support to other families. I knew there was a call for such a support group, I just hadn't found the right people! If our experiences can offer just a glimmer of hope to other families, then I'll be a happy lady. 

I've also been able to share this blog with a couple of families who have recently joined the Turner Syndrome Facebook group and are pregnant with a beautiful girl with TS. Sending you all lots of love & prayers xx 

*Quiz night 

Our charity quiz night is fast approaching, I'm feeling a combination of nerves and excitement! An event has been posted on FB, would love to see lots of people there helping us to raise money for the fabulous Turner Syndrome  Support Society.

Once again, that's us up to date. The next time I post, G will be two years old! I actually cannot believe it.....
