Hi all,
You're probably all fed up with me getting totally stressed by now so don't read this if you can't bear me ranting on any more.
We're still waiting for a date - still all they'll tell me is that Genevieve is at the top of the list and they'll slot her in as soon as possible. i wouldn't mind so much if they gave us a date a little while in the future just so we had something to plan round. At the moment it's like our whole lives are on hold and I'm just going crazy. I actually had a panic attack in the supermarket on Saturday - something that's never happened to me before.
I have finally got Genevieve started on some Diazepam at night but the directions we got from our GP bear no resemblance to what our paediatrician said in February (yep - it's really taken that long). In the absence of any coherent instructions I've had to make it up as I go along and I really don't like doing that with something like Diazepam. The idea was to relieve spasm in her legs which get very stiff over night so I'm giving her 1mg at night and watching for any signs that it's amking her drowsy in the mornings. All being well - and in the absence of any instructions to the contrary - I'll put that up to 2mg after a week.
Genevieve's twin sister starts her AS levels next week and I've just discovered she's behind with some work that she needs to get handed in. She hasn't mentioned that she's having problems 'cos Mum's got enough to worry about. I don't know how many times we seem to have had the same conversation about that. Nothing I say seems to convince her that she's just as important as her sister and that her Dad and I are always willing to help.
It just feels like the last straw. I've been trying to pray about it all but at present I feel more like throwing crockery across the room at God than talking to Him!
Thanks for letting me rant on girls.
