Friday Focus 13/04/18 – A worrying couple of weeks

13/04/201813/04/2018
"Worrying" - this week's word of the week

The last couple of weeks have been quite a worrying time for us with Jessica’s health. She’s been unwell on and off since going back to school. We were hoping that having a break over the Easter holidays would help her start to pick up again. Unfortunately, this hasn’t been the case. She’s had moments… Read More

Friday Focus 30/03/18 – Coughs and sneezes

30/03/201829/03/2018
The word cough with Jessica coughing in place of the "o"

Jessica has had quite a nasty cough this week which has knocked her out again. We’d agreed with school at the start of the week that she would go back on half-days this week as she’s been so exhausted recently. As it turned out, even that was too much for her. She managed to perform… Read More

Friday Focus 23/03/18 – Good news from the heart scan

23/03/201822/03/2018
The word heart with the "a" and "r" forming a heart shape

We had the fetal cardiac scan this week to check Peanut’s heart. As you can imagine, I was quite anxious about this appointment, especially as hubby was away and I had to go alone. Thankfully, it was good news. Peanut’s heart looks like it has formed normally and his/her heart function looks normal too. It… Read More

Friday Focus 16/03/18 – Proud mummy moments

16/03/201815/03/2018
The word "Proud" with a smiley face for the "u"

It’s been a tough term for Jessica so far, but her report at parents’ evening this week made me very proud. Despite having an attendance rate of around 20% this term, she has managed to keep up at school and settled back in after her surgery as though she had never been away. It’s a… Read More

Friday Focus 09/03/18 – A poorly little girl

09/03/201808/03/2018
The word 'poorly' with a cartoon Jessica lying on the 'oor'

We’ve had a poorly Jessica this week. She seemed fine when I dropped her off at school on Tuesday morning. At 9.30 though, I had a call asking me to come to school to check her over. She’d had a coughing fit at assembly and was breathless walking back to her classroom. I agreed to… Read More

Friday Focus 02/03/18 – Fun in the snow

Snow - this week's word of the week

We hardly ever get snow where we live so it makes a change to have had several days of it. While part of me is longing for some warmer weather and the start of spring, I have enjoyed seeing the girls having fun in the snow. It’s a bit too cold for Jessica to be… Read More

Friday Focus 23/02/18 – Not quite what I was expecting

23/02/201823/02/2018
Unexpected - this week's word of the week

It’s been one of those weeks where things haven’t quite gone as expected. We had a bit of unexpected drama when out shopping at the weekend when two guys on motorbikes suddenly came speeding through the pedestrian zone followed by armed police. Sophie had been chasing the pigeons a couple of minutes earlier. I’m so… Read More

I'm Louise, mummy of three - Jessica, forever six, who was born with half a heart and lives on in mine; and heart-healthy Sophie (born 2013) and Thomas (born 2018). I blog about living with grief after child loss, crafts, days out and the little moments of family life.
