Why is no news, good news?

Clare's returned from the hospital, she was very sad. Caitlin is in the childrens ward and staying overnight. One of the children there got "very" ill and had to miss her MRI so Caitlin has taken her place, we're grateful but there's some poor parents around here that obviously aren't. A case of thank God for the smallest blessings I guess.


Molly & Caitlin - best buddys!

There were 8 doctors & nurses attending Caitlin, but no-one has so far given an indication of what is wrong with her - apparently fits are quite common in toddlers as a result of a fever, but her temperature and blood pressure is normal. I'm sad to say that it's looking serious. My heart goes out to Megan and Brent, I really have no idea what I'd do in their position. Brent is a very private man, and Linda caught him sobbing his heart out in the corridor while Caitlin was having needles put in all different parts of her tiny body.

Jesus, I hope this works out okay. I've had a thought at the back of my head that this was all over reaction by everyone. I was wrong, but I wish I was right.

In my experience, a life crisis usually serves to bring everyone together and galvanises action, probably one of the reasons I'm an easy-going guy - but this is different. It's breaking all of our hearts and there seems to be nothing we can do. Until a diagnosis we can't even look it up on the internet.

Whether you believe in God, gods or nothing at all - a prayer is in order for the light of their lives. God bless you Caitlin.
