My life. The blogable bits.

I don’t get very many good photos of Amy, because, well, she moves… alot. And she is fast and wont sit still and most of the time she ignores me too. Especially when I am saying ‘where’s mummy?’ so she will look at the camera. Anyway. I DID manage a decent photo of her today, decent by my standards anyway! LOL! Would you believe she is already 20 months old? Me either. She is growing into a vivacious toddler. But she is still such a baby in so many ways. Which is good because I am having a hard time letting go of the baby stage.

And the other day, it was dewey and I saw a cute little spiderweb that I thought I could muck around with some aperature settings on my camera. This one was my favourite photo that I took.

Okies, well, I am off to push some paper around while Amy is asleep.

I took this photo of the cat. I think he looks a little evil. But I still like the photo, just the same.

So, finally for my 8 things tag. Thankyou to Sarah, Moi and Tanya for tagging me.

And I received my new Apple Blossom Studio stamps in the mail. These are fair dinkum gorgeous! I am so excited that I get to play with them! They seriously appeal to me the way other stamps don’t. Love them.

I would like to thank everyone for their comments and emails about Steve. I will get around to replying to them all individually. But until I do, thankyou. Very much.

Steve is home now. I am so glad to have him home.

The irregular heartbeat was atrial fibrillation and his heart went back to normal after some medication. He has a heart specialist appointment in just a couple of weeks. We are positive there is now nothing wrong with his heart and that it was a direct consequence of the adrenaline shot. But when doctors start throwing big words and procedures around you really start to worry.

As for the anaphylaxis, the doctors seem to think it was caused from hair dye. So. We shaved Steve’s hair off. It was either that or try and wash the dye out before he finished his course of meds. We took the easy road on that one, I think. He has an appointment with an allergist in 6 weeks.

So, for now. It’s mostly smiles around here.

I am just so happy to have my man home.

My blog is usually a happy place for me to come. To share bits of the good stuff that happens in our daily lives.

Today is not a happy post.

Steve suffered from anaphylaxis last night and I cannot describe the absolute horror and pain I felt when I saw him collapse unconscious.

He scared the hell out of me. He scared the hell out of himself.

You want to know what I did in my panic stricken state? Scream at him to get up and shake him.

I have this horrible guilt. Why the hell didn’t I firstly ring 000?

Maybe when it’s the person you love most in the world, you can’t really think clearly?

Guilt aside, he is ok now, shaken, as we all are. But ok. Although now they have found he has an irregular heartbeat and are looking at that.
