General

Another of Donna's lovely designs to help celebrate three years of journals.  I believe the official date is the 21st August.

I know a lot of you have been waiting to hear about Daniel.  Well, so far everything is pretty inconclusive.  All his tests came back clear as I have already told you and that is a great relief.  Becky asked if it could be some sort of allergy but received no reply (She had already tried taking him off cow's milk and putting him on Soya without any result). So, they have now issued him with an Asthma inhaler.  Not that they are saying he has Asthma, they simply do not seem to know - they have told Becky to try it if and when she thinks he needs it.  It it works it works, it if does not - they will see him again at the end of November!  So it is all very much hit and miss and I feel also rather unsatisfactory.  Maybe they are just hoping he will grow out of it.  Well, only time will tell now.

Mike has been busy making the new side gate.  I was going to take a before and after picture but the phone rang and I had rather a lengthy conversation with a friend.  By the time the chat was finished the old gate had been dismantled and demolished, so no "before" picture.  I do not know whether it is worth putting an "after" picture on because you will have no comparison and after all, it is just a wooden door.  Anyway, he has assembled the new one and added hinges.  Now he has to fix it in place and add bolts and a lock etc. etc.  He will be doing that today.

Whether it is the change in the weather from scorching hot to really cold and now back to hot again I do not know but the last couple of days I have been a mass of aches and pains.  I hurt all over so I shall be taking it easy over the weekend although we will be seeing the family either today or tomorrow.

Anyway, that is about enough from me for the moment. I just wanted to update you all on Daniel. I shall be catching up with all your journals very soon.

Wishing you all a happy weekend.

Sorry they couldn't find what's wrong with Daniel. It couldn't be an allergy to pet hair could it? So many things nowadays cause allergies. I hope the inhaler works for him. I've had aches and pains lately, I put it down to old age! I expect Mike was happy the weather cooled down while he was putting the new gate on! Jeannette xx

Your weather pixie is telling me you have a nice day with just the right amount of heat. Take it easy and sit with your book in the sunshine, it will do wonders for you.  Glad Daniel's test are OK so far.  Love Joan.

That is to bad can't they find out exactly what is wrong with Daniel. Hope the inhaler does the trick. Seems like they should do the allergy test though. Good for Mike putting up a new gate. Hope you all have a great weekend. Hugs, Helen

With all the modern medicine we have now -- they still do not know everything.  One of my grandson's had a problem with digestion that he had to take a pill for...now he is going to be 2 in September and has outgrown the problem and no longer has to take the pill...hopefully your Daniel will outgrow his too !  I know it's not the same kind of problem, but just wanted to let you know they sometimes do outgrow them.  We've had the heat, now we are at cool, but will be heating up again.  The back and forth in temps does cause us some discomfort. Hope you're feeling better !  'On Ya' - ma

That is so weird about Daniel.  I hate the "We don't know what it is, but we know what it isn't" diagnosis...I hope it turns out, okay...Jae

Hi Jeannette,

I've been MIA, but caught up on your entries.  So happy that all the tests are coming back negative on your little Grandson.  Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Take Care,

Hi Jeannette,   I`m glad Daniel`s test has come back negative and I hope the inhaler works for him but you must all be at a loss as to why he is having these problems.  Let`s hope he does grow out of it like the doctor says.  I`m sorry to hear about your aches and pains, I personally find the hot weather sets of my arthritis so I know what you mean, though it`s confined to my wrists and thumb joints thankfully. Have a lovely time with the family. :o)

Love  Sandra xxxx
