Just in case anyone has sent me a U2U and I haven't replied yet, or are getting worried about the DigiDash2 order etc:
My 3 week old baby was rushed into hospital on Monday morning with severe breathing dificulties and put on a ventilator etc.
Me and my wife have been "living" at the hospital since Monday with me only popping home to check the mail etc.
Millie (my daughter) is a bit more stable today and has come of the ventilator, but still needs oxygen to help her breath and is still being fed
through a tube.
I even missed the Locost xmas doo!

Tis the season to be jolly, falla-boloc-la.
Suspected whooping cough, but she is too little to have developed a coughing reflex so chokes herself and goes blue.
I wasn't that worried till the doctor said 1 in 200 die from it!
Pat...
Oh dear...
poor little mite (she looks gorgeous by the way). It is so very worrying when they are so small and can't tell you what is wrong.
I spent many a worrying time at the local A&E when one of my sons was that little, he suffered from croup. He grew out of it and is a strapping
lad of 31 now.
Here is wishing her a very speedy recovery, and all the very best to you and mrs pat.

Know what your going through mate. Both my daughters have had meningitus. Lucky for us there fine now, but bet that does happen often.
Get some shut eye mate. Back to hospital in the morning for you. Take over from the wife.. Get you in the good books. Hope things go well.
Puts life into perspective when things like this happen,best wishes Pat.

Let us know how she gets on. Try not to fret too much I'm sure she will be fine.
As all above matey, sh1t has a way of happening at xmas.
Lets all hope for a speedy recovery and a less stressful new year.

best wishes Patrick.
I remember when my lad was that size, we had a lot of trouble getting the mixture for the infeed correct, and the emissions were way of what was
normal.
I also thought the valve that controlls the emissions was faulty and we had to employ a thing called a nappy untill the lad was nearly two years old.
The noise that he made would have him failing the SVA noise test.
He grew up to be a big boy and nearly bankrupted us on the way.
Hope the little one get's better soon and you and you better half can get some rest.
Regards Kipper
Hope all goes well for you all mate. Bad things always happen at christmas. Take care of you and your wife the doctors know what theyr doing. Best wishes.
Best wishes for the future matey From the Deckman house hold

Here's hoping for a speedy recovery mate. Have a good Christmas despite this, I'm sure she'll be fine. We used to think our daughter
had whooping cough when she was tiny, but she's nearly three now and still coughs like a consumptive when she gets a cold. Saps her energy a bit
but doesn't slow her down
Sorry to hear about your little'un Pat. Try not to worry too much - babies are a lot tougher than you think!
I'm sure she'll be fine.
Hopefully, she'll be home for Christmas.
Good lookin' gal by the way - which is surprising considering what dad looks like!!
Andy.
Very best wishes to you and your family Pat

Hope the little one is back to full health soon Pat.
Ours has had the usual snuffles etc. but I would be terrified if she had to go to hospital.
Best wishes mate, hope she's better soon!
Cheers,
James
