Oh Happy Days

Today was a good and a bad day for our family, depending on how seriously one wants to take the Drs which is a very difficult question, since they often give way too much information that often ends up being completely irrelevant and has just served to give worry where it was not necessary.
I find myself today being perhaps the only person I know to be delighted to have gallstones, that is because since November I have been sick, sick sick and in agony and on New Year’s eve the scan didn’t show the stones and now the stones are very evident.
In the mean time I have been given no end of tests for different things, to find out what is wrong, and all have been negative, but the chances are the gallstones were hiding! So now I have an illness that has a name that can be treated, I will be in hospital and will be having some surgery on Tuesday, with a camera and an umbrella. I had a nice Dr Matthew explain it all.
My liver tests came back today worse than ever over 500, and they are meant to be between 0 and 50, I wonder what has caused it to be so high?!?
So that is good news and bad news, but I feel that overall it is good news.
But it highlights the how seriously one should take what the Drs say, today I have found out Isobel has a problem with her red blood cells breaking down, but it could be something that passes like a virus, but it is difficult to say, firstly because she still has my blood because her spleen is to immature to make all her own stuff. Secondly because she had a blood transfusion this week. I am given to believe that blood transfusions on neonates is fairly run of the mill stuff but, not the broken down blood cells. I really really hope that this is just another one of those things that the Dr tells you that you wish they hadn’t because it just really really worries you for no apparent reason in the end. Or at the very most serious she has the beta thalassaemia trait that I have, and nothing more serious.
Also Aurelia had a problem with passing urine, which may have been nothing but may be something, I just have no idea. When the two identical twins are together at least the doctors can check each for what the other has.
I love my little ladies so much.
Daria made me laugh so hard today, I was changing her bum and she weed, nothing strange there, they all do that to me. What was funny was when I thought I had cleaned it up, she did a liquid pooh that came out at straight up and hit the side of the cot with such ferocity it was like a water pistol with yellow water. Not a pretty sight. Nasty Pasty....
I hope it didn’t hurt her, the nurses said a lot of the babies do it, so it is normal, so I have my fingers crossed that it was just funny and didn’t hurt.
They are so funny and so mischievous already I am sure of it.
The best news of the day, ignoring all the worrying things that we can do nothing about but hope and pray, is that Richard has got a job at the school that he really wanted to teach at. It sounds like exactly the place he wanted to go, I am hoping this is a fabulous start for our family. It will be hard when the girls come home for sure. But I hope that we will manage some how 
If this job works out we will be able to spend time together in the holidays as a family, it will be fantastic.
I am simply delighted.
How lucky are we, the girls are growing and appear to be doing well, I know what is wrong with me and will get better, Richard has a job and we will all be together one day soon.
