thanks so much for all the emails and messages i have received wishing jo well.
she is still in a lot of pain but FINALLY we think we have a diagnosis.
the ear, nose and throat specialist saw her late thursday night and he says she has a serious staph infection in the gland in her neck that will most probably need surgery to reduce it.
he immediately sent to sydney for some super dooper antibiotic that she has to have before he operates. she has had 5 of the 7 doses she needs before he will operate and he will re-assess her this afternoon.
if she doesn't have this antibiotic and some of the "gunk" (now isn't THAT a good medical term) escapes into her system, she could face getting the infection through her body or in the worse case scenario she could suffer a massive heart attack.
fingers crossed the level of whatever it is in her body is where it should be by this afternoon and he can successfully operate on her and get this bloody mess sorted out.
mum and i took kye up to see her yesterday and there were tears again but he did the right thing and laughed and smiled for her and she fed him his bottle.
she wants me to take some pics of her so she can show kye when he is older just how ill she was - and then she said "and won't they make for a good scrap book page sis !!!"
this from my very non-crafty sister - i just smiled and chuckled to myself.
so that is the latest on poor jo.
she isn't better by any means, but at least we now have some answers and direction with her treatment.
the road to recovery will be a very long one for her i am afraid.
and now i have to shoot off to watch jakey play soccer, do some shopping for the craft day we are having at school tomorrow and hopefully this afternoon shut myself away in my scrapping tomb and get some VERY overdue scrapping done - cj pages, a DT challenge for tca, birthday gifts and some cards made.
have a great day girls and thank so much for all your support.
dare i say it......"I LOVE YOUS ALL"

I'm glad they have worked out what's wrong with Jo. It sounds very scary. Poor thing, it must be so hard not to be able to nurse Kye.

That's wonderful news to hear that they finally have worked out what's wrong. Here's praying that the operation can get all the 'gunk' out!
She sounds like she is fairly good spirits and that's wonderful.
hugs, Marie
I'm so glad they are taking some action Shazz and getting on track to get Jo better!
Big hugs to you all!
Chris.
I pray that things continue to pan out and that her recovery will be soon. Hope with all this you can still draw on some inspiration and get some time out with your scrapbooking!
Thinking of you girl,

My thoughts are with you all.

My thoughts are with her and her boys.
