happy 2nd birthday to lunatic john, yes hes 2, where did the time go

This time 2 years ago I was anxiously and impatiently waiting for Lunatic John to make his grand entrance into the world.  I rang DH all excited, “where are you”? I ask, well the news that followed wasn’t good.

DH had been sick all night vomiting, he had gotten food poisoning from a sandwich he ate in the hospital the night before when I had checked in, I was devastated as he would not be there for the birth of his son (by c section) so to the rescue was my mum, I was upset but not letting it get me down as I had been waiting 9 months for this very day.

So he came screeching into the world at 11 am, he screeched not cried, oh hes gorgeous, the biggest of the 3 weighing in at 7lb 8 oz, ironic considering he is now the skinniest little thing ive ever seen.  He was gorgeous, just unbelievably gorgeous. 

It was days before Dh made it to the hospital, I was actually going home the day he and lunatic john met by c section, On his arrival home there was excitement and joy but not for one little boy, on no, he isn’t staying here taught Mr Fabulous to him self as he tried to push Lunatic John off my lap onto the floor, Oh dear, were in for a very long settling in process.

Well on his first birthday, his brother still hates him, poor Lunatic John is so ill we could not celebrate on the day, he is in and out of hospital as his weight plummeted to next to nothing from the winter vomiting bug, trouble was he hadn’t much to spare to begin with, all sorts of tests were done, he is now under a paediatric team and is seen and weighed every 4 months even to this very day.  He has been diagnosed with hyperactivity and he weighs now 11, 1 kg, this is great although not very desirable for his age and height.

So we didn’t get to celebrate his first birthday till 2 weeks after, never fear always next year, sure he wont know the difference.  A year had passed and he is still the craziest little thing running around, climbing everything, chatting non stop in 2 languages, yes he speaks English and Brasilian Portuguese, he is absolutely off his rocker.  He has scarcely slept a night since the day he was born; he has aged my self and his dad by at least 15 years in his 2 short years with us.  How we manage to get through a day is beyond us but we do and were still happy and doting parents.

Lunatic John is infectious, his smile is just to die for, which is good for him as when you are really at the end of your tether with him you just see him smile and you forget that you wanted to strangle him 10 min previous.  He is the best child and so intelligent and curious, he learns at least 5 new words in 2 different languages every day, I really forget that he is only 2 sometimes as hes just beyond his years.

So today jan 7^th is his birthday, I swear that he is cursed.  We have a swine flu outbreak in our house, Lunatic John being the only one to not have it, if he did it would near kill him so he is gone to stay with his uncle for a few days, whom is fit for the nut house at this stage.  So yet again another day of his birthday we cannot celebrate until the following week, ironic as his due date was Jan 17^th, he was born 10 days early due to the section, at this stage im really tempted to change his birthday to that date.

So happy birthday little man, I really hope your spoilt today with your 2 uncles, I hope you run the ragged and wear them well out, and I can’t wait to give you a big birthday cuddle. 

We have a massive birthday party planned for Jan 16^th with all his little buddies and yes we will celebrate big style lol

For the rest of the news on the blog

No start date yet for adoption course, hse rang and said no idea when it will start, great, aren’t the wonderful, my daughter will be arriving when my other daughter moving out to go to college, great like that’s so what we want NOT

No news on the hse paying crazy Jane’s backdated dca, il get it, I will, they aint getting away with that one

                                         

Mr Fab is slowly recovering from swine flu but other than that he is doing great, still not to fond of his brother but its getting a bit better with them both, hes loving school and doing great.  He was re-diagnosed after his educational psych assessment with LF non verbal autism and is functioning at the age level of between 12 – 24 months, we are delighted with this news as is an improvement from 12 to 18 months.  The diagnosis is great news as means he gets to stay with his services and the HSE can’t get their messed up hands on him to destroy all the hard work we have been doing and that the services he is with have been doing providing for him.

Crazy jane isn’t so great, the Aspergers is really taking her over like some possessed demon.  I really wish there was such a thing as an Aspergers exorcism.  I hate Aspergers, give me autism any day.   She asks now for permission to even go to the loo, WTF is up with that, everything is a sin, EVERYTHING, she is sorry for every move she makes, its really driving me insane, we keep telling her, an accident is just that, an accident, why you saying sorry and fretting about it, we keep saying, its your house, just go the fucking loo already, stop asking us for permission, she needs to clarify and justify her every move with us, im really ready to explode, her fears are ten time more bizarre and irrational than they ever where, she is going slowly round the bend, and there is nothing that I can do, ive tried everything, ive begged every single service I can for help to the point that I rang social workers in tears and begged for them to help us.

They are giving her counselling sessions once a week, her local NYP have stepped into the rescue, they can see all I have been describing and they are starting basic social skills with her and will talk to social workers about further help for her, the social workers trying to get her speech and language quicker that their willing to give it, at last something is better than nothing.  We are struggling a bit with her but she’s still the best kid in the world so that makes it easier.  I also got told that the Doc ROGERS accusation had been investigated through the social workers visits and chats to us and they found no evidence to support his accusation and that they where happy to report that Crazy Jane is at he securest and happiest when at home with her family, so FUCK you doc Rogers, can you hear my engine revving up, run fat boy run lol na only in my dreams and taught but I will get him in court   :P
