Well as I sat in my parents house on new years eve with my husband Ste, and our three children and my parents, the clock struck 12 and I raised my glass of champagne and said "the only hospital i'll see in2010 is for appointments only" two days later where was I in hospital.

I woke up on new years day in so much pain,and been violently sick, that we thought i may have a burst appendix but because I did not have a temp I decided to wait to see what happened. By the monday I could not keep anything down and the dr sent me straight to the womens health unit in our village hospital.

I was put on a drip and had xrays and scans to see if my appendix had burst but because it was not clear they decided to use a camera through my tummy button, Thankfully my appendix were ok but my overies were not which I had left after my hystorectomy when i was 28. They sent me home after a week still in pain and still been sick. I went back to the drs who put me on petherdine which was awful.

After a week on that I ended up back in hospital with the same pain, this time I had a ct scan which showed that I have crohns amongst other things. I stayed in for another week and then came home worn out and still on strong pain killers, and on a elemental diet. Luckly the kids egid has been behaving so I have not had to contened with that as well.

Feb started and after a trip to gosh were I met Helen and Ben, I was readmitted to hospital for even more tests,Including scopes and biopsoes,I have also been told now that I also have endometriosis as well as crohns.

The pain is really bad and I can really feel for our children with eosinophilic illness as I feel I truley know the pain they are in.

As of today 1/03/10 we are getting ready for Alexandra_grace to go into gosh for scopes this week, Josh is food trailing but his main diet is still the EO28 extra callum has been on a increased dose of azathoprine which has made him sick. Ste is been a house husband and still doing his job in the army, and I am waiting for my scope results and a readmission into hospital.

So this so far has been the start of my new year, and I am still laughing and smiling and still coping with three children with EE,EC and ED.
