Busy week

Well I've had a busy week work wise and now have 2 days off. Last Thursday I went into work to do my mid-day to 9 pm shift and was asked to go home again and then come back to do a 4.30 to 2 am shift. As it turned out I'm glad this happened otherwise I would have missed a phone call. My daughter phoned me to let me know that she had been admitted to hospital. She had had an ectopic pregnancy and had to stay in hospital for a couple of days. She phoned again last night and is now out of hospital and resting. Her husband is taking good care of her. She is coming back to this country next month so I will be able to see her. I am so looking forward to seeing her again. What happened to her certainly puts things in perspective. There are more important things in life than material goods. I was lucky with my pregnancies with my 2 children. I count my blessings that I have them. Yes work is hard but my family are more important to me than my job. At the end of the day you will always have family, jobs will come and go.

Thank you for sharing your life with me here hug I hope the best for your daughter and her pregnancy. Yes, what you said is true. "work is hard but my family are more important to me than my job. At the end of the day you will always have family, jobs will come and go." But money always make everything easier :)


Wish u great day!

Thank you for your comments. I was out earlier and saw an old friend I told her about what had happened to my daughter. Now until my daughter had an ectopic pregnancy I had heard of it but never fully understood what it was. My friend explained it to me and I now realise how truly lucky I am. It makes me glad that when my daughter was telling me that she was thinking of discharging herself from hospital I insisted she followed doctor's orders. I guess my mother's instinct kicked in. She won't be able to try for another baby for 6 months and then when she does fall pregnant again she will be closely monitored by the doctors. Hugs right back at all of you hug hug hug hug
Good the doctors reacted on time because a not early noticed ectopic pregnancy is very dangerous for the woman!
The most important is your daughter to relax and stay positive, not allowing this to traumatize her. She is young and hopefully everything will be fine the next time! thumbs up wave
Jana my daughter is one of the most positive people I know. She's already back on facebook chatting to her friends. Her husband will make sure she rests. As you say she is young and knowing my daughter she will get through this. You said what my friend said about the doctors catching it early. Thanks for your comment.hug bouquet
Your words are even more true than you may realize.
Unfortunately, none of us will always have family.
I have lost several family members. It is the way it is.
Cherish them while you can.
I'm sure you will do so when your daughter arrives. peace
sweet, I'm glad to hear it! You know how getting pregnant is dependent on a non traumatized mind. Great that your daughter's husband supports her! One day she will be mother and you a happy grandmother hug
