Three months! <br /><br />I gave up after a while. Even now, I am shocked thinking about it, but the NHS broke me. My daughter was having seizures and I stopped calling and emailing asking for advice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1634443036491852586.post-22693019723395265602010-09-07T16:09:27.593+01:002010-09-07T16:09:27.593+01:00i know that if i were in the same situation, i wou...i know that if i were in the same situation, i would no act so calmly. i just feel like when it comes to hospitals and places where waiting is the expected thing... its very hard for me to behave. i cannot imagine how difficult it must be, but i can tell you that its gotta feel good to have these new ways of communicating that seem to be working, at least better than we have had the ability to in the past. <br /><br />i mean, you twittered this complaint and got some response. if you had been there with shannon maybe things would have gone differently. but that would have only been because her hands were full, not because she was any less motivated to get help.<br /><br />i can only say that if me and mary were there, we would do anything to make the day easier. you have to know we love you all very much.<br /><br />bob and maryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1634443036491852586.post-76159012739278640562010-09-06T18:59:07.846+01:002010-09-06T18:59:07.846+01:00really sorry to hear Maggie's not doing so wel...really sorry to hear Maggie's not doing so well. And how the hell can they keep you waiting for so long everytime you go to that hospital?? Shannon, you are truy amazing & strong for managing that. When I think about Analou having to wait anywhere for more than 10 minutes... Wish I could be there to help you out...Hope Maggie will get better again soon. xxx WiniAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1634443036491852586.post-36058145901835299852010-09-06T15:41:49.222+01:002010-09-06T15:41:49.222+01:00My heart bleeds for you. I had 3 wonderfully healt...My heart bleeds for you. I had 3 wonderfully healthy kids who make me proud but if i was in your situation i would be screaming! As you already know I so appreciate my luck with my kids - the whole "but for the will of god i go there" thing - that ANYTHING i can do to help i will, just ask, it breaks my heart and your strength in dealing with it all is amazing you have tons of respect from me and I worry about you. Any way just ask and hey if you really want the birthday cake at least tell me the date - dont worry about the design etc I will give you my best!!<br /><br />Love GillGill Angelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03549713467800967982noreply@blogger.com
