Two babies dead after infection at Belfast hospital
This is just crazy. Bella was born here at the Royal Maternity Unit in Belfast and spent the first 5 weeks of her life in this very unit and room!
Imagine how the parents of those 2 dead babies are feeling right now! I don't know what I would do if anything was ever to happen to Bella. Touch wood!
Two babies have died at the Royal's Maternity Neonatal Unit in Belfast after an outbreak of an infection called pseudomonas.

two bombs in derry… same night!
How mad is this bloody place they call the "City Of Culture"! 2 bombs phoned into Police at Strand Road using codewords.
While the Police where evacuating the surrounding areas both bombs went off with only 10 minutes seperating them.
Some people are just stuck in the fucking past!
The @policeserviceni have confirmed this via twitter
"Police in Derry can confirm two explosions at Foyle St and Strand Rd. no reports of injuries. Full details on PSNI Newsline."
And while I type this, there Read more [...]

Phyiso and Spina Bifida Clinic
Bella has been discharged from hospital now for 4 days and I have to say she is definitely getting back to her normal self. She is constantly shouting and screaming for attention, never stops saying "da da da da da da da da da da" and finally is starting to eat a lot more than she has done the past few months. Both me and Amanda have no idea where she is putting her food as she takes a solid feed along with about 90ml of milk every 4 hours or so LOL let's just hope she keeps it up so she can Read more [...]

Madness in the fast lane (Full 50min Film)
Holy shit! This is not for the faint hearted, but brilliant watch.
In 2008, BBC cameras filmed two Swedish sisters throwing themselves into traffic on the M6. When it was shown on BBC One, nearly 7 million viewers were glued to their screens, and millions more watched it later on YouTube.
The footage was shocking. One previewer wrote "On no account miss this documentary. It opens with what is perhaps the most extraordinary footage I've seen on TV".
But this amazing footage was only part of Read more [...]

Sunrise Friday 13th January 2012, Strabane, Co. Tyrone, Northern Ireland
Short 27 second clip of the sunrise in Strabane this morning! Amazing!
All is quiet on the western front
Decided last night it was probably best if I went back to work today just to make sure there is no urgent work needing done and if so to clear some of it up. So I arrived into work at 8am this morning to find there was only a few things to do for one of our clients (Bubblebum Booster Seat - free plug).
I got the work finished up as quickly as possible as Bella was having her scan today, and there still wasn't a time arranged for and I may have to leave at anytime.
I arranged with my boss Read more [...]

Another day in Altnagelvin Hospital, and another day of frustration with some positive results!
Well today was another long day in the hospital with Bella and Amanda. When the doctors where doing their usual rounds this morning Amanda was quite happy to see a consultant that had dealt with Bella in the past due to her blood sugar levels being low.
He asked all the usual questions, what kind of form has she been in, in the past 24 hours, how has she been sleeping in the last 24 hours, how has she been feeding in the last 24 hours etc etc Amanda just answered the questions without to much Read more [...]

A few comments I got from yesterdays post about Altnagelvin Hospital
Well guys, what can I say!! I've had a huge response from friends and family about the care levels they have experienced at Altnagelvin Hospital and to be honest, alot of them haven't been great repsonses which isn't really reassuring considering Bella is still in their care at the moment...
Here is a few statements from people with their experiences at Altnagelvin Hospital.
Just read this Tyler, the hospitals a joke. They couldn't figure out what was wrong with me at the time of my diabetes Read more [...]

Bella and Altnagelvin Area Hospital
As some of my friends will already know Bella is back in the hospital yet again. This last few months for her has been hectic with her health and she has been making frequent visits in and out of Altnagelvin Area Hospital.
Bella's health problems include: Spina Bifida, hydrocephalus, mosaic turner syndrome, a mild form of epilepsy and also she has low blood sugars but that's down to her being so small.
It really started on Christmas Day past (2011) when Bella wasn't her normal self, she was very Read more [...]
