We wish you a Happy Christmas....

What can I say time is flying!! James went to the Imunology Doctor Nicholas Brodzsky last week. He tried to show me on a picture what is wrong with James immunesystem. One "road" is wrong where the bloodcells do not go the proper way, then he has found something strange, the tests says everything is fine the second way but the results does not. There could be a lack of a small protein on the MBL cell, if there is then James is the first in Sweden for it to be discovered on! I asked him if James will recive a diploma in that case ;O). I told him then it is not from Sweden, and Nicholas just what I was about to say it is probably from England, thank the Lord for doctors with a great sense of humour!! Anyways thankfully it is nothing dangerous, it would just explain things why James is ill as he is on and off. Gammaglobin and antibiotics will help him with the virus infections.We will have the results in the begining of next year.

We have been working with out sitting room but we have now realized it will not be finished in time. So hopefully for New Years!

Jamed has had a temperature on and off but that is how it is, fo the moment he is eating fine, he was sick yesterday big time in the evening but not as much as it can be.

My Cousin Beccca and her youngest Izabella came over for fika one day this week, Becca had made gorgeous Saffron Rolls, she brought us some sparkly white from their family to us *how sweet*! Izabella is the most sweetest girl and James was very interested, I was mostly worried she would end up with a toy over her head since James is not the gentlest now a days. But it went fine! Lovely to see my cousing again, unfortuanely we dont see eachother as much as we could , because of tiiiimmeeee!

Colin, Timothy and Marten have been making Christmas Chocolate this morning.Then we took down the small tree from upstairs and change it to the big one since we now will not celebrate Christmas in our sitting room.

The weather outside is frightning...da da da dada

We finally took the picture, yeeeiii!! Rudolph, Santa bandits, the Grinch, Star boy and the Angel in the family enjoyed it as well, it is a nice family tradition. Thank you Lorraine and Andy for your help driving around to Mother cares to find a Snowman suit for James!!

James has been sick/ill on and off since we came back from England. Two Fridays ago James came down with high fever and vomited all weekend (more than usual) so I was stand by to take him to the hospital, but I kept my head cool and thankfully it was never necessary. Thanks to the Mac Key we could feed him slowly directly to his tummy. Neville, Colin and Elliott became ill later the next week as well, poor boys. I was sure it was stomach flu James was coming down with, but it wasn't then we would have been in hospital after some hours. The slightest James goes down in his health he stops eating and vomits, just how he reacts. After about 5 days James was better but then he started coughing a lot instead and of course he did not eat much so he needed to be connected up. Now he has a bad cold and runny nose and eating so and so. On Tuesday he is finally going to see the Immunology Doctor Nicholai for the first time, after James and I are going up to Ward 67 to wish the staff all happy Christmas!!

Oh forgot the most important news!!! Filip the boy who had two heart transplants; IS AT HOME DOING GREAT!! Could it be a better Christmas!!?? Miracles happen and we should all be grateful for having our closest around!!

Finally the wallpaper is down from the walls in the living room so we are getting there. At least we will have a fresh sitting room for Christmas :O)!! I am really looking forward to spend Christmas Eve with Nigel, Timothy and James and at Christmas Day the whole family is gathered.

Christmas shopping is soon all finished here I have been wrapping presents all day, all those Father Christmas cant bring, he needs some help poor old man bringing pastels to all the children around the world...

Jingle bells, jingle bells :O)

Time is flying, it is soon Christmas and our house looks like a bomb went off. We are ripping down wallpaper from the walls in living room, bedroom and sorting out wardrobes for us. Like you don't have enough when you have 8 lovely children to buy Christmas presents for ;O).

We will have a nice quiet Christmas at home, just enjoying seeing the children's sparkly eyes!! Christmas Eve M, S and E are going to their mothers and C, N and E are going to their Dad. Timothy and James are spending Christmas Eve with their Mummy and Daddy. Christmas Day is the greatest day for all of us when the whole family is together .O)!!

On Christmas Eve we are having, julmust (Christmas drink), spiced herring, eggs, smoked ham, mustard, brown cabbage, salmon in different variations, meatballs and prince sausages (small ones), ris ala´malta (Christmas rice porridge with whipped cream and strawberry jam. Lots of chocolates and nuts. Christmas Day; TURKEY!! :OP small, round, green cabbage (forgot their name now), roasted potatoes, mash, gravy, Yorkshire pudding, cranberry's and a pudding after. YUMMY YUMMY. Those days I will gain what i have lost lately ;O). I am proud to say I have lost 8 pounds in 4 weeks, weeehi!! but then I have 14 pounds left to lose before I am happy. I will start working out at a gym soon as well.

James is doing alright, this morning i thought he had come down with the tummy bug, but so far it is ok :O). He is a pain in the neck now ;O), blimey I am spoiled he has sat still for so long and now suddenly he moves about :O). He is gorgeous!!!
