My mum seemed to be retaining water and the majority of it collected in her lungs, add diabetes and blood pressure and it all adds up to a fatal combination. Fortunatly the doc managed to treat her and flush out all the fluids using some good old fashion methods. W made an ironic comment about the whole situation, she said to me that I know your mum is not well but you must remember to spend time with us. I thought this ironic as any time her Dad was ill she would shoot off and leave me and D7 to fend for ourselves, but I guess these words shows that things are improving with us.
The teasing with D7 is becuse she is a diffent colour and our social background is not as well heeled as the other kids, We knew it was getting bad when she told us she didn't want to go to school and she fiegned illness to miss dance class. We have mentioned it to her class teacher and to her dance teacher so we hope they will deal with it in the correct manner. I am teaching D7 the differeces between different colurs and races and hopefully some tolerance and compassion to others I wish the other parents would do this too.
