Family Forum / Pregnancy / Pregnancy / December 2006Prayers and good vibes please
My dad has been taken ill in hospital, he's not been well for a few days now with bad diarrhea and today he started bleeding from the back passage. I am in bits, one because I am so worried as to what this could be and two because I can't be with him. My dad lives in Bedfordshire England and I live in South Wales, a 3 hour drive. If it gets any worse then I will have to drive down there but this is going to be awkward because of Joanna. I feel so useless right now and just wish I could be with him. Please if your a christian then start praying, if you're into witch craft then put a good spell on him, healing stones or whatever I just want him well again. He's not met my daughter yet and I want this to happen.

The best way we've found to travel is to do it when the baby is sleeping. Perhaps you could leave at bedtime, and Joanna could sleep in the car while you drive? Just make sure to drink coffee or something to keep yourself awake! I hope your dad gets well soon. Amy Hi Amy No it wasnt the travelling thats the problem, my dad hasnt met her because well she's been in local authority care for the last 11 months so I couldnt take her down to Luton and my dad has been unable to visit this end due to work commitments. I wouldnt be able to take her down until Tuesday as she's at foster placement at the moment and I dont think social services would allow it so soon although they've said we can travel with her in the new year. I have had an update on my dad and they're not keeping him in over night so that can only be a good thing i hope. They're doing more tests so i'll keep updating.

It wouldn't hurt anything to call up your social services person and tell them what is going on, and ask if it would be allowed once Joanna is in your care full time. I would think since it's only 3 hours away, and family, and a major health issue, it would be okay. And really, it will be the new year, by the time you get her home with you. I mean, for them to say, "you can travel with her in the new year" but not let you take her the moment she is officially yours, just sounds kind of arbitrary. Of course, them taking her away from you was pretty arbitrary too, wasn't it! Anyway, it seems to me that if you ask permission, and let them know ahead of time that this may be an issue, that it shouldn't be a problem. You aren't running off with her to get out of the rest of your social services visits, you would be taking her to visit (and meet for the first time) her very ill grandfather. And again, it's only a few hours away, and likely for a couple days.

Is it Tuesday you are supposed to pick up Joanna, I'm sure most reasonable social workers would not say that you must not travel with her in this situation. Is there any emergency contact details, such that you could let someone know of the situation before Tuesday? If things get bad and you have to travel there before Tuesday, there may also be a possibility they could keep her in foster care a little longer. Though unless it is a life death situation, your priority should be your new family.
