Illness

We have been fighting sickness for over a month. I have had a chest and throat infection, Emily has had high temps, runny noses and coughs. Joel has had coughs, colds, new teeth and runny noses. He and Emily have both been vomiting but this week has been the worst!

Joel has confirmed swine flu and rsv which has really floored him and us. It is too late for tami flu as he has had the flu for too long and the antibiotic only works for the first 48 hours. The rsv has left a really nasty cough which has prevented sleep, but we hope that we are on the last run of it and that next week will be better. It would also be good to see friends, go to church, keep appointments and meet ups with people as well as go to work without feeling guilty or stay at home without feeling guilty! On a more positive note Joel has managed to fight these horrible infections quite well so maybe his heart is stronger that we think!

Thanks for your love and prayers; there are lots of things going on at our house but we know that the world does not revolve around us, we have just been swamped and due to this have been rubbish at keeping up with you all. Hopefully this season is done and we can move on without sick, snot and illness.

Thanks for the balloons... Ellie-May, Lilah and Sam.
