Kids

A hell of a weekend. Last Tuesday night my son Joe (3) woke up at 11pm with breathing difficulties. Thinking ti might an asthma attack brought on by the high temperature (it has been really warm here this last week or so) we took no chances and called an ambulance. It turned out to be a virus causing croup - an inflamed larynx causing the difficulty in breathing. By 2.30 am we were home and all was well-ish. Since then Joe's behavious has been dreadful. Totally non-compliant and rebellious. We think it might be down to the sucrose in the medicine he's been taking, causing him to be hyper, so hopefully as he no longer needs the medication, things will improve. But he has driven me to distraction over the weekend. And just he has recovered from the croup, his sister Rosa (6 months old) looks like she's got it, leading to more sleepless nights. The joys of parenthood,eh.
It's now Monday afternoon, and I've been able to escape to the office for some much needed rest.
