I'm not quite sure if I'm coming or going at the moment! I'm kind of glad that my head is attached to my shoulders, because I have no idea where my mind is at the moment.
I'm sorry for not updating you all on the weekend's prayer requests sooner! Partly because we did end up using the 'fast pass' on Sunday morning! McGee woke up with a 39'C fever (nearly 103'F) and a cough. These alone wouldn't have worried me too much but he was also complaining of stomach pains! Not feeling sick - just pains. So we rang the ward and headed in to get things checked.
All was fine, but we had to wait quite awhile for him to be able to give a 'water' sample before we could go back home. So we read several chapters of a book before he had drank enough to 'go' as it were. He then yesterday asked (???) to take a nap in the afternoon and woke with an earache. So dh came home from work early to take him to an emergency appointment at the GP's. Monkey went along for the ride and while the Dr was examining McGee, she decided that Monkey had the same thing and gave them both anitbiotics!! I had kept telling Monkey that there was nothing wrong with him! (bad Mommy!)
We have also had Sportacus off school still this week - enough said about that one!! Roll on Monday morning!
It was Pumpkin's first birthday yesterday and things were crazy with his Mum last night. He came back with 3-4 bin liners full of toys!!! HUGE toys that are simply too big for our house, so they went in our loft still in their boxes! About 15 outfits all too big for him, and Sportacus had a new t-shirt on that looked positively EVIL with skulls, snakes and five pointed stars on it!
Jack and Jill are also here twice this week for overnights, so I've had to deal with that too and three contact visits for the foster kids. And we had two social workers here on Monday to start the ball rolling to get Sportacus checked out and a diagnosis of what is going on with him. At least we have some support now! And he saw the Dr yesterday so we should have a referral soon!
On top of all that I'm trying to get everything ready for the little ones to go to a friend's for respite this weekend and for us to get to South london for the resource fair with Math U See! It is my first fair and I'm running in circles trying to figure out what I need to do!
I better go because there is simply too much to do and not enough time to do even half of it! But I wanted to update you all on McGee and let you know why things will be a bit quiet for a few more days as I won't actually be here! Thanks for the prayers and support! What would I do without you all?? |

Praying for healing for everyone and for the MUS fair to go well for you. It should be a piece of cake after this last round of sickness, right?
Love,
