Today…
At 8am: Some of the kids (Ivy included) have woken up with colds. Imogen will be staying home because she is too sick for school.
I realise that my quest to start the Christmas shopping is not going to happen.
It is cooler this morning and the sick children have begged off our daily morning walk, which I was kind of looking forward to but what is a girl to do? Break out the chocolate I say!
Ivy has a check up with the ENT doctor and I will begin my ‘negotiations’ to have her adenoids and her tonsils taken out.
Ivy finally has an appointment for the sleep clinic. It’s only taken ten months to secure.
The big kids have told me about three children in South Australia who are critically ill, two of whom are in a coma, because a highschooler gave them some ecstasy tablets and told them they were lollies.
I am very thankful that my children have had the knowledge of the devastation of drug use for as long as they can remember.
At 11pm (Don’t say anything - I know I should be in bed): Imogen is sleeping ok and I think her temp has broken. Ivy’s temp is going up and Noah is calling out in his sleep (asking for a book).
Ivy is scheduled for adenoidectomy straight after the sleep study and if it shows that Ivy has apnoea, she will have a tonsillectomy too, although our friendly ENT doctor was quick to tell us that he felt she did not suffer from apnoea (yeah, like he has to sit up with her in the wee hours because her sleep is interrupted by gasping and hysterical crying) and there would be no need for tonsillectomy.
Can anyone say FIGJAM?
I now know that I hate predictive text on my mobile phone. When I tried to text David this afternoon, that… "Immy is sick" it predicted that I was trying to say…"Limbo is shmuck"
Is shmuck a word?
oh poor Immy - hope she is feeling better very soon.Ivy too.
I guess it is some relief with surgery being at least booked.
I hate predictive text too - it sucks and yes a person can be called a shmuck LOL I think it means a jerk ! (I checked on google - yep ! http://www.thefreedictionary.com/shmuck )
David must have wondered what was going on with you … hope you are all better next week.
