Sick Child

Hey Folks

How ya doin? I would like to lie and say that we are all well but given the tile of this post you could probably see that it isn't true.....and my pants just burst into flames!!!
Ok so Master 10 is unwell, he has been put on a steroid to keep his lungs free of infection - we got it started early so hopefully it doesn't develop or we will be in hospital and that is no fun.  His ears are starting to go red but are still clear and he has a good cough, he is needing his ventolin a bit more than normal - which is a concern as we had been doing so well at keeping Asthma Attacks at bay.  He said to me yesterday that he didn't want to end up in hospital and that he is scared that we will. I responded with well if we do end up in hospital than you know what is going to happen and I will be there with you, and the more you worry the worse it is going to get. I don't need him to be making himself worse by worrying about it, the logical part of me is already making a list of what I have to pack incase we do end up there and what I can take to keep myself and him amused if it does come to that.

Ok so I wormed the kittens this morning, getting the tablet down their throat is really hard and one of them left a tooth sized hole in my finger, why can't they be as easy to worm as the dog.  He is a case of tell him to sit and just give it to him no fuss no muss, the kittens well you pry open the jaws of steel being careful not to catch your fingers on the razor wire as you shove the tablet in, let the jaws spring back, rub the tablet down the neck Yay success....only to have them spit it out and have to go through the whole process again, and again, and again, and again and again till finally you do have success then you lay in wait hoping that they don't spit it out because the process was so enjoyable the first 50 times we did it.

Ok so hubby gets home tonight, he was away on another business trip I swear he is going to have enough frequent flyer points for all of us to go to Europe soon  - I have been  informed it wont even get me to Melbourne for the weekend so I guess my European family holiday is a nonstarter :(
Oh well there is always the hope of me winning lotto..........oh wow a pig just flew past my window, have never seen that before.

I must away as I have a child that needs pain meds, I need coffee - wonder what would happen if I gave him the coffee me the meds????
