Seasonal Bugs

DH has now been ill for a whole week, with a vile cold that ended up being a rip-roaring chest infection. He has been barking, coughing, snorting etc day and night , and he is consequently suffering acute sleep deprivation !!

He caught this from Abby, who was given it at school. I am profoundly thankful that at least Abby managed to escape the Scarlet fever which a child at her class contracted, and who was still attending school because their clueless family doctor didn`t know what the rash was !!

Abby has been coughing and spluttering for about 10 days now, but she was thoroughly checked over during a routine hospital appointment on the Friday before Christmas, when the paediatrician assured us with a smile that this particular cold/cough bug seems to be taking up to three weeks to clear up.................

So only another two weeks of an ill husband to go , LOL.

I would rather be ill myself, frankly :-)

Three weeks? Eeek!

Glad Abby doesn't have scarlet fever, though!
