Sick bugs

The poor mother has been unwell for a while and after a few weeks of little/no improvement, she's finally better the weekend past. The sister and her then contracted food poisoning/gastric flu a week ago. For a week now, Kate was unwell with a slight cold and cough. It became a full-blown cold (leaky nose, non-stop sneezing) last Friday, which pretty much worsened over the weekend with her temperature creeping up & her cough worsening. The husband and I have been fighting hard against the bad air around but alas, I’d succumbed to the bug too. I’m self-medicating (drugs overload at the pharmacy) but my heart goes out to the little one whose temperature rocketed to 39 this morning. Good thing the husband was able to take off from work to bring her to the doc’s and (sniff) my baby is diagnosed with bronchitis. It’s nothing serious (blood test all clear!) but this will mean a tough week ahead for us as we nurse her whilst continuing to fend for ourselves.

GO AWAY BAD BUGS! GO AWAY!
