A difficult week so far...

Olivia and her apple!


Taken today, when the medicine was working, and Olivia was feeling OK!

Sandy perched on the frame of his bed..

We're all tired. Very tired. It all started on Saturday when Sandy was allowed to stay up late to watch the Eurovision Song Contest with Anna and I. We then had a late Sunday bed after a street barbeque with some neighbours, and then, on Sunday night, Olivia developed a high temperature, fever and a cough which kept Anna and I awake most of the night.
Monday night was worse! Olivia woke at 1.10am and was crying on and off till 4am, despite having medicine. The result has seen Anna looking shattered today, and I feel knackered too! It's been difficult keeping myself going at work the last couple of days. This evening, Olivia again has been very late going to sleep- nearly 11pm to be exact, so we are hoping she is now so tired that she'll sleep most of the night. Fingers crossed! I suppose some might ask, "Why haven't you taken her to the doctor's?"
The answer is simple. We both know the doctor will just say to keep giving her the Calpol and Nurofen at regular intervals and it should improve. Yes, that's our caring Health Service in the UK!
Hopefully she'll be on the mend very soon.
