Well, christmas was not what we had expected or hoped for. It was a great day but the build up and aftermath have been pretty awful. On the thursday before christmas Emily was really poorly, I took her to the doctors on friday and they diagnosed a viral infection, she was really miserable just wanting to sleep and everything she ate came straight back up or straight out! I ended up having to take her to hospital sunday morning and they suspected viral gasterentoritus so I had to syringe water with a hydrating fluid in it into her mouth so that she could avoid being hospitalised. Luckily by christmas morning she was a bit perkier and managed to last the day well before going to bed early. Boxing day she was back to normal. Tom however became ill on Christmas day and threw up all his feeds, he got worse on Boxing day and the doctor again diagnosed the same as Emily. To make everything worse I then got ill on Thursday and was in bed for 2 days! To add to that our heating stopped working again!!!
Aside from all the illness Christmas day was great, Emily had her piano, books, puzzles, clothes and bits and pieces from us, including some make up which she likes to have on everyday and a doctors kit which she uses to check people and says "oh dear" a lot!
She also had lots of Peppa Pig things and Tom had tons and tons of new clothes which is great as he has pooed on almost everything he owns! Emily also got some new games which she loves playing and lots of craft things to get nice and messy with. She had some fairies and "unicorns" from Nana and Grandad and a Trunki from her other Nana and Grandad, which we will use when we go to Egypt in a few weeks.
Well, nearly back on my feet now which will please Wayne as he has been doing most of the housework! Got to be sorted as we have 10 people descending for New Year so need to be prepared! Happy New Year!
