Sleeping children

Make a parent's heart sing....no really I do adore my girls but I also enjoy that magic time when there is silence echoing around. My dear husband would say there is no silence and that I make far too much noise all by myself..who'd believe him I ask you ????

Chloe is getting sick again. Her moist cough has decided to return after two weeks of being at home. Her temp is slowly rising and she is getting a little miserable. Even more telling is the fact that she is fast asleep in the lounge room at the moment. She has never fallen asleep in the day time since she was about two...Even when really sick she has battled on. But today she is asleep. She has slept through her daddy coming home early (thank goodness he did, he is now getting Jess). Poor chooky, she deserves a break.

A funny note to the Chloe hospital story. She returned to preschool yesterday for the first time since before the holidays. She was like the prodigal son being welcomed back to the fold. It was so unbelievably gorgeous. As well as her best friend there were other kids, who I don't think she has ever played with much, who were falling all over themselves to help her out. They were doing full body tracings and then painting in the outlined body. Chloe had 5 people wanting to paint with her. So like the missy she is, she sat there saying, yes you can paint my eyes, but only this colour, my clothes must be purple etc etc. It was lovely to see her so so comfortable with being back there. Well as long as mummy was still in eyesight anyway :)

My big princess is my hero at the moment. She has this amazing habit of just getting on with it all despite the chaos that enfolds us right now. She is flying through school, maintaining great friendships and perfecting the pout and hip swings famous to pre teen girls...oh god help us...

Madness, madness, madness

Not a lot of magic here recently. So...Chloe had her procedure. We got the initial results. Then we headed up to Brisbane yet again to see her immunologist. What we needed to talk to her about was left by the wayside as she told us the next lot of results from the bronchoscopy. They did a saline washout of her lungs under GA to see what bugs were there. Well she had mighty impressive ones let me tell you, staph, strep and psuedomonas. So our two week hospital stay happened the next day. Were our heads spinning...you bet and to be honest they still are. Thank goodness for an immunologist who said we could do it closer to home.
