We are pretty close to our camping holiday now...we really need a break from the norm as do our friends who we are going with. Should be fun...7 kids (3 seven yr olds, a 5 yr old, 2 two yr olds & a 1 yr old) , 4 adults, 2 tents lots of food & drink & hopefully sunshine!
The loss of the dummy during the day only had one blip...yesterday when poor Herbie fell down a step in the garden straight onto his nose :( many tears, blood and screaming which only 'dumdumdoody' can soothe. Other than that it's been plain sailing. He definitely is a little unsteady on his feet...not sure if this is linked to the meningitis or glue ear!
There was excitement over the news of a possible breakthrough in Meningitis research linking it to a certain gene that makes peoples immune systems more susceptible. With Dan having had two different cancers by the age of 21 and then his son having bacterial meningitis it makes you wonder...it also makes me worry that they could both be at risk again...
See you on the other side of the camping holiday!
