Bugs!

Change my nappy!
Get me medicine!
Peeky...

...boo!

Angelic...

...to Trouble in .3 of a second.

We've had a quiet week with both kids being unwell. Zack had a gastro which resulted in a trip to the paediatrician. While there I commented that Daisy had a fever....then was back the next day with her. Turns out she had a throat infection but she was only really miserable for one day which was a relief. Poor Zack was poorly for a week and has lost a lot of weight (although he's still reassuringly chunky). Actually it was more poor Bec and Andy, he was pretty perky but gastro nappies aren't much fun. There was one incident that wins hands down the most grossed out I've ever been as a mother award. *Gags*

I had an interesting talk to the kid's paediatrician, he's been practicing here for 20 years and said that kids here get double the amount of infections than in the UK. Mainly down to so many people coming from so many countries bringing in germs galore but he also said the air quality is pretty bad. He also remarked that this year is the worst one he's experienced for illness. I'm hoping we escape the bugs for a while but with chicken pox and hand, foot and mouth currently doing the rounds I'm not too hopeful...
