Morganne has had a cough and cold for a couple of weeks. I took her to the doctor last week but she was fine...just something viral as her glads were up. Then Sunday her temp started going up getting to 39.5C...it would go down after some paracetamol but go up again...she was a bit wheezy and her breathing was a bit laboured (she was grunting)...she slept in my bed that night...then Monday morning I took her to the doctor and she said she had a chest infection and an ear infection and to watch her breathing...her breathing was worse by the afternoon and so I went back to the doctor and she sent us to hospital...so we spent the night in Princess Margaret Hospital for Children...not much sleep...mostly M sleeping in my chest in the reclining chair...but by morning she was improving so we came home...
She has been up and down since yesterday with some wheezing, temps and grunting but not as bad as Monday. She slept with me again last night as I wanted to keep an eye on her. Her temp did go up but her breathing was pretty good. It was tiring being in hospital but reassuring to know help was on hand. The staff were all fabulous. I hadn't been sure on Monday if her breathing was so bad and if I was just being a paranoid mum which is why I went back to the GP...as it turned out I am glad I did...better to be safe than sorry as they say...
Mum had been out to see us on Monday afternoon ( she spent Sunday with us too) so I was able just to leave Evangeline with her for the night and go which was great as Ben is at sea.
Other than that we have had a good week! E had her dance concert rehearsal...M clapped and kicked her legs around as she loves music. The concert is next week.
I have fixed some reticulation - I am very impressed with myself!!lol...Here is my handy work! This photo for Ben! I haven't filled in the hole yet so he can see it in real life when he gets home!!
Evangeline had Lara's birthday party on Saturday to go to...
And we babysat Lara on Saturday night and went to the school dance...
Morganne loved the music too!
And Evangeline has taught herself how to blow up a balloon...she is very pleased with herself!
Morganne has learnt to climb up onto the lounge chairs...she loves to climb in there with a book...but twice she has fallen over the arm! I have put the cushion on the floor to make it lower but still she went over the arm...
So she had a big egg on her head on Friday which is now just a bruise...the triage nurse thought I was at the Emergency Dept for that! 
Ben may be changing onto another boat...so he may or may not be home a bit earlier...and then going back to work just after new year...so we will see what happens...Lissy

What an eventful week you've had Lissy! I'm glad that M's breathing has settled down now and that you guys were well looked after at the hospital. Just love the gorgeous pics of the girls, especially the one of E with the mask on and M peeking over the lounge!!LOL
it's been an eventful week for you Lis! glad M is doing better.. and well done on the retic work.
I remember when Riley started walking around the furniture, he would have an egg on each side of his head because he would just all of a sudden sway to the right or left and hit the floor..
Phew, glad all is well again
