I did go out for a nice (quick) walk this morning as I wanted to get back and (sort of) help husband. The sunrise was beautiful! A couple phone photos
Today was also the third anniversary of losing Aunt Jane. I think of all the things that have changed since she passed. I like to think she would have been proud of Baby A, a Great-great Neice. She did a lot with my children and I think she would have enjoyed seeing Baby A.
Speaking of Baby A. Plans have changed. Daughter sent a pic this morning of her with a spotty face. They thought it was because of her drooling, but later she started coming up with a rash in other places. It meant a trip to the doctors. Funny in a way, as yesterday when I was talking to sister, she was telling me that her grandchildren (in England) had been off from school and nursery because of Hand foot and Mouth disease. Not something my children ever had. Well, guess what Baby A has? Yes. It's Hand, Foot and Mouth disease. She has to be off daycare until she heals. I offered to see if I could get a flight out to help out as she cannot go to daycare. I managed to get one for tomorrow, so I am flying out early! Husband and son will still be driving down next weekend.
It does mean rushing around, trying to get last minute things sorted, but I really want to help. I feel bad about not being close enough to help out. I've sold a few things on Ebay lately, so I'm able to do the flight. Daughter will pick me up from the airport. I wasn't going to take the computer with me, but as I'm staying longer I think I will. Baby A goes to bed quite early and so do daughter and son-in-law so it will be a good time to work on some photography projects
I'll be back soon - from Minnesota!
Oh, no! Poor Baby A! I hope she recovers quickly. It's nice that you are able to fly out right away to help. Well done on the decluttering, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm glad I was able to help. I feel so bad about being so far away!
DeleteThe hand foot and mouth thing is very odd, I'd never heard of it (except foot and mouth in animals) until recently - seems it's world wide now
ReplyDeleteMe neither! It wasn't anything my children ever had. I heard it is spread quite quickly and seems more among the younger set. I think there are a lot more young children in nurseries and such and they share so many toys and things.
DeleteIt will be so nice to see Baby A again and your daughter will be pleased that you can help.
ReplyDeleteI was glad to be able to help!
DeletePoor Baby A! It's so hard when babies are poorly. Your daughter is so lucky that you can go down. Sending hugs, especially on this anniversary.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much. Yes, it's tough when they aren't feeling well. Thankfully she hasn't been too cranky!
