Radio Silence

Apologies to all the blog readers for the recent "radio silence". Last week Joshua had a bit of a chest infection and was coughing and sneezing a lot. This problem was compounded mid week when he also cough a case of diarrhea and vomiting. We started getting really concerned about him on Wednesday and ended up spending 3 hours in Accident and Emergency as the local doctors were all shut due to staff training. Anyway after seeing a GP, Joshua was prescribed a course of antibiotics for the chest infection, some sickness medicine for the vomiting and diarrhea and some Dioraltyte to ensure he was getting enough fluids into his system.

So he has been a very poorly boy for the last 3 days and this in turn has been very demanding on me and Tina. Not only are we not sleeping much but we have to constantly make sure he is taking on fluids and his medications. On top of all this is the constant nappy changes, cot bedding changes, clothing changes, getting wash loads done etc.etc. all as a result of the projectile vomiting and the runs!!! Touch wood the little fella is almost back to his usual self though and you should see some more regular blog updates next week.

Anyway here are a few older pics and a video file of Joahua in his baby walker.
