Oops..Been AWOL

This hasn't been updated in a while. Mum hasn't been well. She went to work one day and came home with a banging head. By the next morning it hadn't shifted and she was tired. The next morning was April Fools and she groaned and Dad joked this you playing an April Fools on me? He soon realised mum was really ill. Temp of 40 degrees, very sore throat, bad headache etc. She couldn't get out of bed. Turned out she had a very bad throat infection. But the headache continued and on Thursday night despite attempting to make it through the night to the next day to see the GP, she couldn't and NHS 24 rushed her into hospital. We got plucked from our beds and taken to Granny Plumbs. Well Granny Plumb was out but Grandad was there.

It turned out Mum's muscles in her neck had siezed from the fibro and that was what was causing her headache. Friday resulted in Mum in so much pain that she called an Osteopath who has managed to unloosen the muscles a bit and give some relief.

She did manage to take us to the park the other day. The park is no longer the same. They've lost so much equipment and it's just not the place to play safely.

We went out with Granny and Grandad Plumb to see Monsters V Ailens which was really good.

Our Great Uncle has also suffered a stroke and is in hospital. Granny Oz was looking after our cousins when it happened so mum ended up looking after 4 kids when she was ill. We've also had to cancel our holiday but Mum promises Sunday will be fun.

The good news is we still have 6 school days off :p
