A Busy Few Days

Tuesday was Beth's first day at nursery. She has been looking forward to it all summer - going to big school with Tim. :) Unfortunately things didn't go quite to plan and Murphy's Law stepped in!

When Toby got up on Monday morning he was wheezing and I could see he was working hard to breathe. We popped to the docs and got a prescription and strict instructions to come back in a few hours. When we arrived back we were sent to A&E, great fun since they are doing renovations in our local hospital and there was lots of hammering and drilling. After a lovely wait there we eventually got to see a junior doctor. He wasn't entirely sure what to think so we waited a while longer to see his 'boss'. After a bit more poking and prodding we got sent on to the children's assessment unit to see another doctor and then, finally, got admitted to a ward (phewwww)!

So, Toby and I got to spend Monday night in Pluto Ward. Thankfully he seems to be just fine now and was sent home just before lunch on Tuesday armed with an inhaler which he is very good at taking.

Of course this all meant that I missed the all important first day but Steve stepped in and from all accounts Beth didn't notice I wasn't there and hardly noticed that Steve was. She seems to love it and is happy that she gets to play with Tim every morning. The picture on the left is of her proper first day and the one on the right is her 'second' first day. :)
