Sunday

Glorious day!

We all arranged to meet on the hill to watch the sunset. After a clear and very warm day we expected a lovely evening. The couds gathered, the temperature dropped and the wind picked up. Twelve of us and the dog met up and very soon went home again!

The baby has had a lumbar puncture and has a drip in place. Antibiotics are being administered every 4 hours. In between he has "observations" and has endured frequent blood tests. The hospital has given the parents their own room with a double bed but neither has slept properly since the labour started on Tuesday. Things are fraught indeed.

I've "googled" Meningitis in newborns and it is serious.

However, Jenny has now been allowed to cuddle her new grandson. Fingers crossed for a full recovery.

In other news, Clive's car is behaving like nothing is wrong and the oven has stopped working.

8 years ago, my mum died.
