First, second and third.

Well the bad news is that Tracey does have pneumonia, double pneumonia in fact.

Took Alice to see her in hospital today after her ballet lesson and Alice did a great job in cheering her up.

Tom didn't come as he has a nasty cough and we are all now panicking that he might develop something worse. Still they are off to Flamingoland next week so Tracey is in an enforced quarantine for four days or so.

I know that it is breaking her heart that she hasn't really seen Tom or Alice for over a week now as she was in bed all last week before we took her to the hospital but hopefully that will be rectified soon.

She has been told that she may well be allowed to come home tomorrow so fingers crossed. It's going to be a long road back to fitness for Tracey and she is going to have to take things easy for a while.

I'm absolutely knackered myself, I have every admiration for single parent families after the last week or so.

Alice has her first rehearsal for her Christmas show tomorrow and as the dance school is literally 5 minutes from the hospital hopefully we can collect Tracey after that.

Here's to tomorrow.
