Day 2 ~ Summer of 2015

Well, Day 2 did not quite go to plan! What should of been a day of church then work for me and beach for the girls did not turn out like that!

I woke in the morning to Niamh asking for my phone. 10 minutes later I had the worst headache I've ever experienced and then started vomiting & felt like I was sitting in the Sahara Desert!

After a few phonecalls back and fore to NHS24 they decided to have me taken in to hospital by ambulance. It took a wee bit longer than we thought to get to us and it transpired they had been sent from Glencoe. A bit of a delay while they checked if they had to first go to Barcaldine for a ladder accident but then we were away. Felt heart sorry for the girls. 

My cup in A&E was a tad ironic!

Long story short is that bloods came back as normal, urine didn't and CT scan of my head was fine. But erring in the side of caution the consultant wants to do a lumber puncture tomorrow. Ugh!

And to add insult to injury my veins wouldn't play ball so the drip is hooked up to my tummy!

Had a lovely visit from Mum, Andrew & the girls this evening - poor Charis was so much quieter than normal, Niamh just seems to take everything in her stride. Charis brought me Rose Quartz, the healing stone ... sweet lass!

So much for getting stuck in to the housework tomorrow! Some folk will do anything to get out of tidying!!

Day 1 ~ Summer of 2015

Day 1 of the Summer Holidays started slooooowly! Charis still has an awful cough, throat and is still complaining of a sore tummy.

The girls decided they wanted to go swimming & snorkelling at Ganavan ... despite the temperature only reaching 17 degrees Celcius. Joy! So we packed some snacks, picked up Noni & headed to the beach. 

The girls had a fantastic afternoon, though the water was cold so I wasn't inclined to do much swimming, walking in to chest level was enough for me! 

We were really annoyed though at the amount of dog owners ignoring their dog's poo on the beach, one woman just kicked sand over it. And one dog blooming peed on our food bag, much to my disgust! If you cannot get your dog to obey you then don't let it off the lead. 

Anyway, it was a lovely afternoon, despite the icy feel to the water!

Each day is precious, each moment with those we love must be cherished.
