Yes, it's a bit of a mile stone what with all the situations that boy gets himself into. The latest was last week. He was a few days from finishing antibiotics for the pneumonia, when he fell with a 'noise maker'(you get them at parties, and they can roll out when blown into) in his mouth. He was in the middle of harrassing Alasdair, so he didn't get much intial sympathy. I saw all the blood and he said his tongue hurt, but I couldn't find the cut. So he calmed down and went to bed. The next morning, by some chance I saw the roof of his mouth and there was the gouge....with a big bit of his hard palette hanging down.... and what I thought was a hole up to his sinuses. Walter saw the look on my face and asked if I would like him to call the hospital (our Dr's office was closed). At the hospital they gave him and antiseptic spray and said they couldn't do much else. Lucky he was still on antibiotics. Poor Walter got to take him for that trip. The hospital should give us a '10 for' card!
Anyhoo, his birthday was quiet, since he had a 24 hour fever and I had a major chest infection. Apparently it's raging its way around the canton, and Walter is most probably patient 0, having brought it back from Cali. At least we're contributing. He got a small trampoline, which he actually hasn't used yet. We keep wondering if he should use it. It'll end in tears.... or something. Here's a wee clip of the highpoint of his day. Listen out for him explaining that cake will make him all better.

Oh dear!
We are definitely hospital bound cousins! I have been to the hospital 3 times this month for various appointments and tests for several holes the surgeon would like to make in my mouth! It is so not fun having all those people put things in and manipulate one's mouth! I decided he could do a small one, but no experimental surgery on this here jaw! Thank you very much. I go back for wisdom tooth surgery the 20th. This will the 4th visit to the hospital this year. More then in my life. The year has started out grand heh?
What is it with these nasty bugs going around? We have the dreaded gastro (I think that is the stomache-flu?) and the flu.
It hit the schools hard. I don't remember these superviruses Stateside in the schools.
I have many colleagues out. Then, the cough, sore throat infection is now going around. I was so proud to avoid all of the above until Wednesday. Ho hum. Caught the infection in my sinuses and throat.
So that is why I have not come over. When I am finally well and whole again...Hopefully by April break!
I hope to visit my dearest cousins!
Bisous from Paris and a very big hug for Toby!
I understand man!
