I've started doing Friday afternoons in my kids school helping year three and fours with reading. It's great!
When I got there I was sat in the staff room going on about my amazing kids how we go for long walks up the mountains and over the hills for hours on end and how they love it. It doesnt take me very long in any given social situation to start going on about my kids. I'm one of those annoying parents.
When I went into my daughters class I was looking around at all the work on the walls and I found something by my daughter, it was a thing where she had a picture of herself and some writting about her... at the bottom it had that she didn't like chillie peppers (I tend to put them in lots of food) and that she didn't like going for long walks!
It made me laugh.
How funny!
My sister has always been one for taking her kids camping and on nature trails and my niece (her daughter) put in her school book "We had to go camping. I did not enjoy it. I prefer heating and shops"!
Awww Bubblegum, doesn't it make you laugh, the things our kids come out with?. xx
Indeed :)
My son was rushed into hospital the other night by ambulance, rather scarry! In A&E me and about ten assorted nurses and doctors were crouded round his bed, he was on ventalin and had been given adrenalin, he couldn't breath or talk, just rasping and trying to gasp for breath, they were very concerned as he kept nearly passing out.
Not as concerned as me mind : )
We were trying to get out of him anything different that he might have done, eaten during the day that might have bought on what ever was happening, noone seemed to have a clue untill they phoned up some doctor and made him come in especialy, he had a constricted trachea due to a viral infection that had caused his vocal box and the tissue around to inflame.
But anyway! he was desperatly trying to write something in the air at one point with his finger betwen gasps, so a nurse gave him a pen and paper and we all crouded round for this important bit of information that might help discover what was wrong. He painfully wrote, word gasp, word gasp, it was practically illegible and so I had to translate but what he'd written was... I was just dreaming about Lego Universe.
Everyone laughed.
He's all better now, appart from the fact he now 'apparently' has evidence to prove that he isn't actualy a hypercondriac as I often accuse him of being.
How horrid for you!!
Youngest has asthma, and I've had a few horrid visits to A&E. My heart goes out to you. I'm so glad he's better.
Awww Bubblegum. You and he must have been so frightened. The poor thing. So pleased to hear he is ok now though. Is he on any sort of medication?
How absolutely awful for you all, Bubblegum. Did they originally think it was asthma?
How many times are we as parents fobbed off with "It's just a virus" at the doctor, and yet viruses can cause awful complications, just think of viral meningitis. Thank heavens he is Ok. Don't tell him that the virus is aggravated by eating sweeties 
Initialy I thought it might be asthma, well initialy! initialy, when he woke me up at about half one in the morning, I thought it was just him being his normal hypercondriac self. It wasn't untill he started flopping about on the floor like a fish out of water cluching his chest I realised it was serious.
He was working himself up into a panic which was making it worse, he calmed down when I cuddled him and held him but I could see he was still having difficulty breathing, his stomach and just below his adams apple were concaving fiercely when he was breathing in.
We both calmed down as soon as the ambulance arrived and he was put on a resperator thing.
He's alright now, appart from the look of I told you so he gives me from time to time : )
And he's not on any sort of medication, he was initialy given antibiotics at A&E but the consultant later told me that it wouldn't have done anything that it was just because they didn't know what was wrong so were trying different things. He told me that the adrenalin was what helped him settle down the most.
I got to see a chest xray of him and it made tears come to my eyes, I don't know why but seeing all his little bones, his little collar bone : )
Ah yes I can see that he is
Know what you mean about the Xray. My son broke his hand last year and I had to see his, it was not little, he is bigger than me, but still it twisted ny heart
Children are fantastic, how they recover so quickly! I love the lego universe thing...
Ah....
I'm sure her teacher was grinning when she read that!!
