Daughter 2 is home for a whole week plus the weekends on either end, which is lovely, and here she is reading an intellectual Spot book with Grandson. Only a couple of days afterwards, however, he was in hospital with breathing problems brought on by a bad cold. He got out late afternoon today, after a day and a half. Because Granddaughter is still exclusively breast-fed, Daughter 1 wasn't able to be with him much, so Son-in-Law 1 did most of the sitting with him while I did quite extensive respite hospital duties both yesterday and today while SIL 1 went home to eat, shower, sleep etc.
Thankfully Grandson is much better - still coughing and having to use an inhaler, but on the mend. He was such a good boy in hospital but it's a relief to have him back home. The stress!
I am so behind with blog-reading but must now go and do other, more pressing things such as the church magazine.
oh dear. it is a good thing you are retired :)
ReplyDeleteJust as well Grandma is round to help! Hope your little feller is on the mend.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry Grandson was so ill! When my daughter was 3 weeks old, my son (who was 2.5 years old) had to be hospitalized overnight due to dehydration from the flu. They wouldn't let me stay with him because I was breastfeeding my daughter exclusively. That was a heart-wrenching night for me. My husband stayed with him, and my mother-in-law stayed with me. Thank goodness for Grannies!
ReplyDeleteI love it when I am able to help! Unless it lasts too long, so I am glad for many reasons that your grandson is home again and on the mend.
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy picture that is. Thank goodness all is well now and how lovely that you were able to help.
ReplyDeleteWhat a worry. So glad to hear he is on the mend.
ReplyDeletePoor little thing. Hope he's charging around soon.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your grandson, how scary that must be for him and all of you. Glad he's on the mend.
ReplyDeleteHow frightening. All good wishes for recovery for all of you.
ReplyDeleteWhew! I'm so happy to hear that small grandson is home now Isabelle. That must have been VERY stressful! Enjoy what little time you have left with DD2!
