In Sickness & In Health.

Our little lady had a vomiting episode last night and Papa slept in her room (yes, she's moved out!) to make space for her in ours. She's all better this morning, thankfully.

Our big girl didn't feel good at school today and went to bed early tonight. She threw up shortly after and is now in our room for the night, under observation. 

Papa generously gave up his bed space for her. He and I have different roles and this seems to be his lot, for better or worse. Everyone seems to want mum when they're not feeling well.

The other children and I made up his bed for the night and added a few cosy touches (our big boy thought the Barney pillow would be a good idea).

Such is the domino effect of sickness... All it takes is one sick child and the next few days or sometimes weeks are spent battling the same bug affecting the other children.

It can all be rather daunting to think about but I suppose a positive outlook is a grace that makes these hurdles bearable. This, too, shall pass and we'll just, as joyfully as possible, keep putting one foot in front of the other.
