Last week Thomas came down with a cough and a cold. At first he seemed okay, but when he started to become wheezy, we made an emergency appointment with the GP. By the time we got to the GP, Thomas had perked up and was chasing Sophie around the waiting room. I thought we’d end… Read More

From the mouths of babes #61

The Friday Focus – 04/03/16

04/03/201603/03/2016

We’ve spent half of this week in hospital due to Jessica having low oxygen sats and a chest infection. Her sats had been on the low side for the past couple of weeks which we’d put down to her having a cold and a bit of a cough. She seemed fine on Monday morning when… Read More
