First week back at work - what a week

First week back at work was good and now only have three left before summer holidays, yippee!
By 10.30 on Monday morning, it truely felt like I had never been away. I am mostly based in Reception which is good but can get a bit boring. The week at school itself went ok and didn't find it too hard, however it was a tough week as Liam has been extremly ill. It started Saturday evening when he said he wasn't feeling too well so he went to bed. He then stayed there till Monday morning when he went to the doctors. As for Martha we were lucky that my parents came back from holiday early Sunday morning. They were coming to say hi anyway but ended up with me greeting them saying can you please stay!!! They stayed till Monday night and looked after Martha and even took Martha swimming which they thoroughly enjoyed. Liam went to the doctors and she said that she had only seen tonsils that bad in text books. He was given medicine and then was feeling a lot better. My parents went home and we all thought things were getting better. Tuesday Liam had a long day with Martha and was glad when I got home from work, still not feeling loads better. Wednesday evening we decided to arrange for someone to have Martha on Thursday and Liam went to see the doctor again on Thursday. The doctor told Liam that he had to go to a and e to see the specialist. They kept in hospital over night and was pumped full of drugs. He was told he had sever tonsilitus and had an abscess on the tonsil. He has also been told that if anything like this happens again then they will consider removing them. Very scary! Anyway my parents were able to come down and lend a hand and are still here now, they are going back home tomorrow. Liam is feeling a bit better but still not great. His sister Jen is coming down on Tuesday so will get some more support then. Yippee! Get well Liam we miss you!!
