17/12/09 Day 35. Thursday

Nothing to report........ It is just a waiting game while Owen is recovering. Misses school and all the activity around it. But, has managed to keep himself busy working on fences and general repair work around the house with his Grandad overseeing (what else would he be doing). Still vigilant about his health. The longer he remains out, the more tense we are, wondering when the next bug is about to hit him. We are rapt to have him home, and are expecting someone to say that it is a false alarm. But as you run your hand over his head as he sleeps, monitoring his temperature as you would with a new born child, the thin hair sharply reminds you that there are bigger stakes at play.
Thank you again to all those that have provided meals. They have been a lifesaver as we try to catch up on the lost month, and try to keep on track for Xmas. The easiest option would be to play it down, but there are others in this house that should not be forgotten. Time is precious at the moment so the meals are a godsend. We are getting a great variation, from casseroles, stir frys, barbecues and more, gourmet delights to hearty family favourites. All wonderful, and I am not kidding. So thank you. We will be publishing reviews for each meal and there will be a monthly winner and wooden spooner. The review will be published in the Bayside Leader.... lol.... Seriously, thank you again, again and again......

Yay! Fab to hear that you're doing well at home and people are keeping you all fed. Am sure Uncle Tony could learn a thing or two from you and your repair skills!
