While Dad's away...





























This week has been quite an adventure…

Murray flew out of OR Tambo on Sunday morning and has been preparing for his optom exams in London for this past week (working at the university clinic and studying) and catching up with some good mates. He starts writing the exams on Monday and finishes on Friday – so do please keep on praying for him; next week is going to be incredibly pressured. He’ll be gone for just over two weeks (arrives back in SA on Monday 22 June). The pics of him and Cam are at the airport Wimpy, which didn’t have a high chair, so things got exciting with Cam smearing his marmite sandwich on the luggage, etc…

Back at home things got even more exciting. Besides the fact that Lola knows the Boss is away and is suddenly snoozing on the couches, Murray’s car broke down, and Cameron went into hospital on Thursday afternoon (vomiting, high temperatures and convulsions –a viral infection).

The past few days haven’t been barrels of fun, but as always there are so many things to be grateful for: like the fact that Cam had the convulsions in the emergency room at LCM, with two doctors and four nurses right there (as opposed to in my car, in the Charles Street traffic), and that I got to stay in hospital with him and didn’t have to sleep sitting up in a plastic chair, and that Cam was so good even though he was feeling lousy, and that my folks could keep me company and bring me clothes and take-aways, and that we got to come home yesterday, and that he is so much better. Today he was his normal, laughing little self (though still a bit pale).

The other photos: playing in the laundry (Cam’s favourite room of the house), enjoying his supper, his bedtime milk and breakfast with some of the boys.
