A BIT OF EVERYTHING....

Well what a week. James went okay in the trial clinic for the Flu vaccine (it contains egg and he is allergic to egg). It was done at PMH incase any of the kids had a reaction. He did test postive for a reaction to the vaccine in the skin prick test. Only the second to do so thus far (thats my child). So they had to split the dose in two. One injection, wait 30 mins, 1 injection, wait 45 mins. He also had a blood test inbetween as they are conducting research into allergies and need samples from allergy kids. Unfortunately, they couldnt get any blood from him at all, but tried both arms. So the poor kid walked out with a skin prick test on his lower left arm which had swollen from the testing of egg and the vaccine. An injection in each upper arm and a blood test in each arm. He was very brave though and so far no reaction. We have to watch for 3 days.

Well the kids decided to dress up today as they were a little bored. I couldn't resist taking pictures of them in their dress ups. Shannon was Stitch from Lilo and Stitch and James was a jar of 'Hunney' from Pooh Bear. Don't you love the Disney Shopping Site?

Well thats it for this week. Except the same thing happened to our other clipsall switch on Monday (what is it with Mondays???) the one that runs the lights. It actually happened on Sunday, but we left it until Monday to get someone out as the Sunday call out fee is $295.00 (yep thats right!) plus..... $295 for the first 1/2 hour after that. Yes, I know, I should have just plucked that money tree in the back yard. Well as this electricity thingy has now cost us around $1000 in 8 days, I think I should have planted a whole forrest of those bloody money trees! Hope next week is better. Fingers (and toes) crossed. XXXXXXXXX
