Being Grandma

Back home now. Phew, what a hectic few days, being the emergency Third Pair of Hands for poorly Baby E! A long-lasting heavy cold, chickenpox and then another episode of bronchiolitis is a lot for a little 13-month-old to bear and for his anxious parents to cope with. I was glad to be of help.

But he's on the mend now, thanks to the thorough assessment and treatment offered by King's College Hospital Children's A & E Department, and within a few days I was able to return home, exhausted and grateful to have a change of clothes and shoes, a glowing wood burner and my own bed waiting for me, after a lovely welcome from The Gardener and the animals.

I'm still tired. Grandmas may be useful, and an unending source of love and support, but they don't get any younger!

  4. It's always amazing to see how quickly small children spring back, even from bouts like this .
    Now it's your turn to be looked after . I hope Gardener is a good cook !
