The last few nights have been tasking, Daniel has developed a terrible cough ( not an infection) but a problem with his asthma or hay fever, anyway, medical issue aside it has meant that he has been coughing and coughing until he has been sick. After a few trips to the doctor and a late night visit to the emergency doctor nebulizer and all I have spent 2 nights propping Daniel up so he doesnt cough too much. During these sleep deprived nights it has actually given me the time and space to think. Of course I would much prefer to have been catching up on my beauty sleep , goodness knows I need it! but it has put things into perspective.
I have been thinking about the past, present and future of our current situation, I truly love the Peninsula and Hoo especially, I love the new contacts and friendships that have begun to form and I love how close our old friends and family are for support when we need it.
It may be exhaustion kicking in but reflecting like this makes me realise how much I really appreciate all I have been blessed with, a lively toddler, a devoted and creative husband a supportive family and the pleasure of doing a job I love meeting and engaging with people in the community. The next 2 years could invovle many big changes across the board and these 2 nights have helped me to realise that I need not worry, I have one greater who can deal with that, but to truly enjoy the moment that I have been blessed with...which I shall try to do!
Hi VK's. One 'trick' which helps with these situations is to run the shower really hot and sit in the bathroom 'steam room' style (obviously not IN the shower..that would probably hurt). Its certainly helps with nebuliser type situations. Hope Dan works his way through this quickly.
