h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

All families have different family traditions, which we lovingly follow or suffer through. mine is no different
I wish we didn't have this tradition, I thought we had escaped this year.

Two days before christmas and all was well... till then it struck TRADITION!

our family tradition seems to be illness

now if we dont count great grandmas broken vertebrae because technically that was a few weeks ago and she's still running around...

this year... yesterday just as we thought at last at last we can have christmas without someone being sick or a hacking cough or pox of some sort....

Charlie fell and fractured his arm just above the wrist his left radius I think...

so we spent about an hour maybe a little more in triage children's ward and saw all the little wounded elves. one boy had a surprisingly (according to his mother) large pebble stuck up his nose, he's had x-rays and has a back slab plaster from hand to shoulder (so he dosn't take it off) and he's gone back into hospital today to have it re x-rayed and make sure everything is fine,

as for Charlie having full mobility of only one arm hasn't stopped him at all, he's still running away from mummy and laughing, still jumping on the sofa and still trying to climb on everything in sight....
*sigh*
oh well, perhaps next year we will be tradition free!
