What a night!!! And Leigh has a surprise!

Everything was fine when the kids went to bed, and then about 10.30pm Robert needed the potty - nothing new there - except he felt like he was burning up. So I took his temperature, it was up to 39.7°C (102.74°F). What a shock!
Florian and I both carried on watching the TV, both of us worrying silently, then when we went to bed we both couldn't sleep. The only thing the doctor said to watch for, when we left the hospital with him, was for a fever. Bother! In the end (about 0.30am) we got up and called the hospital, the ward he was on, when he was in, and asked, if we should be bringing him in right away. She said to just give him something to bring the fever down and to go straight to the doctor in the morning. Which needless to say we did!
She could find nothing obviously wrong with him, his temperature had dropped now to 38°C(100°F) and he was acting totally normal (I wouldn't even had taken his temperature, if it hadn't been for the night). We now have to watch him closely and if the fever is still around in 3 days time, straight into hospital! Thankfully though it seems to have subsided, tonight it is normal. We also have to watch for nose bleeds, gums bleeding and excessive bruising (that one is a difficult one, as he is always getting himself bruised somehow or another!), and if that increases or occurs straight back to her.
It certainly made for one sleepless night for me! And I don't think Florian did much better either!
Florian by the way stayed an extra day, just incase Robert and I had been sent straight to hospital, which luckily we weren't. He left about 5.30pm to catch the train. It was good to have him here longer. Certainly helped my frayed nerves.

But on to brighter things.
This afternoon we went in the garden (again!) and Richard got on Roberts bike without pedals (skooting bike??) And off he went. He looked so proud of himself! He loved it! Robert is getting a bike for his birthday, so Richard will inherit that one it a weeks time anyway.
Our neighbours have a new Rabbit (Winnie) she kept getting out today and visiting one of our rabbits, it looked like they were kissing at one point. Luckily SHE couldn't get into our rabbit, as it is a HE!! That could have been interesting in a few weeks time! We put the rabbit back 3 times today, not sure how they are going to solve the escaping problems! So I may be catching it some more times this week!

Now about Leigh's surprise. She has been working on a Quickpage album! And its a beauty! She used Phillsboo's Being a Boy Kit, which you can get at DigitalArts Cafe.
Here is Leigh's preview, and if you like what you see (which I am sure you will, pop on over to her blog - picture is clickalbe) and pick it up, and if you do, don't forget to leave her some love.



I used the same kit, to make a layout for the Shape Challenge at DSO. The challenge was to scrap something with a ball in it. That was no problem, lots of pics with the boys and balls around here!
