Back to Hospital

It is now Friday night, and we have just had the most delicious chilli deep fried prawns, and sweet and sour pork on sticky rice from the local chinese takeaway. While the others are catching up on TV programs, I thought I would catch up on my blogging.

Logan has not let us take the splinter out of his foot, and it got quite red around it, so we decided to go back to the Accident and Emergency hospital where we had taken Linsley last week. The doctor had said to Linsley to come back again, but he just chatted to him to make sure he was OK. Then it was Logan's turn, and he was not a happy chappy. The doctor - a young chinese kiwi guy, was very good, and wrapped a sheet round Logan to immobilise him. Then two nurses held him down while the doctor struggled to get the splinter out of his foot to much weeping and wailing from the poor little guy. There was lots of blood but the doctors were really good. We have to take Logan back again tomorrow for them to change the dressing and let them see that all is clean and healing.

Yesterday Margi had her once-a-year work in a store day, so she only left home just to get to the Warehouse up the road at Sylvia Park just before 10. Today she was named the 'buying team leader' of the month so she was quite chuffed .

Today - Friday - was Logan's day at home, so then Andy came to fetch us just before 3pm as it was the Christmas Party at Logan's Kindercare. Margi had a cute little elf outfit for Logan, but he had a blue fit when I put it on, so we managed a couple of photos before we had to take it off and put another top on him! There are 18 children in Logan's 'class', and five teachers to look after them. There are other classes for the bigger kids. Today there seemed to be hundreds of people there. The children sang and danced and generally played around, we had snacks, and then Santa Claus gave each child a gift. It is now just after 9pm and he is not asleep yet, so obviously got over excited today.
