Kate and Nigel needed a bit of respite last night as Wendy has chickenpox - for real this time! She couldn't even cry, her throat was so sore. She wasn't here all that long, but she was developing new spots in front of our eyes. She had lots in her hair and in her ear, but the worst one was on her eyelid. She was obviously feeling grotty, but tried to smile a bit - she's such a 'game' little thing. Her trying to be brave and trying to be cheerful was heartbreaking. We felt soooooooo sorry for her!
I will go to Dover to look after her a bit this week so that her parents can get some rest. They are very good and very patient but there comes a point when enough is enough. We would rather help before they get to the end of their tether. Thats what families are all about.
