Caelyn's Health

As you may be aware, we have all had 'flu. I eventually had to have an antibiotic and I am almost well again.

Caelyn is still very sick though, and getting worse. She can hardly breathe so I have had to give her a ventolin inhaler. She needs a doctor because I am sure she has developed an infection on top of the virus. There is a bit of an epidemic on though, and people are being told not to go to hospital. The GPs are off on their Christmas breaks until Monday. Caelyn is pregnant and she has kidney damage. She needs to be seen and also to go to bed and stay there.

As a mother, she can't just go to bed. She says Nigel feels like a single parent and he is getting irritable with Wendy because he isn't over his 'flu properly either. When they were here this evening, I wanted to let her lie down and let Michelle and I look after Wendy but she said Nigel would be cross with her if she did that. She has not been able to eat and she has visibly lost weight - not ideal in pregnancy. I don't think her body can stand much more.

I gave her my mobile phone so that she can call a doctor if she gets worse. There is a possibility that Doctors on Call have a Surgery tomorrow. They need to find out sooner rather than later. Nigel will have to do it because she is too breathless to talk.
