mum & dad have both had colds for, like, AGES now and then i got an ear infection and baby matthew got bronchiolitis and i had to go onto antibiotics for a week and matthew had to work through his infection because the doctor at the hospital where daddy had to take him said it was viral and there was nothing they could do except wait for it to work it's way out of his system... poor little kid!
and, to top it off, he got a hernia from all his coughing and now has to have an operation on 1 september!!!

AND, now daddy's at home too - he's got...

...wait for it...
