A few months of sickness...

This last few months have been tough regarding sickness in our home. We thought it was just one of those seasons where it feels like everyone is sick for months on end but now we know the real reason.

Just over 4 months ago we were invited to a party at some reserve with rock pools, we went, the kids enjoyed it and then in the weeks that followed Ollie got sick. We went to the Dr for his cough and it would clear up a for a week and then it would resurface... this went on for months. Mike also got sick often and lost weight which we just thought it might be work stress. Turns out both Mike and Ollie has Bhalazia! The water was contaminated (even though we were assured it was completely safe) and both Mike and Ollie contracted Bhalazia. Lucky Charley was super small so we stayed away from the water so we are both good....

The funny (or not so funny thing) is that poor Mike got tick bite fever AND broke his toe at the same party and now it turns out he has Bhalazia too – comes in threes they say.

The worst part of this whole thing is that Ollie had to have a blood test, I refused to take him because I would have just cried the whole time so Mike braved it and they managed.

We are just happy that we now know what that problem was and we can fix it.
