All is not so well in the house. Gabbie has got rubella, probably caught from the MMR jab she had (although the doctor says it has been going round recently). She had a dreadful Saturday night, really restless and unable to sleep. And on Sunday, the rash really came out and my wife took her to the hospital (on Sunday night the duty doctor is at the hospital). They took one look and said “classic Rubella” and home they came. We are on pregnent lady avoidance watch now.
On top of that, Jeannie has a stomach bug/ache/something wrong and is off school as well. First visit to the Doctor’s is inconculsive and a sample is required. She has not been sick and is still eating so we don’t know what is wrong.
Ryan, on the other hand is fine and had a very busy weekend. Firstly, a party on Saturday morning, followed by a boxing match, sorry handbags at football in the afternoon. Sunday morning was swimming and then Flushed Away, a film right up his street.
Sorry to hear about the rubella etc illnesses.
On the other hand, Flushed Away is excellent, isn’t it?
Great film, aimed at 4 year olds of all ages
I’m one of a large number of people opposed to MMR vacinations. Any vacination triggers an immune response (otherwise, they don’t work). As such, it is normal to be tired at best and ill at worst after an injection. To give 3 at the same time (as is the case of MMR) is simply too much. In the UK, this has been linked to a number of serious illnesses. Of course, it is much more convienent to have one vacination than to have 3, each a week or more apart. However, I think it is dreadful that parents aren’t given more choice in this respect. After all, it is OUR children’s health.
