This has truly been a weekend filled with ups and downs. Many great moments and some not so great, but then again isn't this what what life is all about, taking the good with the bad. Our Easter weekend started on an up as Mum and Dad arrived on Thursday for the long weekend, I so love having Mum and Dad down to visit. We had a wonderful evening catching up and chatting away.
My wee man unfortunately got really ill during the night and I ended up taking him to the animal hospital at 6 am. I had to leave him there as he had something called Hemorrhagic gastroenteritis. (a really nasty vomit, runny tummy with blood kind of thing).
As there was nothing more I could do for him and he was in the capable hands of Dr Trish, in order to take my mind off Muffin, I took Mum, Dad and Jordy shopping, then we made our way to Monte Casino for lunch after which Mum & Dad went to see "How to train your dragon 3D" whilst Jordy & I went to see "Alice in wonderland 3D" (was so not impressed with it). On the way home I popped in to visit Muffin, who was so glad to see me but absolutely horrified I was going to leave him there, as he clung to me like some kind of monkey, however as he was still really ill they said I would only be able to pick him up on sunday afternoon.
Donna and Jason came round for dinner later on that evening.
We left early on Saturday morning and made our way down to the Vaal Dam, to meet up with our dear friends, Laura and Dean, after some drinks and lunch we made our way onto their boat and went out for a couple of hours on the boat. Grant and Jordy as usual were off on the jet ski, the paddle boats & the tube, whilst Laura and I drank champagne. After a wonderful day with Laura & Dean we had a superb braai (with loads more champers) and chatted till the wee hours. Always so lovely to spend time with them and Mum and Dad had a whale of a time with us.
We had breakfast overlooking the Vaal, then had to leave to come back to Johannesburg, we got to pick up Muffin on the way home, they had sorted the Hemorrhagic gastroenteritis but unfortunately they have picked up an underlying problem (not that they know what it is, his red blood cell count is 78 % and should be between 30 - 40%, so from what I can gather, he hasn't got enough fluid in his blood, so it is sticky, even though the spent 3 days pumping fluids into him, it hasn't made an inkling of a difference), so effectively his blood is sludgy and he is like a time bomb, waiting to go off. Grant and I made the decision to rather bring him home and let him be comfortable where he knows people love him. So he is eating like a king and being spoilt rotten.
We had all the family round for a late lunch on Easter Sunday, I had run around the garden hiding eggs and chocolate marshmallow, hot cross bun looking things, so when everyone arrived I sent them all off to find the eggs, great giggles were had by everyone.
This brings us to today, where Grant just wanted, it to be us, so Jordy and I popped up to the shops for some food, came back, then I made some home made pea & ham soup and some Butternut soup, which we had with lovely fresh french bread and have spent all day watching DVDs, just my kind of day, snuggled up with my hubby.
Till next time
xoxo
