O for Oxygen

I've covered 87k since my last post - the birth year of my ED. She got her 1st year Communications Degree results back this week: 2 passes and two credits. Good news. My son got his School Certificate results too - 1 x band 4, 4 x band 5, 1 x band 6. That is excellent, and unexpected. He was delighted, and wasted no time in pressuring ex-Mrs BB for an upgraded Ipod for Christmas. I think he'll do well in the business world.



Mrs BB spent two days last week in Emergency at Westmead Hospital with Acute Epiglottitis. For you laymen, this meant she couldn't breathe and required oxygen mask, steroids, antibiotics and a gaggle of attendants. Pretty scary, and our house was thrown into turmoil, but thankfully she is now okay but shaken. I enjoyed the role of Mr Mom for a few days but don't know where the time went. I couldn't do it AND hold down a job too, like many women...



I've done some long runs and short runs, keeping the goal in sight but really, I've been more concerned over her health and recovery. It freaked us all out that a viral/bacterial combination could wreak such havoc in five hours. At least her fitness and general health enabled her to swiftly respond to the excellent treatment. She has resumed walking in the mornings, and - most importantly - her positive approach.



Still, Christmas is coming and that's good news for most of us. If I don't post beforehand, Merry Christmas to everyone and a very Happy, Healthy and satisfying 2007 from the BB's...
