Worries and woes

Week after week went by very quickly, a lot has been happening, the good and the bad but not much involved stitching or rather stitching wasn't strong enough to help put the worries and make the stress go away.My nightmare begins, when Vincent's fever hit 39.5 and shows now sign of subsiding while Diane developed rashes on the 7th day after feeling feverish that subsides by the 3rd day. I rushed both kids to the hospital at 7:15pm. Diane went into observation, Vincent was hospitalized, both for confirmed dengue fever. I hardly slept and the house is seriously looking unkempt ever since. Also, I just got to feel better myself after being ill only so recently before the kids did. Thank god! The only method of treatment with no other medication given to bring the fever down.

Diane was discharges after 6 hours as her condition stabilized but requires daily monitoring at the hospital. It has now been replaced with alternate days. Vincent's condition is yet to stabilized

but looking favourable, hoping tomorrow will be better as I am feeling that he is going into depression.

Now, a bit of a backdated post, which didn't get published before the worries and woes set in. We had 2 birthdays in July. DH's birthday on the last week of July where I baked him a Choc-on-choc cake. A snap of the cake is on Diane's cellphone yet to retrieved while FIL celebrated his 80th birthday with some 80 guests and here are some snaps.

The stitching that I managed to work on before July ends is my Neighbourhood RR where I've completed the last square and was working to fill the gaps in between the houses until I ran out of ideas. Also, one project for an exchange.
