Holidays Fun and Surprises

We've just returned from holidays with some good friends who are also heading at the same time as us with OMF. We were having a great holiday when in the middle of the holiday our eldest son started complaining of pain in his mouth at lunch. We examined his mouth and saw a slight rash in the inside of his lips. When we saw a few spots on his wrist and feet we suspected hand, foot and mouth disease which was confirmed by a visit to the G.P. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is quite common and is considered a mild disease and our son is almost over the illness.
This ended the holiday for our friends to reduce the chance of infecting their children. This was a great shame as our son loved playing with our friend's son who was of a similar age.
It seems that we've been besieged with illnesses in our children in the last couple of weeks. Our eldest has glue ear as well as hand, foot and mouth and our youngest had conjunctivitis last week!

• Please pray for our health, especially for our children as we continue our preparations to go to Thailand.
