Apart from birthday posts, I am afraid that I have not been around a great deal. My eldest daughter in Johannesburg has not been well. She ended up spending a week in hospital and given every test imaginable, including, MRI, brain scans, lumber puncture, liver function - the list goes on. Unfortunately the lumber puncture had a dreadful effect on her. The headaches were so bad she could not even stand. My SIL just could not manage getting the twins back and forth to school and trying to work as well. I received a phone call and flew the next day to Johannesburg. I had such a shock when I saw my daughter - she had aged about 20 years. I was there for a week looking after her and collecting the twins from their different schools. I came home on Sunday. Charlotte is so much better but is having this week off work to sort her life out.
