PB has fully recovered and JC is well on the way to recovery from some disease I'd never heard of before. Kids do they - they get all sorts of illnesses with Latin names that could mean anything. Why not call it as it is. For example, "Your daughter has 'high fever with cough and crakiness and a mild dose of sleeplessness'." So much easier to understand than poximelia or whatever they just had.

Now Mrs M are entering that twilight zone where the kids have recovered but before we come down with it. It will happen - it always does. And when it does the kids will be fine and expect to do all their normal activities while their parents struggle for life.

Kids: giving parents strange illnesses for centuries.
