Good morning to all. herewith the weekly update, there is not enough happening to justify a daily blog. Cara is about to finish her first week of school and it went ok, also it was a short week with independence day, a swimming gala on thursday and the teachers generally not giving her too much homework so that she can adjust to the pace once again. next week she will be able to return to boarding school and she is very much looking forward to being able to spend time with her roommates. Her schoolbag still needs to be carried by someone else as it is too much weight on the sternum, and she is not allowed to participate in sport yet, but other than that she should be able to cope with the weekly school routine. we had another check-up with the cardiothrorasic surgeon on tuesday and her lungs are clear, so the effusion will not come back and she is allowed to follow a NORMAL diet. yipee!!! at last!!! so we had to organise a pizza for her, smoked viennas, and just tasty, fat containing food for her and she is eating lots. she does suffer from allergies right now and is on medication and that has led to a persistent dry cough which we struggle to contain, also at night now. she is also very demanding and she needs skills to cope with the trauma and the situation in general. time will heal lots of things too...
we have crossed the 1000 mm rainmark here on the farm and managed to have more vehicles stuck in the field, including the cattle truck on our farm entrance road. what a year, this must certainly be the record year rainwise in the history on this farm. it is about to start raining again....
we are trying to post a current picture of the madam ( another nickname for bobbies ) on the blog but currently she does not want to be on a camera. we wish you all a wonderful weekend!
