Tonsillitis and trampolines

Poor Mr E has been sick for the last few days. I'm in the midst of tidying my crazy study and rethinking my market strategy. Sadly most of the interest looking markets around are on Sundays which is just not an option...

Anyway back to Elijah, he's had a horrible case of tonsillitis which presented as gastro. Boy am I glad that I'm not a doctor. I just don't get how you can have tonsillitis and no sore throat. Anyway, Praise God for access to doctors, affordable medicine and clean water!

He is making a speedy recovery and even asked for chocolate today. I was so excited that I gave him some.

He explained that the whole problem came from having trampolines in his tummy. They were the extra springy sort and so whenever he tried to eat or drink something it all came bouncing back out of his mouth. This morning he announced that the trampolines had gone. I made the mistake of asking where.... well where do things go that have been in the stomach....

Toby always used to throw up with tonsillitis too. I am saying 'used' because I am trying to convince myself that he is too old to get tonsillitis now.
