BACK FROM PORTUGAL NOW!

Well it was a bit hectic before we went, what with staircases and painting floors etc...so didn't have time to update, and now I've forgotten what on earth happened!!! typical eh. Portugal went well, Steven qualified in a golf championship and therefore got through to the grand final in Portugal. I didn't think we were going to get there at one stage...the day before our flight Steven was sent home from school with a raging temperature and really poorly, I managed to sort that enough when we then had to take him to casualty as he had bent his finger. He had to have it put in a splint and it will be in one for 6-8 weeks, and maybe surgery after that!...So his golf final was looking pretty shaky. Nothing ever goes to plan here, it drives me nuts really, just crisis after crisis. Anyway got to Portugal and nearly had to get Steven into hospital, his temperature was out of control and if I couldn't get it down, he would go into convulsions. Ii wrapped him in wet towels and tried to figure out where I was and who I had to ring if it went pear shaped in the night. I managed to find a private number, so at least I had something. The night was a long one....but Steve wanted to play, so we filled him with paracetamols and put him in a golf buggy. He only jumped out to play him shots, but he managed. One finger strapped and feeling grim he shot his first round. The first of 5. The week went on and we were all poorly but the golf continued. We didn't expect him to win given the situation. But he did...Steve won the grand final...couldn't believe it.....
