This morning started a tad earlier than I prefer, at 4.30am. Finally persuaded Rusk to go back to sleep and we then only just got up in time to go to the hospital for a scan. This is following up the infection he had a few weeks back that they only found by chance when we had been referred to hospital for something completely different. The something completely different is now fine, but the aftermath of the infection will drag on until a check-up in late December. Still, can't complain - the hospital appointment took less time than they had warned and everything looks fine. The radiologist confirmed that Rusk does indeed have two kidneys. Excellent. We really have come out of all this very lightly. I know so many people with very, very sick babies. Horrible though it was at the time going to hospital, at least it was a one-off and we don't have to go there every week.
I'm now resting for a couple of hours before going in to do my shift at nursery. I think 3 hours with a bunch of under 2s is a good way of testing how recovered I am.
