We now have a team of 6 with us and they are doing a wonderful job. John has been digging, making fences and attempting to bring sense to the finances. Carol is stationed in the medical centre as she has taken over from Rosie for a month while Rosie is in the UK. Karen and Andrea are doing great stuff in training the Carers in interaction and play.
The staff training sessions mean that Debbie, Beth and Sue are left literally holding the babies!
Here the staff are putting their training into practice with hilarious results.
Sunday afternoon ended with a sing-a-long. We will now endlessly have to endure Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes sung to the tune of London's Bridge is Falling Down! It doesn't matter how often you sing it with them the right way, they revert back. It has the potential for being very irritating!!
We were concerned we might have had one of our children developing mumps this week. This could have been dreadful as none of the babies are immunised against it. As a precaution, Eva was isolated immediately and although she has big swellings on either side of her neck, they have not developed further.
Ivan is still very ill. His skin is peeling off and although he is taking milk he is refusing food. Yesterday I smeared some marmite on his lips which he did eventually lick off. At least a few vitamins went in. He is tolerating the goat's milk which is a relief but the goat is not really producing enough milk. Ivan's face and limbs are still very swollen so he has a long way to go before being on the road to recovery.
