WHAT A BUSY FEW DAYS

SHADES OF INSPIRATION

Well I struggled to find pale blue and brown together in my home.

Some pale blue and brown brads.

Pretty soft pale blue feathers on brown leather – mm… an interesting combination

Thanks to everyone for checking in on Riley. He went to the Doctor again on Monday evening and his ears are clearing but he still has a bit of a cough. All in all he is doing much better.

Monday evening we had Lachlan and Chloe sleepover. In the morning I took them to school and crèche. In the afternoon I picked them up again and they had some fun making cupcakes. Mmmm….. yummy
!

More fun for the Gibbs Family!!! Not really


Yesterday morning super fit Max my hubby left home on his bike at 5.20 am to cycle the 40 something kilometres to work. At 6 am my mobile phone rings showing me Max’s mobile number. When I answered it wasn’t Max but some other guy telling me that Max had had an accident and come off his bike after coming down a steep road (Olivers Hill,Frankston) been unconscious an ambulance was called and to meet him at Frankston Hospital. His bike is wrecked, his helmet wrecked but after xrays etc he was cleared with only deep tissue bruising, grazes etc. Amazing really considereing he was doing about 60 kilometres an hour coming down that hill.The angels were certainly looking out for him yesterday morning.

Just look at that broken and bent bike frame


This morning was another story.vomitting and dizziness had him back in hospital for neck and brain scans. Well it took us 6 hours to find out there was nothing wrong and it was just due to concussion. Oh what a few days!!!

The lovely flowers in the post below were a gift from Riley – well that’s what the card said but I think his Mummy bought them.
They were a Thank You for looking after him when he was sick. How Sweet.

What a phone call to receive! I'm so glad your hubby is doing well-Riley is doing well-and look at those cupcake eating smiles! xo-Mel

Connie said...

I received a similar one many years ago from my son. I later told him to NEVER EVER call me again with the first sentence out of his mouth being, "Mom, have the cops called you yet"! Nuuuuuuuu, they hadn't and he'd been in a motorcycle accident and they had to cut his clothes, boots off of him, sweet allison! He's fine now 20 years later, but I never let him forget it, don't ya know, sweetpea! Hah. BUT I'm thrilled that your hubs is fine; it could have be a disaster! What the heck is he cycling 25 miles to work for anyway?!!?!
Smoocies,
Connie

Oh my goodness!! I think I may have heard about Max on the morning traffic report, the main thing is he's OK, wow what a lucky escape, will he continue to ride to work? or will he not be allowed?
Glad Riley's on the mend, as for the other two scoundrels..... they look so cute, butter wouldn't melt in their mouths
take care Alison, let's hope no new dramas in the Gibbs household for awhile

Oh no, that sounds awful what has happened to Max. I bet you were in a panic when a stranger told you he was in an ambulance. I hope he is feeling better soon and I bet this hasn't deterred him from riding!

Laura said...

You certainly have had your share recently. Glad the little one is on the mend and will hold healing thoughts for the big guy. You got the phone call we all dread. The picture of the cupcake eaters is over the top. The looks on their sweet little faces is priceless. Take care of you in the midst of all of this. Peace and health to all.

Michelle Frae Cummings said...

how nerve wracking! Hope everything clears up and he is feeling right as rain soon!

Kathy said...

Wow, how terrible, I am so sorry for you and he as well. I can't imagne what a phone call like that feels like. But I am glad he is better, and I do hope things settle down for you all soon.

Hi Alison,
How are YOU after that scare?
Too much excitement in your house - what will be next.

I know Oliver's Hill. My dad used to live at the top of it an dwhen her was a little tacker....oh way back in the 40's, he was riding his bike down th ehill and the local bus ran him over. He had massive injuries so is not a fan of Oliver's Hill. I must tell him tomorrow about poor Max.
Hugs,
Kerryanne
