I do love the way you write.<br /><br /><br />When swine flu first hit our shores I must admit it was very worrying but since then quite a few people I know have had it and it seems to have swept through their life with barely a ripple. I don't even hear it mentioned much anymore but I do feel your concern for your little men especially Ben with his asthma. That's worrying enough on it's own. Both of mine were on ventilators from 18 months old and it breaks your heart to hear their little chests rattling and wheezing.<br /><br /><br />In spite of my mirth (sorry) I do hope you all escape it's clutches and that you get over whatever you've got very soon.Savannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05185485331789471194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-65619225199693278322009-10-24T15:25:54.299+02:002009-10-24T15:25:54.299+02:00Löst Jimmy: I am indeed in Unison and have been a ...Löst Jimmy: I am indeed in Unison and have been a Unison man for a good ten years (for all the good it's done me).<br /><br />Valerie: there are indeed - and worse things around beside.
