Illness Prevails

Everyone’s ill 🙁 I had 2 days off work last week, the kids have mucked in and the wife now has become a multicoloured organic fountain and is redecorating the en-suite as I type. And now a text from the Sister confirms my Mum is now blowing chunks. Luckily though, it now appears the tide is receding and life is taking on a more solid state. Ava on the other hand has been to Great Ormond Street Hospital and had a colonoscopy among a plethora of other tests and it seems her intestines are badly inflamed. There are ways through this requiring a little debate and agreement on all sides (Mother, Father, Dietician, Consultant) that may involve removing egg from her diet that we recently introduced and/or returning her to an elemental diet (formula only) periodically to help her repair before re-introducing food (without egg).
For some unknown reason there can be no communication between myself and the wife about this, I’ve tried to understand why but I can’t. She appears to believe anything I suggest is in conflict with Avas’ interests which is of course, absurd. All I can think is that I am grossly misunderstood and therefore completely disregarded when it comes to decisions regarding her health, I find this difficult as I believe I have a well balanced and non biased approach to most things and can make good choices when given the challenge, but I don’t get the chance.
All I can do for now though is wait for the biopsy/blood results and move forward, one can only hope the results highlight something that can be easily treated and we can return our little girl to normal and find a way to easily manage this disabling condition.
