Thursday week 8Hi everyone,we now know why I have been feeling worse and worse, even after starting the cmv anti viral treatment. I have unfortunately (but not surprisingly) caught influenza B, most probably from the kids.

The doctor is retesting the cmv levels, and also for the other viral infections ie hepatitis and ebv (glandular fever), but feels it is just the flu!As such, I just have to tough it out, hopefully for not too long although it took the girls a week each to get over it, and they were healthy to start with!

I should have been more symapthetic towards them, except I was not well either. Now I know how they felt, no wonder Steffi was so crabby on camp!Anyway, hopefully with the start of school holidays tomorrow, things will improve.

Love Penny T
