Mothers latest adventure - crossing Manila floods

sportsfest and injuries

Whilst we had a great time in Bohol our fun ended rather abruptly on the Friday night about 10.30pm when Mum fell on some steps. She was initially treated in the local Hospital in Taglibaran and then in the Chinese Hospital in Manila. Her leg required 12 stitches and was complicated by an infection that required intravenous antibiotics. The insurance have covered the delay of her flight and she is now back at the house in QC. We now hope she will be well enough to do some of the trips planned for last week ,although modified for her restricted mobility, so at least she returns home with some positive memories from Manila and the surrounding area. For now she is just glad to get away from the hospital diet of fried fish and rice three times a day!

On Saturday was Giannas sports fest which was great fun. All the classes had a colour theme which parents and supporters had to follow too. This is not the whole school just year four! We had much pomp and ceremony including the oath of sportsmanship and lighting of the Olympic torch ( presumably on its way to Beijing???)
