This is how we roll



Segev has very poor lung function. After having attended to Segev for 48 hours, sleeping altogether 8 hours, I rested for one hour and set off to do a series of six house calls, covering 300 kms of driving. Segev's mum "was feeling better" and so I let him sleep the night there. The call  to rush over in the early hours, from my eldest, was expected. Next time and every time I will listen exclusively to my intuition as it has yet to fail me.
Every day it all gets written down. Here is yesterday and this morning:
