Our group in the lodge this year changed a little and changed more the closer to our holiday. We booked 20 out of the 24 beds - our family of four; Al, Rob and their 3 children; Susie, Patrick and their 2 children; Em, Tom and their 2 children plus Cath, Eoin and Aoife. Unfortunately Cath fractured her tibia overseas 4 weeks before the trip so her family pulled out. Mia decided she couldn't miss school so Patrick and Susie came up for half a week each to ski with Josh.
Monday dawned another blue bird day - we all headed out for various adventures. There were many groups going in different directions and speeds. Andy, Rob and most of the kids were off! Al kindly hung back with me and we did our own thing while in the general vicinity of the others.
By mid morning it was time for a coffee break so we headed over to mid station. Wile we were there various children joined us and as we were about to leave we got word that Katy was feeling sick. This was not surprising - I had taken her to the GP only a few days early thinking she had symptoms of tonsillitis. The GP confirmed that was not the case and more likely a virus. Mira brought Katy to mid station and I skied home with her. We couldn't ski all the way to the lodge though :(
It was later that afternoon that I got word that Katy had tested negative for covid but positive for influenza A! No wonder she was feeling sick. Katy spent the rest of the afternoon sleeping.
