OK, where we are at?I'm out of hospital, have been for a couple of days, but still sick with the flu.
I'm now out of bed to do billing, that's due and overdue - I know this is too late & not good enough, but I'm trying.
Glen has been tirelessly trying to keep up and keep the wheels on.
How did we get here?
9 weeks ago I caught covid and got sick, no surprises there. My sons also got sick, but William didn't recover like he usually does.
Fast forward 2 weeks, I'm starting to get better, William goes downhill. ED visit occurs and he is confirmed to have Type 1 Diabetes.
A flurry of emergency occurs, we are flown to Perth PCH.
We spend a week in PCH, for William's initial recovery.
We return home, only to return weekly for 3 weeks for more education, support and handover.
- Rest was not had, it was intense learning curve.
Focus shifts to getting William ready to go back to school for a week, no small feat.
William returns to school with us shadowing him, as required. approx. 1 week.
Then I, William and Jack caught the flu. Kids are sick but ok, but I get really sick.
I end up in hospital on Friday Arvo 23rd, due to complications with Adrenal Failure (pre existing).
So what now?
Billing and fast. Recovery and fix these issues.
Cool story, How?
I have a couple of tech's lined up already, but the above beat me to it.
Fix the 2+ month hole, push forward with required extra coverage, which we should have already had. Pre book as many vaccinations as possible, never do this again.
Many thanks to Glen for doing everything he can, Brett for providing coverage when you could.
I admit that I haven't prioritised the billing as I should have, prior to this and that I could have done more to avoid the situation.
Hopefully this helps anyone with questions, it's not pretty, but it's the truth.

you are sorely missed, rest in peace my friendThe Grove Distillery’s founder Steven Hughes, much loved husband, dad, grandad, brother, uncle and friend passed away peacefully this evening.He established The Grove in 1995 and it, along with his family and Peppi the dog was his pride and joy.
While the best way to honour Steve is with a packed bar and some wildly inappropriate jokes, the family will respectfully close the venue this weekend to have some time and space to nurture our broken hearts.
We know so many of you will be honouring Steve with a glass of some of The Grove’s finest and we look forward to seeing you all again soon.
Love Val, Bec, Nik, Peppi and family.

Hey I'm back, sorry for all the delays, life (work / personal) has been very hard to navigate lately, but its getting better.I'll be trying to catch up on the business, the inner workings have essentially been on hold, which wasn't ideal but I didn't really have a choice.
William is doing ok and he is improving.
I'm not going anywhere, see you all soon
