CCO Concert

Next week I'll be spending Wednesday through to Sunday in Canberra rehearsing with the Canberra Concerto Orchestra. I am playing as First Flute in the orchestra for this concert, which looks like it's going to be really exciting if Classical music is your thing. We're playing two amazing pieces by Dvorak. So if you happen to be in Canberra next Sunday afternoon and you enjoy Classical music, I can assure you this concert will definitely be worth going to. If you let me know before Tuesday, I can book cheaper tickets for friends. 


In other news, Caleb is fine now, but has been diagnosed with epilepsy, so is likely to have more seizures any time in the next month or so when the medication will begin to have an effect. Fortunately these fits aren't harmful unless they last more than a few minutes. The problem is that it takes 10-15 minutes for the ambulance to arrive, so it's difficult knowing whether or not to dial 000 when he's having a fit. The last fit he had was on Saturday morning and that wasn't too bad, lasting less than a minute or so. By the time the ambulance arrived he was actually alert enough to answer questions, which has never happened after any of the other seizures. So hopefully the seizures will be less serious now. Please keep praying for his safety over the this next month, and also for all of us, especially Mum, to be able to cope with all the extra attention he now needs.

It's school holidays!!! Or I guess if you live in ACT then your holidays start tomorrow. We have a surprisingly quiet schedule for these holidays. It will be great to just have a big long rest for two weeks and spend time with friends and family in between. What are you doing in the holidays?
