hi debs
sorry to hear your little un was too poorly to fly - as you say health is more important. The advice about using a steam inhalation is excellent - a couple of doctors on our ward advised me to use them to clear my cold and sinusitis and it worked a treat! much better than drugs!!!
hope all goes well for tuesday...

So sorry you're little one is not well. I have a litle one and there really is nothing worse (i don't think) than kiddies being poorly. Don't know youre whole story i'm new to this site and just having a look around. We are planning to emmigrate to NZ in the next year. Hope all goes well for you and your family in the future.

Hi there.
I am still here
I could not fly today as my daughter was unwell. She did seem to have become better, then at around 6pm last night she had very high temp that would not go down. I had to call to the doctor out who said that we would not be able to fly as she had severe dose of the flu, and we were due to leave at 04.00 so there was no way we would be ableto go. It is now 08.00 and she still has a high temp depsite giving loads of medicine.
I called Singapore Airlines in Sydney as everywhere else was closed and the girl I spoke to was really helpful and she is trying to get us on the flight for tuesday. I will speak to the local singapore airlines office when it opens at 09.00 here.
We are very dissapointed as we had been looking forward to going for months and as we are validating out time there was limited anyway.
Anyway, will let you know what happens. Just hoping that my youngest (7) doesnt go down with it before tuesday now.
regards
Debs
