Day +104
Hi there again. Hope you have all had a good day and enjoyed what little good weather you may have had? Ours here has been a real mixture of wetness and dryness…in all combinations!
We have had an ‘in’ day today, with Ella not feeling up to much at all. We started off very well, Ella gave us our breakfast,(cereal) and then she wanted to walk over to the bedsettee, which was fine too. However tummy ache kicked in and the rest of the day was a mixture of medicines and ‘tummy rubs’.
Sally and I filled the day in with housework….the never ending washing and the never ending washing up!
Oh, in between we did manage to watch the Ben Stiller film about the museum ( the 1st one, don’t panic ) and then whilst Ella snoozed this afternoon we watched ‘Step Up’. A very young and handsome leading man caught Sally’s eye…..not as hunky as Patrick S in ‘Dirty Dancing’ though. We watched that yesterday, and we still can’t get the footwork right in the final dance. You know the bit, girls, they all came dancing down the aisle towards the stage? I think Ella must have thought Mummy and Nanna had really lost the plot as we padded up and down the cubicle in our slippers.
Daddy arrived just about tea time, so that was good to cheer Ella up, but she really wasn’t in the mood at all. After the Dr had been to check her out it was decided to give her tummy an Xray. Dr Wynn was just on his way home when all this was going on and of course he came up straight away, when the Reg called him. He agreed an Xray was a good idea for tonight.
We thought at first it would be a ‘procession’,but no, the machine came to us! It’s a comical looking thing….it’s painted like a giraffe, with the crane part the giraffes neck! Sally put the apron on and stayed by Ella’s bed, and the radiographer suggested I should retire to the bathroom….charming!
Things have settled down since then and Ella is more comfortable at the moment. Sally has gone to the cave ,for the early part of the night, and will take over at 4.00am, and Ella and I are burning the mid night oil. She snoozing right now and I am able to write and keep you up to date.
There has been a lot of activity around the hospital again today….with removal firms packing and taking away lotsssssssss of paper work and files. We have noticed other things going missing too….a ‘bust’ of a Victorian gent is missing from the main corridor! Goodness only knows where he has gone to!
We are going to say night night now, and send you lots of love and all our thanks for your prayers and support.
Ella, Sally and Annette.xxx
Hi! Just a quick comment (have to get up early to do this!!) to let you know we think of you all the time and can't wait to see you. We think you are all wonderful especially you, Ella, such a brave girl. Lots and lots of love Clare, Libby, Hannah and Grace xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteHiya folks,
ReplyDeleteJust thought I'd let you know that Ollie and Richie passed their jujitsu grading and they are now proud owners of yellow belts. However, I have a confession to make - It was suggested that we should wash the belts to make them softer so they stay tied more easily during the workouts. So, I washed them because I am a good mummy and do what I am told. I washed them in with the white jujitsu suits because I am a very silly mummy. The suits have turned yellow!!!!! They have been washed in colour run twice, soaked in every single rescue remedy that tesco had on the shelf, but are sadly now looking very sorry for themselves and will never be white again!!!!! Richie said its ok mummy I forgive you!!!!
It will be a sunny weekend and I hope this helps you to all keep cheerful and looking forwards to the summer in the sun! (Although you might have to leave the country to find it!!
Loads of love from Deb and the boys x x x x
Hi Ella, Hope the tummy is feeling better and hopefully the giraffe will show that it's heading in the right direction. We are hoping that the weather over there is improving as well. The sun has been out this evening and we're hoping it stays that way for the rest of the weekend. Ana's new trainers are on display for mufti day tomorrow and have survived in a reasonably clean state. She has decided that she's going for the "Trainer Look" as her dad has just started to run again. It took her 40 minutes to decide tonight what to wear so I don't think she'll be training to hard! She’s got her birthday on Sunday and has 30 friends coming round, so we’re praying that the sun stays and she’s trying to decide what to wear, she could really do with a personal dresser! Hope you get lots of time to get out over the weekend, thinking of you all. Laurie, Ana, Anthony, Clarissa & Co
