Day +97
Where is everyone? Have you all gone on holiday? We are feeling rather cut off over here from all your news…..
Anyway, back to ours. We had a super night, with Ella having a good sleep for quite a lot of it. We needed to be ready for Ella going back to Xray about 8.30, so Sally was up and showered etc. We got the call, off they went, only to be turned back….the Dr wasn’t there. We waited and waited, with Ella sat in her buggy, propped up with pillows, for ages. In the end we gave up and put her back to bed. Of course the inevitable happened! A Dr arrived in the here and another arrived at Xray…all at the same time. We did go to Xray, but there has not been any feed back yet. Dr Wynn has been a missing link for a couple of days. We are hoping to see him today. We know he oversees everything, but it’s not the same somehow is it?
Physio came along to make an appointment for 3.00pm and to say that the chariot will be ready in a couple of days! We didn’t get to the gym actually….Ella had a tummy moment…but we did keep going by making and baking! Actually we ‘maked and baked’ 105 ginger bread ‘thingies’.
Why 105? Because we had the good idea that if we doubled up the ingredients we would have enough to share around….we do….around the whole hospital!!!
Why ‘thingies’? Because they range from thin and very crispy(burnt) to thick and not crispy.
As you can see from the photos Ella was saving her nails whilst Sally glued herself to the mixture. They taste very nice anyway…only another 87 to go!
What else did we do? Oh yes we watched Mamma Mia, and did some housework. The dish washer on the unit has conked out now. Any washing up needs to go into the dishwasher to be sterilized, but of course that can’t happen now, so we have to just dry our pots and put them away. I’m thinking of becoming a professional pot washer…..everytime I go into the kitchen there is a stack of dishes in there already, to wash. (We have got some new parents up here and I don’t think they have got the hang of it yet.)
To round our day off Daddy came along for a couple of hours at teatime. He brought all the bits and pieces for meaty wraps and salad baps etc, so Ella had a last making session before settling down for the evening.
The ‘Soap Awards’ are on at the moment and Ella is beginning to settle more. The new lamp is on and changing colour beautifully, and all is well. We are expecting Auntie Rachael tomorrow, so we need to be organised early again. I wonder if the sewing machine will arrive once more?
We send everyone lots of love and as usual our thanks for all your support and prayers.
Night night,
Ella, Sally and Annette.xxx
PS Simon is running on Sunday, I need to find out the route etc. There maybe an opportunity for Ella to go down and watch him….who knows?

Hi gang - Just testing to see if I can leave this short message to let you know I am trying to master this Blog business - I'll click 'post comment' and see what happens! Hold on x x x
ReplyDeleteYipperrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeee it worked - right, that's it I'm here now! Ollie and Richie are fast asleep, Gordon has gone to the dogs (work that one out!) and I am chilling infront of the TV. Well, sounds like you are all keeping busy and keeping the staff on their toes! I would start giving orders to Rach for your summer wardrobes if I were you - I think there could be a business in the making before too long - you could set yourselves up as creative designers and send back your designs to the worker in the sweat shop!!!!
ReplyDeleteTake care everyone, I will keep in touch! Lots of hugs, Love Debs, Gordon, Ollie and Richie
Hi Ella Bella, sorry haven't written on your blog for a couple of days but I have been following your progress.loulou bunny has stopped her antibiotics & only needed bathing last night instead of twice a day, she fell asleep wrapped up in a big fluffy towel on my knee;& as nick was on the computer for ages doing homework for his teaching course which he's hating but is doing ok I fell asleep cuddling her. but this morning when i went to open the garage door as soon as she spoted me she ran back in her house so it's a good job I don't need to give her any more medication as I'd never catch her..it is absolutely bucketing down here so the cats & Loulou bunny won't be venturing out but while I've been sat here writting I can see bumpy & another doggy; is that his friend, poor Ian will have a lot of mopping to do as they look very,very wet even tho they are both having a good shake they will still be wet......lokking at the photo's this morning it looks like you & mummy are going into the bakery trade there looking very serious while mixing something but I'm not sure I can tell what it is yet... who get to eat it after its been so lovingly prepared; is that mummy's & nana's treat for the day with a nice cup of tea. UMMMM yummy. I think!!!!!well I hope its not to dark & miserable there today, even if your not planning on going outside its still nice to look at sunshine or even just dry weather. are you off to the gym today? it will get easier for you but slowly & you'll be suprised what you end up being able to do. sending you huge rainbow wishes & huge fairy kisses love Sallyanne, Nick & a recovering loulou Bunny X X X X X X
ReplyDeleteHi folks, that's a fine old mess you've gotten yourself into Sally! You need to take charge Ella! Well, our big news is that we might have the patter of tiny paws again soon..we are going to look at a 2 week old puppy tonight and even David's heart will melt when he sees her! She is so tiny, smaller than my hand and so cute..fingers crossed! Not a lot else going on here that's very exciting. Em is in a swimming gala on Sunday in Blackburn and she has just done the last of her SAT's today so she will be a happy girl tonight, no more of me nagging her to revise!! June saw Grace in school the other day, or rather Grace recognised June from her picture on the blog, and she was saying to June how much she misses you Ella and can't wait for you to come back to school! June said she seemed like a very lovely little girl and a very good best friend!
ReplyDeleteYou all take care and keep working hard in physio,
