Day 207 ( Sept 1st Tues )
Hi, we are here again, ready to tell our latest news from Manchester. Hope you all had a really fab long weekend and that work wasn’t too much of a shock!!
As you know Daddy has been here for a couple of nights, followed by Sally on Sunday and Monday and now I’ve arrived back until the end of the week. Honestly, I just don’t know how the weeks fly by without us even noticing sometimes.
I know that Ella has had a comfortable weekend. She has been quietly watching films (on the new TV screen) and Daddy brought the Wii back, but unfortunately he couldn’t get it tuned in….so there was no sound or colour on the games. Mummy tried too, with no luck, so I don’t think I’ll be any better, do you? In herself Ella has been a lot more cheerful of late, but she still has the rash from last week, so she has restarted one of the anti-rejection drugs to see if that will sort the problem out.
I’ve put some snaps on for you to enjoy. The first 2 are from last week actually, when Ella went along to work with the OT in their d’part. She really enjoyed it and was looking forward sooooo much to going again today, to make cheesecake. Of course there was a change of plan, things are never that straight forward are they, and Joanne ended up coming in here to make cornflake cakes instead. Ella was disappointed to begin with, but Sam was here too and that eased the situation a lot. They had a super time together….Ella being the real big sister. I would love to put captions to the photos, but I guess you can add your own, the looks on their faces say it all don’t they?
I’m hoping the teachers start again very soon. Ella is ready for some really positive distractions now. There are only so many times you can make cakes!!
Sally and Sam left just before teatime and now it is just after 9.00pm. Ella is fast asleep and I’m going to go along shortly to buy a cuppa and then settle down for some sleep…..I hope. So we will speak tomorrow and let you know how we coped with all Weds adventures!!
Nite nite and lots of love to everyone. Thankyou for your loving prayers and support, as always.
