Day +222 ( Weds Sept 16th)
Hi. Here we are again on Weds evening. Sally and I have had our change over day and she is safely home in Southport. I know from what she has told me that Ella has had good days since I left last Saturday. I also know that she has made the most delicious cheese cake, with Sally and the OT,s. It is very professional looking and tastes fab too.
The last few days in Southport have been very busy…..I’ve been staying at Rachael’s to help her out. It’s hectic all the time with four little ones. It’s hectic even when they’re all out at school or nursery! But today really took the biscuit. I hardly know where to begin, except to say that a fine toothed comb was involved and all of us had to be done!! It was a relief to be back in Manchester, for a little peace and quiet. ( in 30yrs of being a Mum, and even longer of being a teacher, I have never been so flabbergahasted! To add insult to injury the Hotpoint man arrived in the middle of the mayhem. Oh misery…..).
Anyway, back to Ella. We have spent a few happy hours watching TV….The Hairy Bikers and Masterchef and now we are both tired out. Ella has been asleep for quite a while actually and I’m just about ready to lie down. I’m full of cheesecake and tea, so I think I should stop right now before another slice slides down.
I know that Ella has had a really quiet day today, she hasn’t felt up to joining in. I think an increase in certain medications has knocked her out. So fingers crossed that she will be back on form tomorrow, and ready to enjoy everything that’s planned for her.
Night night from both of us here. We send you all lots of love and thanks, as usual, for your loving support and prayers.
Ella and Annette.xx
