Day 232 (Sat 26th Sept)
Welcome back. Just a very short update I think. It is now 5.00am on Sunday morning and I am sat in the peace and quiet of Ella’s room, thinking. Watch out!
We had a good day yesterday….not very exciting really….but a good day. Lots of positives. Ella eventually ‘got up’ and had a very short wash, just in time for Daddy’s friend, Stuart, to arrive. He brought some letters for Ella, from his little boys….lovely.
We couldn’t go out, unfortunately, because of lack of staff, so they day did seem longer. We had a visit from the physio though, and she was very pleased with Ella….who managed to suck and blow on her inhaler ‘thingy’.
Daddy left for home…a few tears all round of course. He has had a longer stay this time and Ella has got used to being a ‘Daddy’s girl’ again. We coped though and waited for Mummy to arrive. We had a VERY long wait. Poor Sally had a nightmare experience coming back on the train and ended up getting a taxi back from Salford Crescent Station ( where ever that is ) because she couldn’t get on the train. Anyway, she was safe….that’s the main thing. In the meantime Ella and I ( well me really) watched ‘Strictly’ in peace. We are saving X Factor for Sunday afternoon….when we are all awake to enjoy it!!
I’m going to finish now except to tell you about a lovely pressy I was given yesterday. A really unusual pressy….half a cooked chicken. Nicola ( our next door neighbour and dorm sharing friend) had a visit from her inlaws and they brought the chicken with them. They had too much and shared it with me. It was divine!!!!!! I shared it with Sally, of course, although she was in danger of loosing it…..another few minutes in that taxi and it would have been gone.
Night night from us all here and thanks for your loving thoughts and prayers, as usual.
Ella, Sally and Annette.xxx
PS Any ideas about using left over chicken bones in the microwave?x
