Days 223,224 (Thurs and Frid 17th,18th Sept)
Hello again from us here. I’ve decided to do a double whammy tonight and include our news from both days. Actually I was really tired last night and fell asleep quite early. It was perhaps a good job, because after that we had a very wakeful night indeed, with Ella having the snuffles and earache.
Yesterday though we had a trip out to find ‘the other’ coffee shop. Andrea took us and Amy ( another little girl on the unit). Amy has been that way before with her Dad, so she was able to show us the route. I think that was just about the most exciting thing for yesterday. We were too late for physio because Ella was very sleepy, and when her teacher came Ella had a very short lesson……..more zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz’s.
Today has followed much the same pattern, with Ella tired and full of cold. She has kept me very busy, in between sleeps, but I did get a short break when Linda arrived to be with us for an hour or so. I took the opportunity to go down to the coffee shop. Ella trusts Linda now, so it is fine to leave her for a short while. When I got back we washed her and got her up, and who should walk in…..Reg. He brought Ella some more Sylvanian family, so that made a welcome distraction.
It wasn’t long before Liz ( teacher) arrived and Ella joined in her literacy lesson. She didn’t really want to ( Ella that is) but we got there in the end. The same thing happened today as well. We just have to work around all the reasons Ella gives, as to why she can’t join in, and give masses of praise when she does.
We had a visit from the ENT Dr today, who came to look at Ella’s ear. When he came back later to check on her he had a bar of chocolate in his pocket for her. She was asleep and missed the moment, but I thought how kind that was to remember her?
At the moment I’m watching ‘Strictly’ and writing to you….Ella is asleep, so it seems a good time to take a few minutes out.
Night night and lots of love to everyone. We send all our usual thanks for your support and loving prayers.

Sorry to hear that you have a sore ear Ella. That must be really painful.
ReplyDeleteI've just been reading about Nana and the fine tooth comb and now I'm scratching! We had a very similar episode a couple of weeks ago so I know how it feels- 'orrible!
Our puppy is being really rascally at the moment so I'm taking her on long walks to try to tire her out, but she's still running around and I'm ready for my bed.
Nite, nite. love June and Heather.xxx
Hi guy's we have just returned from the IT void. We've fixed the computer! We're slowly trying to catch up on your news Ella and hope the ears better soon, glad to hear the Butterfly is Fluttering away. Nana as for the fine tooth comb, sign of a close family, one that shares everything especially lots of cuddles. I've had to do it several times and usually find more "Visitors" in my hair than any body else's!I'm an expert now any questions feel free!
