Ellie had a very bad night again. She insisted on sleeping with Nana, so I was relegated to Ellie's room. I could hear her fidgeting and muttering in her sleep. She was also coughing and waking herself up. Diane, in full nurse mode, coped with it all and provided both comfort and medication as it was required. It was 10:00 this morning before Ellie emerged, but she seemed a bit brighter and had some bounce in her step.
I was up soon after 07:15 and had a coffee while reading the paper and waiting for the sounds of activity from upstairs. Di came down soon after 08:00, and we sat quietly with our morning reading until I had to sneak upstairs and get washed and dressed. I was due at the dentist, and it would be frowned upon if I arrived in my PJs.
I checked with the online app, and it seemed that the buses were running late. I decided to take the car and whizzed through to Chichester in no time. The dentist (as always) was about 10 minutes late in calling me through. She gave me a good once-over and declared all was fine. The next appointment is scheduled for 6 months.
Ellie was playing quietly (though she did rope Nana in for a game of chess!), and I spent some time finishing my latest book. Zoe arrived and collected Ellie, though she will be back again to sleep here overnight.
