#165 Saturday 5 February 2011

It's been a 2:30am start to the day .... a call from the hospital to say "It's time to come" .... at 11am, the waiting goes on.

Kaylia managed to saturate two beds last night ..... that must be some sort of record!

Kaylia, Zoe & I are now at the lake for Jana's birthday party .... lots of balloons on a very windy day! The windy conditions make swimming hard work .... unless you're Kaylia! With her swimming technique the wind doesn't bother her as she spends most of the time underwater. At the lake she swims a long way from the shore ... the water is deep so I follow close by in the inflatable dinghy. This gives her something to rest on if needed. She rarely needs help as she is very good at floating on her back and resting in the water .... she often does this.

For those of you old enough to remember the 8mm home movie camera, here's a glimpse of the lake the way we saw things in my childhood!




Later:
It's now 6pm .... the day at the hospital has been hard for Naomi and her family. Her Mum is now in palliative care ... and as an ironic twist, her father has also been admitted and is two floors above.

Kaylia came home from the lake ..... and spent most of the afternoon in the "hot bubble bath"!! Today she has learned to turn on the taps to run the bath herself! This poses a new issue for us ... something we need to watch for.
