Life
Ηη made it as far as Forest School on Tuesday (accompanied by Σσ volunteering) before we concluded he still wasn’t well enough to be at school. He also wasn’t quite poorly enough for me and Σσ to be able to get any work done.
We took the Thursday off work to celebrate Αα’s birthday and we spent it sitting on the sofa with her sweating, coughing, wheezing, and crying. I’d made the mistake of thinking she was going to be able to dodge whatever it was.
It was about this time last year that Αα had to go into hospital with a non-specific respiratory problem and at various points over the weekend it felt like things might be headed in that direction again. Thankfully they didn’t, and I really hope they don’t.
Uncle Rich came to visit on Saturday when we’d planned to have a party for Αα and a few of her pals. We cancelled the party because she was at her lowest ebb, but at least Rich and Ηη got some quality time to hang out (even if Ηη was on the edge of a meltdown about anything and everything for the duration).
We briefly went to a friend’s Pongal on Sunday afternoon, but Ηη’s (continued) bad energy meant we had to pull the rip-cord quite early, which was a shame. Possibly our fault for not insisting he had some lunch beforehand. Then Em came to see us for a couple of hours because he’d been at a 40th the night before. He has been, as he described it, ‘California sober’, for six months, and he seems very good on it. Aspects of his personal life still seem like a bit of a toxic mess, but he seems to be dealing with it as well as I imagine anyone could. He certainly seems to be doing much better than I feared – I think I’d been a bit anxious about him coming over because of how the last time we saw him (at his own 40th) we’d left feeling sad and angry about his situation, and guilty that we weren’t helping.
Aila keeps on having to have operations to put her tubes back in because they’re getting dislodged every couple of days. It doesn’t seem particularly sustainable, but at least when she’s not groggy from all the general anaesthetic she seems ok.
