15 August 2010

Emily slept until 7.30, only waking once in the night. She came into bed with us but was in lot of pain and crying, so I decided to get up. I gave her some Calpol but she was still very upset. She did not want to walk on her own but cried when I picked her up. As she said 'no' to every suggestion we felt very frustrated and fed up.

With Pam and Graham we took her to South Park in Macclesfield, as we thought she would like to feed the ducks, but she got increasingly upset and was crying loudly and uncontrollably. The ducks did not want bread anyway due to a surfeit of cheap white loaf already floating on the surface. The playground was closed but she would not have been able to use it in any case, with only one arm, so we went home. She was giving in to sleep on the way back and I took her straight to bed. She slept two and half hours, me too for the final hour. Gail and Dave arrived while she slumbered and they all went to the Legh Arms for lunch while I stayed with Emily. Once awake, she perked up after some late lunch and a dose of medicine kicked in, then played quite happily in the garden for the rest of afternoon, though her left arm was hanging limply at her side.
