Happy 6th Birthday to the most beautiful Tova in our world! Nissim wrote Tova on her birthday card and Nissim in the 'from' bit. So cute!
Tova slept in until about 9.30am recovering/still being sick. We spent Thursday night in hospital from about 3-4am till close to mid day. Tova didn't sleep. I slept for about an hour when they moved us into short stay! I don't mind short stay so much, in comparison. And this time they didn't take forever to move us from the critical bay around to short stay, so that was good.
There were 3 adults in peads, it must have been a busy night in emergency, I've never seen that before.
It really bugs me that the Monash Children's doesn't have toilets child size or any portable seat for a little child to use the toilets, they don't have appropriate beds for children that can fall out of beds and are too old/big for cots, and the cots don't adjust their height anyway, so even if I did put Tova in a cot, she could climb out and fall quite a distance to the floor. They also don't have food appropriate for someone that doesn't chew. These are small things, but really strange. It means that I can't go to the toilet, as I can't leave Tova who doesn't sleep because drugged up on uppers, she would either fall out of the bed or climb out and crawl around on the revolting floor, she can't/ won't use the toilets because she will be scared to fall in.
I think the new city hospital has all those things, and they even have child minding for siblings if need be. I be they even have staff that sit with your child for a moment so mum/ dad can go to the toilet etc.. oh well. Monash is walking distance from our home, so it is convenient.
When the ambos came to the house in Thursday night/ Friday morning, they took one look and listen at Tova and said "um, I think we should just go NOW".. off we went.
When we were discharged Nissim came home as Grandpa, who usually has him on Friday's was sick. Poor Nissim. I was tired and stressed, Tova was sick and lethargic. So I dragged us off to the cinema to watch a big Tv rather than the small TV at home. We went to see Epic, fail! We left before the end. Nissim can't handle any loud noise and Tova had a head ache, so some of the loud noises made her cry. Oh, not to mention it is a B O R I N G movie even to them.
The other day I took Tova to Despicable Me 2! That was fantastic, we both loved it.
When Tova woke up this morning Nissim and I sang her happy birthday, she loved it. We opened all her Presents. Everything Little Mermaid! Her favorite. We still have to get her a few Despicable Me toys. She then spent the day being miserable and crying, resting and watching TV. What a let down of a birthday.
The grand mothers came over with a cake this afternoon. We all had cake for dinner.
I'm feeling pretty miserable, pretty sure that Nissim is feeling pretty misery guts too. We didn't have such a great day. Poor Tova.. BUT Happy birthday princess!
Princess Tova slept in until about 9.30am because she isn't well, but at least she is home.
