"Is it just me, or does anybody see
The new improved tomorrow, isn't what it used to be
Yesterday keeps comin' round, it's just reality
It's the same damn song, with a different melody
The market keeps on crashin, tattered jeans are back in fashion
I tell you one more time with feeling, even though this world is reeling
You're still you and I'm still me, I didn't mean to cause a scene But I guess it's time to roll up our sleeves
The more things change the more they stay the same
The same sunrise, it's just another day"
This was all set to be the most miserable, self pitying post yet. Anyone wandering how jovie got on without the tubes will have to wait for another day, as her breathing was so bad last night we got in this morning to find they weren't even willing to try. With that, depression washes over us in an awesome wave.
A welcome visit for the little mystery from her nanny, auntie Lisa and the schwarzenager-esque mistress nanny to the Wyse family, auntie Kelly aside the day has been filled with a miserable mood and the feeling of limbo which has pretty much taken over our lives. Bickering with each other and an inept nurse hardly helped matters either.
Having said all that, and hence the ripped lyrics above, despite all that, come the end of the day things haven't actually changed much one way or another since yesterday or the day before. A chest scan was clear today ruling out an infection. The current medication has been tweaked and the plan is still to give her a whirl off the system at some point to see how she copes.
In truth tho, what has really cheered us up this evening is our little lady. So determined to make her nurses lives Hell, and so active since her meds she gave her nurse tonight no other choice in the attempt to ensure her wriggling about doesn't dislodge her tubes but to create the worlds first makeshift baby straight jacket. Or as Lorn so delicately put it:
"she looks like E.T!"
Dear Chris and Lorna, so sorry to hear that progress is not as rapid, nor as positive as you would would wish. But the underlying news seems to be good as they slowly eliminate all the major problems she might have had? Let's hope it is just a question of time and that as she grows stronger and gets closer to her expected date of arrival, she will be better able to breathe on her own. We wish you the very best and hope you will enjoy Si and Carolyn's visit tomorrow. Thinking of you and little Jovie, with very best wishes Suzanne and Thierry
