Second Night

I had to post this, of all the dogs to come & see Libby; she got a Bernese – made my day even though she was to out of it to really care! Libby wanted me to stay last night as she said Daddy had stayed the night before, I didn’t protest but did point out that I was also there (just left out the fact that I was having a fantastic sleep in the family room!). Mum & Ben left swiftly so that they didn’t have to endure Dave’s driving, I think he was a little offended until I pointed out that I wouldn’t get in the car with him either!! Dave went off quite happily and then continued to text me throughout the evening to tell me about a brilliant Irish bar that he’d found – nothing changes!

 Not a great night’s sleep, amongst other things, one of the monitors kept going off saying she wasn’t breathing! – although this is a fantastic hospital it baffled me that the nurses had no link from the nurse’s station to the monitors and as they kept shutting our door they couldn’t hear a thing and didn’t know so I had to keep getting up and telling them – it only went on for 4 hours, every five or 1o minutes!!! Libby’s nurse for today has just arrived and said if we need anything just press the call button – why wasn’t I told that last night?!?!

Today Libby’s temperature is back to normal and she should be taken off her drips and monitors and hopefully she’ll be awake for a lot more today and things will get better. Libby has just opened a few more cards and presents and I had to get Dave to read the beautiful prayer from her class 4PW as I was too choked – thank you!  It hasn’t been too bad and as Libby is not a complainer we have been fairly lucky – she’s amazing.
