Adventures with Daddy0
I’ve gone away a few times for classes over the past year. But when I did, Grammy always came over to help with Miss D and give daddy a little bit of relief.
Unfortunately Grammy was unavailable this week when I went away overnight for work (sorta). I left around 6:45am on Thu and got back a bit before 8pm on Friday. Now, we did have a nurse who showed up on Thu night, but that’s still some very long days with Miss D.
It sounds as though things went pretty smoothly, however. Dorrie slept in on Thu, managed to escape a trach change (a scheduling snafu meant daddy’s planned assistant wasn’t able to come at the intended time, and barring an emergency situation it’s far better to have two people at minimum) and played with her toys and with daddy all afternoon and evening. Her PT called in sick on Fri morning, so Fri was much a repeat of Thu as far as little miss was concerned.
She was acting pretty tired by the time I got home on Fri, and we both thought she would go down for a late nap. But apparently my presence rejuvenated her, because instead of taking a nap she got her second wind and stayed awake until 2am. With no nap!
