Mondays are difficult days as Neil goes back to work after the weekend and I am without my hospital buddy. Today was a good Monday because I brought Jasmine home for the afternoon. In anticipation I got up early, hoovered round and did my yoga. Then I went down the hospital and drew up Jasmine’s medicines and set up her dialysis machine.
Jasmine pulled out her NG tube this morning so no one in the street was stopping me to ask me what was wrong with my baby. I have been asked this several times and now have some answers:
- Nothing, she was born with that tube up her nose.
- Nothing, she fell over and landed on the tube.
- Nothing, the tube just got stuck.
- What do you mean? I thought all babies had tubes up their noses.
- Mind your own business, you nosy bugger.
Still not decided on which one to use.
We spent the afternoon cuddling on the settee and looking at each other. She is the most beautiful baby I have ever seen, with or without her tube.
Jasmine seems to have grown since I saw her few weeks ago !! Its great to see her look so well !
