Day 345: Kids

Poor Remie wasn't excited about going to school this morning. She got sad when I dropped Alex and her off; I thought she might cry, but she bravely headed into the school yard.

All my specialists tell me that exercise is key to recovering from treatment and getting the lymphoedema under control. So I went to the gym today. I'm not supposed to do any weights, so I got on the spin bike (not easy when you can't use one arm) and did all my hip exercises. If nothing else, it helped my head.

Ruth came by for lunch. Before we were finished, I'd received a call from school to pick up Alex who was unwell. When I got there, I checked in with Remie, whose class was doing computers, to see if she wanted to come home. She said she wanted to stay, and one of her friend's mum, who was helping with computers, offered to bring her home.

Alex rested while Ruth and I talked. He seemed to just be run down.  When Remie got home they played happily for awhile. It's so nice when they get along.

We needed to decide if Remie would be interested in the Mythbusters show we're taking Alex to on Saturday, so Alex set up a little cinema in his room using my iPad for Remie to check it out. It was a great little treat for Remie.
