Remie seems to have had a lovely weekend so far. She has commented a few times that it's better when Alex is here because he plays with her, but overall she's been happy playing on her own or hanging out with me.
We went to see Rebecca, the psychologist, again today. She and I had talked on Monday as a follow up to our last appointment. In the appointment, she'd come to see that Remie has trouble settling down. She asked, as follow up, about Remie's medical history and was pleased to hear about the ENT check for tonsils and adenoids as well as the sleep study. She mentioned that some of Remie's behaviours were similar to ADD and suggested a pediatrician visit just to get a bigger-picture view. She did say that she could see some mild anxiety regarding my treatment but she wondered if there was something else.
In today's appoitment Remie mentioned that she didn't like that I have to go to radiotherapy. Rebecca asked her what about it she didn't like, and she said that she didn't know what it does to [mum's] body. We explained it and she seemed ok. Rebecca and Remie spent a bit of time together talking about feelings. It was a good session, but I'm sad that poor Remie has to deal with all this in the first place.
In the theme of our girls' weekend, we got her toenails painted (no fingers as it's not allowed at school) and had a wonderful high tea at The Bolierhouse at Q Station with Sue and J, Rach and M and Jenny and Z. The girls enjoyed the food and the play on the beach afterwards and the grown ups just enjoyed it all.
Remie and I came home and watched "Bugs Life" as a little treat after a very light dinner. I went on to watch another "House of Cards", racking up 3+ hours on the louge. Perfect.
