A new toy

Some people might be confused what a 2.5 year old girl might be doing with such a device but get your mind out of the gutter, it is my new inhaler mount that helps me better breathe the two sprays I have in. I have Ventolin as the first and then another one to help treat whatever the hell is rattling around in my lungs. As Daddy has told, I am not sleeping through the night due to my breathing at the moment and last night was so bad they were considering taking me to the hospital.

Instead we went to the doctor instead but because if the short notice, it wasn't my usual specialist, it was someone else. Normally Daddy is with me and we play while Mummy talks to the doctor but today, it was just Mummy and I as Daddy was still on the train coming back from work.

The doctor was a bit weird Mummy thinks, not very good with children but hopefully good enough as a doctor. She said there wasn't much to really do though which is a pity as I think getting a few goodnight sleeps under my belt (I don't wear a belt) would do me some good. Instead, Daddy is going to stay up and look after me during the night which he is thrilled about considering he has been up for almost 24 hours already.

As Daddy would say: It is what it is.

It is a strange little world we live in isn't it? Everyone trying to do their best but there is so much variation in starting point and of course results. How much does luck play a part in life when none of us choose out genes. A bit of a mix of the genetic cocktail and perhaps I would have been completely healthy or, maybe worse. Careful what you wish for so I hear.

While my health hasn't been great, I am making some pretty good progress in some other areas. I can write my name and ÄITI (Mummy) also. I can read all the letters and can spell out words, even though I don't know how to link the letters together yet to say the word. Oh and did I tell you, I can colour between the lines 'pretty well' too using real pencils. And of course, I am super funny. Life could be worse I guess.

Sleepy time for now though, Daddy will still be around if you want to talk to him though. The doctor said if I wake up coughing he should give me some Ventolin and see if it helps so will be awake so Mummy can sleep. It is Daddy/ Daughter weekend again so, I hope he has energy for that too.
