So what I take from the mopey stories this morning...
** Ella had a swollen lymph node on her neck - didn't feel unwell, but went to the hospital and had blood tests done - inflammation markers up, but she's 'fine'. Yet, they're dealing with something 'heart-breaking as a family' and she's taken her books off her as she had 'dark circles bigger than mine and I have a baby who doesn't sleep'.... to me that would indicate something's wrong, if she's dark circles and doesn't want to sleep and now physically something is wrong???
** The something heart-breaking, doesn't seem fully genuine to me, it seems like a grasp or exaggeration as she couldn't look at the camera when referring to it and seemed to be anger there - maybe it is LDD and BTB??
** Everything is trivial and yet curtains are of high importance?? eh??
** Taking Ella's books off her - what I see and saw when I was going through things as a child as an escape from reality -- when she's going through something 'heart-breaking' too is cruel - parent properly and find a way to help your child without taking her comfort away!
** The slating of Amelia continues...
