Day 1886. It was another rough night of pain for me, while Tammy was sick and had a fever and was restless next to me. Emmy took his time to come which was good. Randy left with Emmy and Sammy to take them to their kindergartens, while Tammy stayed in bed with me, watching videos. Eventually she fell asleep and slept for a while. I got up and sat down at the desk, as I had a 11:30 am student scheduled.

And imagine, that student being on holiday from school slept instead of coming to the lesson. Randy left just before noon to go pick up Sammy, while I made some noodles for our leftover chicken soup that Tammy then ate some of as well.

Just before 12:30 pm Sammy came home, and Randy left right away to go pick up Emmy. I then heard from my student's mother who scheduled another lesson for 2:10 pm. I guess I wasn't thinking how Randy wasn't gonna be home throughout that lesson. Randy got home at about 1:45 and ate his chicken soup. I got Emmy dressed for his dance class that Daddy was gonna take him to. Because of my sickness he'd missed two Tuesday classes in a row, but there was an opportunity to make one up today. With Tammy sick, there was no going to the wheelchair class with Sammy, so they were staying home. I was thankful (physically) that I didn't have to take Emmy to the class as originally planned. They left at 2:30 pm, while I was teaching.

I finished at 3 pm, much to Sammy's delight, as he'd already been impatient for me to be done. I stayed at my desk as the pain is more bearable sitting than lying down. At some point Tammy came asking to lie down in my bed, and it took little time for her to be asleep. Sammy kept playing with me.

At about 5:20 pm Randy and Emmy came home. Tammy was still asleep. At 5:30 I started teaching again, and a few minutes later she woke up and ran out of the room crying. I had already prepared their dinner before starting to teach so that Emmy could sit straight down to eat. Sammy had already started eating before their return, and Tammy had no interest in food.

When I was done teaching at 6:20, Sammy had finished all his food and was ready for the bathtub, even though it was still a little early. But he doesn't like waiting so he was in the water not before long, and I told Emmy to get going as well to join him there. They were having fun there and ate some more. Tammy went to bed for the night, but returned after for the story and prayer. They ended up in bed a little earlier than usual.

I went to the kitchen to get myself something to eat, then got to work on the pictures. Now it's not even 11 pm yet. Tomorrow morning I have to leave the house at 8 am to be at the hospital at 9 am.
