Sitting and sleeping in a chair for those eight days, and having nurses coming in and out at all hours of the day and night, allowed for lots of AWAKE time!
The books by Emily Rodda and Colin Thiele are for younger readers so they were fairly easy to get through and the Dannielle Steel ones had pretty much the same sort of characters, right down to their elfin faces and sable coats, with just different locations/occupations etc (I had to read both of those as quickly as I could to lessen the torture - they were DREADFUL). Certainly made me appreciate Robin's tales all the more!
Will be a little while until she gets back to normal but is much better than she was the week before last. One of my sons had previously gone down with pneumonia for three weeks as well. I'll have to pack an emergency bag filled with books on my 'to read' list, in preparation for the next time something like that ever happens!
I must admit, I also like to be able to flick through my hand-written notes...kinda spoils it for those reading the books after me though! Still, could always use that as an excuse to buy all new copies...!
