" ten - chan. " as always, she's soft spoken when she makes herself known, careful not to startle the too jumpy child. a fond smile is at her lips and she squats until they're eye level. " would you like to help me with some breakfast ?? we can make some pancakes. " she's practiced plenty since the last disaster, okay. " we can go out somewhere too, if you'd rather. " a hand comes to rest on his head, gentle ruffling of his soft, newly lightened locks. " you have a doctor's appointment today, remember ?? how do you feel ?? " she wonders if it seems like she's done nothing but inundate the poor boy with therapy and quirk doctors and regular physicians, but goodness - he's been through enough to need it. still, she'd hate for him to get too overwhelmed and not tell her. it's hard trying to gauge by the day how he may be, but the trauma is so extensive...goodness, she can't think on that so early this morning. put on a smile, nana !! you've got a grandson who is counting on you.
