Last night the five of us spent the night at the hospital. Wombat had fallen over while carrying a porcelain bowl full of ice cream. Her hand has a gash the length of her palm which is held together with glue, (did anyone else know they did that instead of stitches now????) butterfly clips, and bandages.
She is now licking her paws in her wombat refuge, better known as our ellaroo or sling. Her head is placed right next to my heart, her small hands lightly griping my arms and the deep sighs of comfort and love let me know she feels safe in her ‘snuggle’. In this position I can go about my day, with free arms and a clear mind while she laughs, sleeps, and plays. Here she knows she is safe, warm and loved. She spends all of her illness’s right here for the duration. Be it head cold or sore teeth…. or sore paw.
Here, in muma’s arms, everything is as it should be.
