Eight – May-Li's entry
Dear Diary,
Today has been the most stressful day working at Ashdene Ridge so far. I can deal with Tyler's pranks, Jody and Carmen fighting but not this. Watching as they put a small, innocent girl into unconsciousness so that they could prod her, inspect her, run tests to see if she was whole and innocent or just innocent.
The wait was so agonisingly long and when we finally got the results back Skye wasn't even there. It was just me and Rhydian and the news wasn't good. When she came back after talking to the social worker I went out and talked to Lucy about the results and ask a doctor to go through it with her as well. Just that short walk Skye made through the cubicle to her brother broke my heart that at some point one of us was going to have to tell her.
I had wanted to do it but Rhydian insisted it would be better coming from someone she truly loves and knows will protect her through everything that happens. When I got back, he was emotionally drained. Skye was a crying mess. The hospital think she has shock and wants to keep an eye on her mental stability. She's nine for goodness sake. Her mental stability is being back here at Ashdene with her friends and at school.
It's just not good and tomorrow… tomorrow Mike and I have to break the news Skye is coming back for week to the kids and that will cause questions to emerge,
May-Li xx
