The Eagles Have Landed

At 8 a.m. this morning Dad was admitted as promised to St Vincents Hospital. With the help of two of the most wonderful carers, I got Mum ready and drove her to Rathdrum Community Hospital where she will be in respite care until the end of Feb at least. She was quiet but resigned. The staff, having been informed about the reason of her admission have promised to take special care of her and though it will never be the same as her being cared for at home we will not look too far into the immediate future.

Dad saw the consultant and it would appear that surgery is still not on the cards but a CAT scan is. Still no biopsy results or PET scan results. We have started the next phase of the investigation.

I am away at the clergy conference at Athlone as nothing much will happen over the next 48 hours. We await a more accurate picture.
