A Week Later

So Dad has been home a week. The chemo was quite aggressive and it has taken the week for him to show some return to form. It has been hard for him to manage the tiredness and it has required him to only do the necessary so he hasn't been on line or on the phone to anyone. I hope over the next week the improvement will continue.

Mum is due home this day next week and it will be challenging to care for them both properly while the routine resettles. She continues to be cheerful and settled in Rathdrum but is anxious to be home again. She was "ashed" by the RC priest on Wednesday and when I asked the nurse if they realised she was C of I the nurse responded that they didn't mind "Sure the priest just does everyone!!"
Some of the home helps have been visiting her regularly - Ann Marie and Helena have been exceptionally good to Mum (and to the rest of us) during this few weeks

Thank you for your continuing prayers.
