Good Friday

It has been a difficult time since my last post. Dad will remain in hospital over the weekend and into next week. His difficulty eating has become a real problem and this means that he needs hospital support. They are trying to make him more comfortable but thank God he is not in pain. He was very tired yesterday.

As a result of his continuing stay in Blackrock we have taken the difficult decision to place Mum into the care of Greystones Nursing Home. Although she would liked to have remained at home, she would have had to spend time alone in the house if we were in Blackrock and we felt that she needed secure care and have reluctantly made the "responsible" decision. Jacq and I will bring her there later today. Needless to say we are all distraught by the relatively sudden turn of events and ask for your continued prayers.

I hope to be at Dad's computer over the next couple of days and plan to post his wonderful sermon on this blog for those who were not able to hear him preach last week.
