Cos I don't know?
Today I pulled PJ out of school and the three of us went over to Trowbridge. Now the definitive 2-3 weeks has been retracted somewhat, to be replaced with a 'we cant possibly predict' but they still deemed taking the grandkids to say 'goodbye' to be a good plan - so I dont think the timescales have changed enormously. So we went............
Paul's dad was looking slightly better than I'd feared, his second lung is, apparently, staying glued up, and they may take the drain out, but he had the carer up 3 times last night because of pain (mainly, I hope because they had him on a stupid amount of pain relief -60mg codeine/1g paracetamol, and 10mg oramorph -for the nurses reading this). I'm pleased to say the morphine has been doubled, and is prn, 2-4 hourly, but personally I'd have had him on 30mg to start, we'll see. He also has a pressure sore on his sacrum (we'd have been shot in my day! )
Paul's mum was okish, not yet seen the neurologist, with it at times, very tired and teary. The live in carer is amazing.
The kids are ok, it nearly broke my heart to hear PJ say 'bye' 'I love you' to them both. His time to visit is much more limited but we all knew we may not see one or both of them again this side of heaven. I have been so very blessed to have these amazing people as my in-laws, I love them both.
We then had lunch with Val, Ivor, Ruth and Shelby, which was lovely.
So that was today- I think its time to open some wine....................

Have been praying for you all so so much. I can't imagine how hard it as for you all... I cry just reading yours, Sarah's and Paul's blogs! But it is so good to see you holding onto each other and seeing God through it all. xxxxxx
