Less than one minute read time.

Bert is still fighting, I din't know how but he is. We had a few scares at the weekend where I had to call the kids in several times but he keeps on rallying round.

He is sedated all the time now because the agitation was just getting worse, the fact that he could not remember stuff really upset him. He has to get his lungs suctioned several times a day to get everything off his chest so he can breathe. It sounds like he is drowning in his own secretions it is so hard to watch. They told me on Saturday they did not expect him to last the day also on Sunday then again Monday and today. The Consultant said he is a stubborn old boy and will go when he is good and ready, but it does not make it any easir to watch.

Will catch up later in the week,

Love to all

Love Teri

    Teri, I'm thinking about you both all the time. When my brother-in-law was in the last stages of his cancer, the Macmillan nurse told my sister that sometimes they need to be told that it's okay to go. Hard to say those words I know, but she did say it to him and he fell into a deep sleep and was released from his suffering the following morning. It is such a difficult time for you, but we are all here for you.
