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

    Thanks everyone, I don't honestly know what I would do without all of you. I can say stuff to you that I know would only upset my kids but it helps saying to you.

    I have tried telling him it is ok to go I even suggested he was missing his pals birthday party and that his pal was waiting for a drummer for his band, But no it has not made any difference I am convinced he is waiting for his grandson which is not due for another 4 weeks at least.

    The Consultant told me that he is a stubborn old boy and he will go when he is ready, she also said it is a very hard thing for them to predict but maybe 2 days that was last week then again on Monday. So who knows what he is waiting for. His other consultant also said he is most likely holding out for the baby.

    Will keep you posted. I have forgotten what my house looks like.

    Love Teri

    Dear Teri,

    I was thinking the reason Bert is hanging on is because he dosent want to leave his Loving and Caring Wife,and Family.

    Just a thought.
