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

    Hello Teri,

    As always I am here if you need me. I have been through this terrible journey myself with mum as you know.

    Bert is fighting til the end, just like my mum did.

    Hope he is at peace soon even though we never want them to go.

    Take care

    hi teri,

    sorry i've not been in touch for a while but i do want you to know you and bert have been in my thoughts.  you know teri, bert may look weak but believe me it is amazing where he is finding his strength from, i agree with sarsfield, sometimes we like to hold on to those who are dearest to us and maybe bert still wants to have you with him, still wants to have the comfort of your voice, still is determined to be here for his grandsons appearance, he must be stubborn too just like my grandad "he once said i want to be here as long as possible and i will fight to do so"  its amazing what inner strength can do and he has great fighting spirit.  I just hope now they have got Bert sedated the last part of Berts journey is a peaceful one and i hope you have got plenty of support at home because you know you have got everyone here.  

    omg i got a little emotional then, you and bert have touched my heart xxxxxx with love Reneesha xxx
