The night wasn't too good, when I woke up I found her sleeping on the side of the bed. I tried to walk her to the lounge (we live in a bungalow), but it was a real ordeal. She said she felt (and looked bad), which really gave me a bit of a downer. She's no longer mobile and sleeps most of the time (which isprobably a good thing) and today she's having a problem bringing up the phlem in her throat, and is declining to eat.

Continued later.  We've had a busy afternoon, the district nurse for claxain and bed sores, the doctor, who's adjusted her medication, and the hospice, with a ripple mattress, walking frame and baby alarm. It's amazing the help we've had. Coupled with a visit from her american cousins (Claudette is american) she looks a lot better, and she's eaten ice cream! I just hope this contiues, we're giving her stronger medication tonight and hoplefully the ripple matress will work. Tomorrow the doctor's back, the Macmillan nurse is coming and she's having her hair done.

    Hi there,

                 I am so glad that you are getting lots of help and that Claudette is looking better. Ice cream is good and so is the fact that she is having her hair done tomorrow. All the normal little things mean such a lot. You are being so strong for her  and I hope that YOU are getting support from friends and family. You need to have small breaks so that you can continue to give your wife the amazing love and care that is evident from each of your posts. Thank you for your message.

                Thinking of you both,

                      Love lizzie xx
