Near the end

Less than one minute read time.

Mum took a turn for the worse over the weekend, she can't even drink unassisted. Yesterday she was very agitated and broken blood spots started appearing all over her body. Blood test were taken and it was found her blood count is dangerously low because the cancer has attacked her bones the bone marrow is not making blood any more.

The Dr has advised us not to take her home as she is at risk of heamoraging which could be very distressing for my mum. The hospice is equiped to give her medication to stop the distress. We had to tell dad she wont be home he broke down in tears. This is a very harrowing time, I am hoping mum just sleeps away very soon so she can finally be at peace.

    Dear Anne,

    I know how much you had set your heart on having your Mum back home, I am so sorry it will not now happen.

    You better than most can understand the reasons why this cannot take place.  This is very distressing but could have been much more so if you later faced a situation that could not be handled at home.

    I trust Mum gets the best of care and is kept free of discomfort.

    Love Charles xx
