Mum is feeling well again although we did have a slight wobble at lunch time today. She had a bit of a coughing spasm. This was something that we'd got really used to but I must admit when it started today I felt really worried. I was thinking please god don't let this start again just when mum is feeling better and I could see in mums face that she was feeling the same. It probably lasted about half an hour to an hour, on and off, but since then she has not coughed again and is feeling good.
She has only just gone back to bed at 5pm today, that's the longest she's been able to stay up for a long time. She also did a little ironing today! I used to tell her not to but I realise she wants to carry on as normally as possible so if she feels up to doing something I'm trying to let her do it. Besides I hate ironing!
Well it's early in the evening yet but so far, apart from a little blip, it has been another good day!
