we never made it to birmingham

1 minute read time.

Hi everyone, so much has happened since i was last on here, errol was poorly and needed a blood transfusion , home again but still not feeling so good,,, then he started with a cough doctor said it might be a chest infection so a course of antibiotics were taken,,,,

trials for birmingham were coming up but i was sure that errol was not well enough ,, but nothing was going to stop him taking part thats for sure,,,, then we found out that he needed a heart scan before they would consider him doing it,,, so it meant we had a bit more time for him to be feeling better .

the cough was not going and was having to have more oramorph to stop it, but then he started coughing blood so we ended up back in the royal city hospital on the 10th september,,, they thought it could still be a chest infection so was given antibiotics intravenously , still no better x ray showed possible fluid on lungs and maybe cancer had spread in lungs.............

I was allowed to stay with errol the whole time and had a little camp bed that was put up each night ( i told errol i was having a sleep over ) the nurses are so lovely and made me feel very welcome

errol was now put on oral antibiotics and the fluid was not able to be drained because of where it was, so next step was to get some oxygen delivered to home ready ( he seemed to need oxygen to ease his breathing )

we ordered a bed for home so that he would be comfy and propped up all was set for home on friday 24th  

errol was 59 on 19th september and had a great day lots of visitors balloons and cake

.                                                                                                                                           wedsnday the 22nd errol suffered a heart attack ...............

but he never stopped fighting and passed away on saturday 25th at 4.20 pm

i never left his side and all his family were there  and right now i still cannot believe my lovely brave errol is no longer here    I AM EMPTY  .............................
