UPDATE ON MUM
23/02/2007 by Ted.
EVENING OF FRIDAY 23 FEBRUARY 2007. APOLOGIES FOR THE LATE POST - IT HAS BEEN A BUSY DAY. MUM IS NOW TUCKED UP IN BED IN HER NEW ROOM AT ST. GEORGE’S. SHE IS DELIGHTED WITH THE ROOM AND HAS BEEN COUNTING HER BLESSINGS ALL DAY. THE GARDENER PLACED SOME POTS OF DAFFODILS AND CROCUSES OUTSIDE THE WINDOW OF THE ROOM WHERE SHE COULD SEE THEM (NOT VERY WELL WITH HER FAILING EYES, BUT GOOD ENOUGH TO APPRECIATE THEM).
LIKE YESTERDAY SHE HAS SPENT THE DAY EITHER SITTING IN HER CHAIR OR LYING ON HER BED. SHE IS HAPPY, WARM AND COMFORTABLE AND ASKED ME TO SEND HER LOVE TO YOU ALL.
ESPECIALLY SHE THANKS THE GRANDCHILDREN WHO WERE PLANNING TO COME AND VISIT HER THIS WEEKEND BUT PUT OFF THEIR VISIT BECAUSE SHE WAS UNABLE TO COPE. SHE ASKED ME TO TELL YOU THAT SHE LOVES YOU ALL VERY MUCH, AND THAT HER NOT WANTING TO BE VISITED BY HER GRANDCHILDREN WAS NOT BECAUSE SHE DOES NOT LOVE YOU BUT BECAUSE OF HER ILL STATE. SHE SAYS THAT WE ARE TO ENSURE THAT WE ALL LOVE EACH OTHER JUST AS SHE LOVES US, AND THAT EVEN WHEN SHE HAS LEFT HER OLD BODY SHE WILL STILL BE AROUND KEEPING AN EYE ON US.
THE DOCTOR CALLED TODAY WITH THE RESULTS OF HER YESTERDAY’S BLOOD TEST. THIS SHOWED THAT THE MAXIMUM DRUG DOSES WHICH SHE IS ON HAS BEGUN TO AFFECT HER KIDNEYS. THE DOCTOR IS THEREFORE INTENDING TO TAKE ANOTHER BLOOD TEST IN A WEEK’S TIME AND IF THE RESULT IS THE SAME SHE MAY REDUCE SOME OF THE DIURETICS MUM IS TAKING. THIS COULD, OF COURSE, RE-START THE BREATHLESSNESS WHICH HAS AT PRESENT CEASED, SO THE DOCTOR WILL TRY TO BALANCE ONE AGAINST THE OTHER TO ACHIEVE THE BEST RESULT FOR MUM.
ON A GOOD NOTE, LAST NIGHT MUM HAD THE BEST NIGHT’S SLEEP FOR A LONG TIME - 8PM UNTIL 7.15AM THIS MORNING. CONSEQUENTLY SHE FELT GREAT AT THE START OF THE DAY THOUGH THIS GRADUALLY WEARS OFF SHE THEN DOZES ON AND OFF IN HER CHAIR.
MUM’S PHONE IS NOW DISCONNECTED UNTIL 12TH MARCH 2007 WHEN THE ONE IN HER NEW ROOM IS INSTALLED, BUT I WILL, OF COURSE, KEEP YOU POSTED VIA THE BLOG.
MUCH LOVE TO EVERYONE,
TED
