THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH FOR YOUR PRAYERS RE. WILLIAM’S OPERATION. THE SITUATION IS THAT HE HAD  LOTS OF “GUNGE” IN THE LEFT EAR WHICH THE SURGEON FELT COULD BE AFFECTING HIS HEARING. THAT WAS ALL CLEARED AWAY. THE RIGHT EAR WAS FINE, SO HE HAD THE GROMMETS INSERTED INTO BOTH EARS. ON COMING ROUND FROM THE ANAESTHETIC, HE DEMANDED HAM BUTTIES AND A DRINK! HE WAS DISCHARGED HOME AT ABOUT 1pm AND HAD A TWO HOUR SLEEP. (ALI WAS VERY GRATEFUL FOR THE REST ALSO). PHIL WENT BACK TO WORK, AND I GUESS BILLY’S ROUTINE IS ALMOST BACK TO NORMAL.

MANY THANKS ONCE AGAIN.

WITH LOVE  PETER AND BARBARA    XXXXX

THURSDAY, 22 MARCH 2007.  MUM IS SO MUCH BETTER. TODAY ONE OF THE SENIOR CARERS WHO HAS BEEN AWAY FOR A FEW DAYS REMARKED ON THE IMPROVEMENT SINCE SHE LAST SAW HER. MUM SEEMS NOW TO BE ALMOST BACK TO WHERE SHE WAS BEFORE SHE MADE THE DREADFUL JOURNEY INTO HOSPITAL. THE WEARINESS HAS DISAPPEARED. SHE STILL SLEEPS DURING THE DAY BUT IS BRIGHT AND ALERT WHEN AWAKE.  SHE NEEDS NO SPECIAL CARE EXCEPT PERHAPS A HAND TO HOLD WHEN MOVING FROM CHAIR TO BED OR BED TO CHAIR FOR A CHANGE OF POSITION. APART FROM THIS SHE HAS A FEW THINGS PUT ON A TRAY FOR THE CARER TO MOVE TO HER BEDSIDE TABLE FOR HER TO USE DURING THE NIGHT. SHE INSISTS ON FEEDING UNAIDED AND DOES THIS ADMIRABLY.  SHE IS ALSO RINGING HER BELL WHEN SHE NEEDS TO CATCH THE CARERS ATTENTION. A VERY MUCH IMPROVED LADY!

MORE LATER,

TED.
