Mum's endoscopy went very well (if you can say that about such a thing…) The results explained a lot and relieved many concerns. No current stomach ulcers, but diverticular disease responsible for the recurrent acute abdominal pains. Nothing of sinister nature. Few more days of needles, back onto the warfarin, and back to normal diet.
Poor Dad, chose to stay home but was down and out all day, and suspicious we were concealing problems until Mum returned. Chris was off work, popped into hospital to see Mum, but mostly stayed with Dad.
We received formal notification today that Dad’s Vets Affairs claim (for the melanoma) has been accepted. He is very happy about that. He will be eligible for some extra assistance and allowances and is pleased to know ‘Mum will be taken care of.’
In the next couple of days, Palliative care will be out to see how they help us take care of Dad at home and provide some advice and resources.
Our thanks for your love, and prayers. Mum said today she must be covered in prayer because she was so calm.
With love,
Beth, etc
Ron and Joan
