Wednesday 6 June

Dad is very weak, sleeping almost constantly. He wakes enough to eat some breakfast, and has very little other food or drink during the day. His legs are so weak he cannot stand at all now, and his hair has been seriously falling out today. A hospital bed is due to come tomorrow, which should help us keep him comfortable and move positions with more ease. He is settled and frequently praises God, and always looks up to blow kisses and say "love you."

Mum is happy to be home and in the relative quiet (well, with 2 daughters and families…) and we have had lovely visits and food/flowers dropped in. Her cough is troublesome at times and breathlessness comes and goes.

Warmest thoughts, many thanks.
