Home life update

[dianeduane]

Last night we got back from visiting Peter's mum in the hospital up north...and it's an understatement to say that neither of us were happy to see a woman previously so vital looking so frail, and half the time fighting for every breath.

Now this morning came a message from Peter's sister saying that she'd been called to the hospital because Mum had taken a turn for the worse...and the consultant who's been handling Mum's case has said that there's not much they can do for her now but "keep her comfortable."  This is unhappy news. I suspect we may have to go back upNorth again rather quickly: and if this happens, work and (obviously) blogging will have to take a back seat for a time. Please, everybody understand. I'll do my best to keep you all posted as events transpire, but our internet access up there is spotty.

Any spare prayers would be very welcome right now.

You're in my prayers.

Ah, I am sorry. I know how much you care for her, let alone how much Peter does. Please give Peter our love, and look after him.

[wetdryvac.livejournal.com]

Completely understood, and may this turn as well as it can for all of you.

Prayers sent, and please save your worry for where it needs to be.

I know how you feel. We're planning on coming to Ireland in two weeks time. This was so my kids could meet their great grandfather, who up until a little over a month ago, was doing well at the age of 94. He's been in the hospital ever since and he doesn't look good according to my mother.

My prayers are with you and Peter.

:( I wish there was something I could say or do to help.

And anybody who doesn't understand isn't worth worrying about, IMO.

You and Peter and your families must come first. The rest of us will wait until you're sorted.

Oh, dear.

Prayers on their way.

Please, everybody understand.

Of course, Diane. Don't let us get in the way of what you have to do. Peter's mum is vastly more important than we are.

My prayers, best wishes and good vibes are with all three of you. Please hold her hand and give it a squeeze for me.
