Mum & Dad

Today I took mother to the hospital to see dad. He was moved from Ward 309 to 401 earlier in the week, but when I went in today, he’d been moved again, within the ward to a different room. He was in good spirits, and reasonably well. Still wheezing in the chest, just about everything has been sorted out with various medications. He’s now on some super antibiotics which should clear his chest infection.

While we were there it came out that he keeps phoning “wrong numbers” because he’s so clumsy with his hands (part of his MS) so I spent some time sorting out the contacts on his phone, got it charged up, and put some credit on it with a top-up. That seemed to cheer him up some more.

Tonight Andy & his girlfriend are out at a friend's birthday party do. Suzie has gone to another birthday party session in the city, which is fancy dress so she's gone as Mini Mouse. All 3 will freeze as the temperature was 4 degrees celcius when they left house, and falling towards the forecasted -2°. Mark is doing course work for his degree and I'm sat writing these blog updates and (sort of) watching "Time Team" on the TV.

Mum is in good spirits and benefitting from this unexpected respite and will be joining us for Sunday lunch then Andy will be taking his grandmother to see his granddad after lunch.
