It's very hard to get a happy medium with visiting folk in hospital, but lovely that people care enough to visit, maybe you will have to get them to call you and ask first how many people are going in.

Hope your Mum continues to be able to eat a bit and be happy to see folk.

Thank you all for your continued support and prayers.

Mum had a reasonable night, and has been tempted by more toast and horlicks this morning. She has a little pain, so they are trying another drug alongside her present medication. She tires so easily, so we are having to keep visiting to short periods, but she is always pleased to see her visitors. I think yesterday 6 seperate people from church went to see her, along with my husband and then myself, it is too much really.

God bless
Ann

my thoughts and prayers are with you, your mum and the whole family.

So glad your Mum got such pleasure from the dog's visit and is sounding much chirpier. Hope this can continue and she manages to get some enjoyment out of life again.

so sorry for you all, thinking of you xx

Ann so sorry to hear about your Mom and do hope she continues without pain. If the morphine stops working then they can use Diamorphine or Fentanyl patches (replace patches every 72 hours).
I worked in a hospital (pharmacy) and there was a Macmillan ward so am aware of the various pain relief there is and there are quite a few really.

I will be thinking of you and your lovely Mom.

I am glad that they have got the pain in control. Love and prayers to all.

I have lost 3 members of my family to various forms of cancer in the last 5 years,including my father.
and now my beautiful 19 year old niece has been diagnosed with the worst form of skin cancer, she doesnt even sunbathe!

So I do understand what you are going through,

So I am sending you my love and a big hug, hope you can both get through this as well as possible.

You will be in my thoughts, at this difficult time.

take care

Your mum sounds like a well loved person.

Thinking of you mum and all the family,sending my love.X

oh Ann my heart goes out to you i just wish you all the best with your lovely mum and i will continue to pray for you both.

I went to see mum last night and she was almost pain free, and had eaten her tea, and was delighted to see me and our little puppy Lucy, I put Lucy on the bed and she promptly gave mum a bed bath ( licking her ) mum was delighted and said to me I am so glad you brought her, I was worried she might forget me.
She had managed to write three thank you letters, which is brilliant as it means her concentration is coming back.

This morning the ward sister tells me she has had some toast and horlicks and is once again pain free, although she did waken at 03.30am for some paracetamol, she still has the morphine drip attached, it appears to be doing the trick for her, but please can we continue with the prayers.
The lady oposite her is going home today, she is 91 and looking forward to being in her own bed mum says.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers

I hope your Mum continues in the same way for a while more, many people show a bravery that we wouldn't expect at times like this and you must be very proud of her.
Wishing you all strength and courage..

It must be very hard for the whole family. My prayers to you all.
