My dad has some serious health problems. My cousin has been telling me "just take one day at a time" which is the only way I have been able to handle the past couple of weeks. Barry, just take one day at a time; it's all that you can do. I'm wishing you and your mum the best. Hugs, Lisa

Hello Baz, The thoughts and prayers of my family and myself are with you at this difficult time, keep your chin up and give your mum our love, Regards Helen

Hope you're up and about and feeling much better soon Ethel. You take care too Baz. Jeanette

Update : Firstly, let me say how touched I am,for the way you kind people have taken the time to write to me. You are truly, a great bunch of people. Bless you all. I`ve been to see my mum this evening,and she`s a little more aware of what`s going on. Got some colour in her cheeks, and talking quite well,but still early days yet. I`ve told her about your kind wishes and prayers,and she is very much taken aback,by your kindness, especially from people she has never met. She has asked me to thank you all,which I do now. Updated, with love to you all. Barry. XXX

Hi Baz, Sorry to hear about your Mum I will pray for her . Margaret.

Hello Barry, Your Mum will be prayed for by all of our family and friends here in South Wales. We wish her a speedy recovery. God Bless You and your Mum. Love from Maisie and all her lot in South Wales.

You and your family especially your Mum are in my prayers Liz

Healing thoughts for you mum Ethel , hope she is better soon. Karen.

Barry, I am thinking of you. She will be quite shocked I am sure but the doctors and nurses should be able to minimise her pain with medication. She will probably need to see the physio over the next few days to make sure that her chest stays clear so make sure that she tells them she wants a little extra medication before they start their session with her. If she needs to cough whilst you are with her make sure she holds a pillow across her wound to support it and minimise the pain. And if you can get her to "sigh" hard as if she was exaggerating being fed up to shift any mucus from her lungs without having to cough hard. Best wishes Abigail

You will let us know how she gets on, won't you Barry? Best wishes Abigail

My thoughts and prayers are with you both Best wishes Heather

I wish your Mum a speedy recovery Barry.I am a nurse and I know how she must be feeling having to have a bag fitted.Give her my blessings and tell her to keep her chin up Love Janet

Thinking of you Ethel,and wishing you a speedy recovery.xx We'll all be waiting for updates Baz, take care

Hi Baz, Love to both you and your mam. Im thinking of you both...xxx

I would like give an update to my mums progress, especially to those people who have sent their kind prayers and wishes,since the last update. I must admit, I`m overwhelmed be the responce, from so many kind people from all over the world, for that , I thank you. I know that what she has just endured, is proberbly commonplace,but it still strikes home, just how frail the human body is, and just how much it hits you. I hate to see a loved one in trouble, but with the kind thoughts etc,from people I`ve never met, makes it so much easier to cope with. I saw mum tonight, and she seems to be improving all the time. I`ve told her of your good wishes,which I think, cheered her considerably. I can`t say much more than this at this time, except, THANK YOU, to you all. Baz, XXXX

Before I sign off for tonight. May I say to you Baz; take heart and put your trust in the lord. And I pray that he will protect your mum and yourself with his love and grace;bringing your mum to health and fitness very soon. May his blessings be with you both now and always. Ernest Prendergast

take good care Barry and try and be strong for your mums sake - she probabably needs you now more than you ever needed her - hope it all works out for you both xhugx Lynda

Barry I will continue to keep you and your Mum in my prayers. Take care JA
