I am down with him now, awaiting the doctors visit, and it looks to me like he is just sleeping.

He is not groaning or flailing about with nightmares like he was.

All in all he doesn't look too bad to me.

I am sure he is looking forward to his coat of fur, thank you, it will make him look like a pet yeti.

I'm hoping for some good news about Fred, Sharron. You must be exhausted. Hope the doctor can sort things out. Thinking of you both,

Lynda <3 <3

He is sleeping today and not flailing about. He gives the occasional groan but I think that is a cough clearing his chest which is not rattling at all today.

I am happy for him to sleep because I think that is when you heal.

Had a bit of a job getting his capsule into him but washed it down with a drop of prune juice because you like to keep the traffic flowing if you can!

He also has his dentures in today because, otherwise, he looks the same at both ends!

Hope the rest does Fred the power of good and hope you get some rest too. Nothing worse than trying to care for someone when you are dog tired yourself. Thinking of both of you

Having slept all day, he is now having a banana.

Won't be long before he is swinging on his tyre now!

Glad to see you have all rested and Fred is more alert.

Wishing you all a calm and restful night and hoping Fred feels better still tomorrow.

The doctor came. He mentioned end of life care which I said I did understand was probable because Fred is, after all, ninety- four years old.

He did agree that I know Fred better than anybody and that I was probably not deluding myself when I say that I can see improvements in him.

There is more of Fred in that bed today than there was yesterday. He is more responsive to us today and he has eaten the yolk of a boiled egg and half a banana.

At the moment he is enjoying a wine gum.

Sharron - the doctor is probably spot on when he says no one knows Fred better than you do, and also of course his mate, I hope that he will continue to make progress and soon be tackling his usual chores - take care <3
