's condition

[Guest guest]

I am writing this email on behalf of Berrie (some of you know me, her little

sister - hello to you all) because they moved house a week ago (all went

well, they're very pleased) and they haven't got their pc up and running

yet.

To cut to the chase, was at the hospital school at St. 's,

Chertsey, on Wednesday when he started to complain of headaches and got

sick. He was admitted that afternoon and they did a brain scan on Thursday

(was that really only yesterday?) which showed that the tumour was attacking

the blood vessels and that he had had one or maybe two cerebral

haemorrhages. Today they moved him to the Royal Marsden because they felt

that he needed to be with the specialists to get the drug dosages sorted out

quickly so that he could go home as soon as possible. He's on morphine now.

They hope to bring him home (he loves his new " suite " in the new house!)

early next week - the commmunity nurse and the marie curie nurse were

assessing the house to see how it would work out today - as soon as the

drugs are sorted.

He is really very ill now - the medics are saying that really we're talking

at most a very few weeks - he could have another cerebral haemorrhage at any

time which could kill him. It's hard to know what to pray for. He seems to

be moving away from us.

They're all hanging in there but it's going to be pretty tough from now on.

Please keep praying for and thinking of them all. I'm afraid I won't be

able to update you for another week as we're off on holiday tomorrow but

maybe Dad will when he goes back home. I promised Berrie I'd let all her

friends know what was happening.

Sorry to be writing this.
