Sigh... another day late... for those interested parties enquiring, this is the day that decisions were made. Nature is to be allowed her course and father is in a top place with the best of care that the National Health System at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary can provide.
The view from dad's room - a single room with private facilities, all the bells, whistles and cuckoos. If he were but present enough to know how he is being cared for.
I rest now knowing that Mac1 and I have done all that we can and finally we are being afforded the space to return to being dad's daughters. For how much time? A piece of string may be able to tell you. Day by day.
Bless you all for your loving support and patience with me during this time.
You can be as late as you need to be - we are all still here. And today we are sending you extra BIG hugs and lots of love.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts are with you at this time of waiting.

We're glad to hear your dad is settled in his new place. Our paws are crossed that he can be happy. You and your sister deserve a bit of a breather now.
ReplyDeleteOh, Yam. It's such a tough thing. I am so sorry. You've done so well by him. XX
ReplyDeleteLove, prayers and lots of virtual hugs being sent your way my friend <3
ReplyDeleteOh, Yam, I am so happy this heavy responsibility is gone, and you simply are back to being his daughters. My sister and I cared for our mother until she was gone, but she was the perfect patient. You and the other Mac's did not have such a light burden.
ReplyDeleteSending you so much love.

ReplyDeleteYAM...yesterday when I dropped by I felt as if things had come up requiring thought and decisions.
ReplyDeleteYou and MAC1 have 100000% done all that was humanly possible for your precious Dad at home. It is important now that you return to Dad's Daughters. He is in the care of professionals where life can take it course.
With love and hugs and understanding...during this difficult time.

ReplyDeleteOh Yam, so sorry to hear it had to come to this, but also knowing it is the best for him. I hope he is 'with it' enough to at least rejoice in his daughters and son.
