sandy is “less well” as the staff here say..
over the weekend his gentle “la la’s” have become more strident and stronger. for 3 or 4 nights it has been 4or 5am before he slept. then slept all day -one time for 20 hours! he has received various “extra” doses of medication..staff expressing concern for his arm muscle tightness, his rigid grip.

una stayed friday, margaret saturday night – i slept until 9am! yesterday we had 2 yeses and 1 no from sandy all day… over the weekend his gentle “la la’s” have become more strident and stronger. his light cough has grown thicker, his voice deeper. no longer “la la’s ” so much as “urrs”.

i continue to decorate his room with the cards and messages you send . an assistant chaplin (i have met but have no relationship with) entered our room without knocking nor invitation this morning told me what an interesting room it was to visit! she gave her opinon on art work lying on the bed before moving over to sandy and commenting to me something like “he’s poorly now” …….how not to be a chaplin!

    Dear Rae,

    Just popping in to visit on my way to work. And reflecting that for me it is important to be heard; although no-one can ever fully enter in to my meaning, that they take time to listen is important and affirming to me. So we listen to you, and acknowledge your speaking, and you listen to Sandy, and acknowledge his speaking. And we hold you in the Light.
    with Love
    Catherine
