Hi all

Well archie has been home 3 days and the dreaded infection has got hold again speech crap unsteady and wobbly when being moved breathing not good started antibiotics and see what that brings

I cannot help him at all as my breathing is crap too my sats are 88/103 so let the fun begin when no carers here

I thought at least we might of got a bit longer before things started up again How wrong I was

Oh Sue I am so sorry. You were so looking forward to having him home. What kind of infection has Archie got Sue?

His speech will get worse though. So will the standing until he can no longer do it. The more worrying thing is his breathing.

You have carers tonight I hope and tomorrow morning? Don't attempt to move him alone Sue. You are not in any condition to do that.

I am really sorry that things have gone pear shaped so soon.

Lots of love.

Hi Marie

Not sure I think it's more chest but I spoke to dr and started him on antibiotics which cover chest and urine .Yeah his speak has got worst while he's been in hospital .

Carers are coming at 8.15 for 1 hr then they are here 9/2 tomorrow for 1st visit

Matron is coming to see both of us in morning so just have to see how things go.

So sorry Sue, sending you love and big hugs.

It's my birthday today, so hard and strange without Keith, but I suppose I'll have to get used to it, the first anniversary of everything is going to be tough, 49 years with Keith and the first time without a card from him, I nearly got one out of the cupboard from a previous year but couldn't do it!

Thinking of you both....Pat xx

Pat

Happy Birthday! Sad as it will be for you I know. As you say the first Anniversary of everything will be hard. I found Garry's birthday very difficult. Now I have my daughter fretting over Father's Day! That is fast coming up? See how I am starting to worry about it? Yet I wasn't until my daughter got upset about it that I realised it was soon. I don't think anything will really change but the first of everything must surely be the hardest?

Sorry for hijacking your post Sue!

Is there no end to what this horrible disease throws at the sufferer and consequently the carer too. I hope the antibiotics do the trick Sue, you could do with a break from all of these crappy incidents associated with PSP.

Sending you a big hug
