Steve is going into the hospice this afternoon

[onlyjoking9329]

i know he needs to be there and hopefully they can get him more stable.

the planning vistors is a good idea except that his mum just turns up when she feels like it

Oh OJ - sorry to hear about the upset at visiting time. It's going to take a few days to settle. Meantime, try and get as much rest as you can. As mums/wifes we are in demand by everyone and you need to keep your strength up. So you have someone to look after the children during the day so you can catch up on sleep? xx

OJ sorry to hear the visit ended like that , although am sure Steve forgotten by now. Hope Elliot ok , and you.

DH & I are thinking of you all OJ! Take care and I hope you get a good night's sleep tonight. x

OJ ((((( )))))

oh lovey it must have been so very hard to take him in but you have done so much to keep him at home i really don't know how you managed as long as you did. don't be feeling bad about it love you need a rest and kids need a rest and steve will get the very best care there. so sorry to hear tonights vist was difficult for you and your boy.

OJ, my best wishes and thoughts to you all, I hope that Steve is more settled tomorrow. Has Steve's mam come to terms with everything now?

OJ, my heart goes out to you, hun. My dh had a brain tumour so I know a bit about what you are going through. Here's a huge (((( )))) for you. You must miss having Steve in your bed although I'm sure you're still waking up out of habit to check he is ok. Sorry, your son got upset. I can understand Steve's frustration at wanting to be home. Its so tough but you've done the right thing. I know its the last thing you're thinking of right now but try to set aside a little time, even if its just 5 mins in a day and do whatever you feel like, even if that is absolutely nothing! You need to take care of yourself as well.xxx

oj I wish I could do more than send you my best wishes. I cannot begin to imagine what you are going through, but I just want to say that I think you are an incredible wife and mother, and you are doing a fantastic job. I hope Steve is settled today. You are in my thoughts and prayers. xx

Isabella sorry to see your Dh had a BT too.
elliot is ok this morning but doesn't. Want to go back to see his dad, I can understand how he feels cos Steve is very confused and unpreidictable, I want the kids memories of Steve to be good ones but so hard to do.

It must be really tough for you all OJ. Keep on posting and venting..

xx

OJ - your kids will have many good memories of their dad - what is happening now will only be a small part of a large and loving whole.
Thinking of you all

OJ, thinking of you today again.

Thinking of you all OJ. Sending you lots of love and good wishes xxx

thinking of you too OJ. Havent posted on your threads before but I always check how it's going on the rare occasions I MN these days. xx

the kids have gone to respite carers until this evening so i am having a coffee and then going in to see steve, i haven't phoned the hospice to see how he is cos i would only be stressing until i could get there.

That sounds very sensible OJ - you have to take care of yourself - hope you're having some lunch as well as a drink!

good re: respite

I hope Steve was more settled today, it must be very hard to leave him there when he is wanting to come home
what's the plan for him?
