Did you get some sleep last night OJ?

Steve woke up four times last night
he soon settled back to sleep and the night nurse was able to settle him without calling me.
i slept for a few hours so don't feel too
haggard bad.
i have taken the kids to the school bus and hopefully no phonecalls from school today.
i have my mate coming over in a while she has been poorly so has kept away.
thankyou as always for all your good wishes and support they help me throu the days, don't worry about saying the wrong thnig.
The night nurse said last night that her fella had man flu so he thought he was dying, she looked a bit embarrassed and later apologised althou there was no need cos it did make me smile.

Your night nurse sounds fab and it is great that she will sort Steve out without waking you. enjoy your trifles today. x

Thinking of you.

Always in my thoughts OJ. Keep strong x

glad you managed to get some rest OJ what a lovely nnurse you have.

Steve has had a good day, he has eaten very well plenty of trifles i need to re stock
we are having a chinese take away tonight which he really enjoyed last time.
Mike is due to vist tonight mon and thursday are his nights, but the SW told mike and his mum that they were to phone to confirm and not just turn up, in fact the SW said they should phone up on non visting days to ask how steve is and to check i was ok, not had any phonecalls since the vist last thursday.

Glad he is having a better day, and I envy his diet!

mmm chinese sounds nice

and trifle

what lovely treats

Enjoy your dinner!!

Have a great chinese

glad today has been better, hope you have a nice evening together and the out-laws stay away!

Have a lovely evening OJ. I too envy Steve's diet!!

Lots of love xxx

OJ - I hope you enjot the takeaway and steve keeps on enjoting his triffles. Making more memories to keep. I am thinking of you as always.

I need to get iron levels to at least 10 curently 8.7 - I just thought that was what having two active boys made you feel like

Dear OJ Like a lot of others, I suspect, I check in on this thread every day without really knowing the right thing to say. I'm humbled and inspired by you and your kids and Steve - and by the support you get from MN. Just wanted to let you know.

I am completely baffled by all Steves side of the families behaviour, not to ring since last Thursday FFS.

Oh well, its not suprising is it, they are maintaining there characters, true to form.

What kind of trifles does Steve like ?

M&S do a variation on the theme called a Raspberry Royale, too yummy for words. Nice and sharp and sweet at the same time.

Enjoy the Chinese and trifle!

Enjoy your takeaway this evening OJ!

OJ, hope you and Steve enjoy your Chinese. Good to hear that the trifle count is high today . I suppose a phone call in between visiting days is just too much to ask. If they were really interested & concerned for Steve nothing would keep them from wanting to know how he is. Its just very sad. They are the ones missing out and its by their own making. Love to you, Steve & the children. Hope you get to sleep through tonight. xxx

Hey OJ, where did Steve's love of trifles come from? Was it from before he got sick or is it a recent thing? Which is his favourite kind?

oj,been looking at your threads.very sad but like other Mn have only got praise and best wishes.Funny how your in laws are behaving ,they should be supporting you.You have a lot of emotional things to deal with and of course your 3 lovely children.They should be helping you with them as after all they are steves flesh and blood.Be so very proud of your self ,it must be a very sad time for you and your children.GOD BLESS. XXX

It's sad to think that we on MN know more about Steve's day than his own mum

OJ it sounds like you have some wonderful mates locally, and some sweet carers to help you along - bless that night nurse

Hope you all have a good night's sleep in Trifle Towers

Steve was having a good day but after his tea he got very confused and aggitated was telling me that the carer was not very nice and was telling him lies, the carer was sitting in the room at the time
his brother was supposed to vist 6.30 - 8 but rang at 6,15 to say he would be late, he came and 7.40 and stayed till 9 steve was still very confused and after his brother had left steve was insisting that he was going to stay at his brothers house and that our house was in fact a boat.
Steve is still not settled and is still very confused and keeps trying to get out of bed to go to the shop/pub/park.
i have come away to have a drink and ten minutes peace i just wish steve could find some peace tonight, i think we have a long night ahead of us.

Oh OJ started to catch up on your day and was full of hope you would have a nice dinner together and peaceful night. So sorry Steve is getting aggitated and confused. I really wish for you both that he settles.

I'm glad you know to take yourself away for 10mins or so and get your breath back, you so need to do this. Keep posting if you are awake and i'm sure there are loads of us around to chat with.

And don't be bout what Steve said when carer was in room, i'm sure she wouldn't want you to feel like this and will know its not the way he is or really directed at her.

Lots of {{{{{hugs}}}} and you know we are here. x
