Just wow, hope your dad makes a complete recovery, sending double prayers across the pond for you and family (((HUGS))) |
Oh Sally, I am praying your Dad recovers quickly. I also pray Andy will be better from the cough. Thankfully, his back is healing well! Hugs to you and all. :love: |
Sally, so sorry to hear about your dad. Sending more prayers for dad and for all of you that this trend of bad luck turns around and everyone gets well. Enough already. |
Family ills:( Poor Dear Sally. What a load you have to deal with right now. Hope you are feeling better from the cold/ lurgy and so sorry poor Andy caught it too, and not being able to take meds to help him through. Thank goodness he is healing enough to take the coughing with not too much damage. Aaaargh!! Hope the bug goes away very soon. That is horrible news about your dad, troubles sure never come singly. Hope he got treated quickly and is recovering well. Thoughts and prayers for a quick return to health. Hoping through all this you were both able to enjoy the family visit, and that they have a peaceful and safe journey home. There is some good news and that is that Andy is getting better from the surgery, Yeh!! Spring is coming and hopefully with things looking more rosy for your family. Take care and hang in there. :) Thinking of you. Hugs, Dot xxxx |
I know you enjoyed the visit with the kids but know how tiring family visits can be. Sure hope your father is feeling better today, poor guy. Do you know if his doctor is really worried about him or was hospitalizing him more to observe, test? How is your mom doing? Hopefully you and Andy can make significant advances on clearing up your colds this week and life can begin to sort of feel more like normal again. You've been a positive soldier throughout all this - never heard you actually complain for even a moment and you had every right. Hoping and praying for better times over there. Kiss the Little Prince for me. |
:) Thank you all again...what a funny old time it's being eeek! They had to admit my dad, as he collapsed with it all in the bathroom, in the middle of the night, while my mum was sleeping. She didn't find him 'til the morning :( Unfortunately, the position that he fell, he kind of got wedged between the door and the radiator (their heating's always on, they're such chilly things) and so was laying against that burning heat...his back is very burned, too :( My heart is absolutely bleeding for him. My mum has her own troubles (not as bad as his, more age-related), but both my sister and I have spare rooms that she can stay in if she wishes. She doesn't want that at the mo - we're spending loads of time with her, but she's wanting to end up in her own bed. I shall go round there first thing in the morning. Thank goodness Andy's on the mend - what a couple of weeks....!!!! :) xxx |

Oh dear Sally! So sorry about your dad ! Glad Andy is on a good path thanks to your excellent nursing. Of course, grand babies help with that, too:D Prayers for your father (and mother). Keep Andy on track😃 |
Sally I am so sorry to learn about your Dad and all that he has gone through. Sending prayers and best wishes for him and I hope he heals quickly. It certainly has been an overwhelming time for you and your family. I hope Andy is feeling better and both of you have shaken off the coughs. Hugs and best wishes. |
Oh gosh your poor Dad. So sorry to hear of the burn. I'm praying for your whole family to get well, and not have any more health events. |
Oh no Sally, your poor dad. How is he? I hope he's recovering well? How awful that he was burned on top of collapsing with a heart attack/TIA. I'm so sorry to read this, when I last posted I hoped you and Andy were both well on the road to recovery and were both enjoying some quality time with your children/grandchildren. Sending warmest wishes and lots of hugs to you all. Hope you're feeling a bit better now Sally and your cold has gone. Healing thoughts being sent to you, Andy, your mum and dad. |
Sally, I am praying all is going well for your Dad and he gets better soon. Hoping Andy is healing well and last but not least...you are taking care of yourself and not wear yourself thin. Hugs to all! |
I'm sending you and your family some gets well wishes and some prayers. I'm so sorry you have had to cope with so much. Your poor dad really breaks my heart. Be well, and know that you have quite a group of people who really care about you and hope the rainbows appear for you after all of these terrible storms. |
:) Morning, everyone :) All's improving veeeerrry slightly at home, Andy-wise. At least his operation healing is going extremely well, woo hoo!!! We both are now on amoxicillin, I don't think the doctor can quite believe all that's going on in our house!!! :D Dad's still in hospital - but I'm not allowed to visit him (doctors orders!) as he can't be placed in any danger of catching this...fortunately my sister's able to visit him - she's still well, at the moment :eek::xfingers: :) xxx So fed up with feeling so rubbishy - when all I want to do is go and visit and cuddle and look after my lovely family - hopefully it won't be too long now! :) Big, safe, long-distance hugs to you all!!! :) xxx |
Good to hear Andy is recovery well, how horrible about your dad getting burned from radiator, poor, poor man. He is in the best place he can be, hospital, where they can monitor him and care for his burns. Praying things turn around for the best quickly for you and your family, (((HUGS))). |
Oh, Poor Dear Sally:( So sorry you and Andy are still feeling so bad with the respiratory infection, but hoping the ABs clear it up soon. What a misery that all this is happening, it really sucks!!! Your dear dad is in the right place to get him better and pray he is well again soon. I can see it is upsetting for you that you are not allowed to see him, but an infection would be very harmful to him now. You must be comforted though that Andy is healing well, but will be happier when you both are over the bad colds and coughs. It is not fair, you do not deserve all this trauma. I feel for you, and thoughts and prayers coming your way for this bad patch to fly away soon. Again, so sorry that you are both sick. Get well SOON!!! Healing wishes and big hugs. Dot xxxxxxx |
You poor things - was so hoping this week would be a better one but now we'll aim toward next week getting you there or at least a lot closer. If ever two people were a set-up for germ-warfare, you were. Rest, drink your liquids, rest and pamper yourselves and we'll be out here praying always that Andy's result will be A-1++++ with his surgery and he'll feel like a new man. ((((Hugs)))) |
Sally I send my deepest wishes for both of you a speedy return to health. |
Oh no! Sending you my thoughts and prayers. Hang in there Sally, we are here for you! |
Sally, I hope that each new day you wake up and feel a little better, and that Andy and your dad do too. It is amazing, all that you are going through when even one medical problem would be a lot to handle. :getwellso:getwell: :big_hug: |
Here's hoping you, Andy and Dad are doing better. Have a Happy Easter!!! |
Happy Easter:) Thinking of you and praying you, Andy and your Dad are feeling better and can enjoy a Happy Easter and of course Easter eggs...not to many though. Don't forget treats for Harry! Love, Dot xxxxx |
How are you all? Hello Dear Sally. Hope you all had a peaceful Easter and that you and Andy are feeling better now. These respiratory infections can drag on, but hope the SBs worked well for you. How is your dad doing? I pray that he also is feeling much better and is home with your mum by now. I am sure that even though perhaps you did not feel 100%, you cooked up a wonderful and delicious Easter feast for the family:) YUM! Thinking of you and wishing you well soon. Love and hugs, Dot oxoxox. Kisses to little Harry too:) Hope he did not eat too much rich Easter fare? |

:) Ladies....thank you all :) Quick update - things have gone (in a way) from bad to worse. Not Andy-wise though, thank God. Dad's still in the hospital - they won't allow him to come home until a proper care package (apart from me!! :D) has been put in place. Which includes a stair-lift, certain doors being reversed so that can't happen again etc. etc. But that all takes time, of course. Mum's come to stay with us which is kind of creating it's own problems. Of course I can keep an eye on her here, but our stairs are steep, and we're practically lifting her up them...:( She will stay with us until all the work's been done, and then dad and mum will eventually go back home together. Please keep on keeping all your bits and pieces crossed for us! :) xxx |
Thanks Sally for the update. Good news is that Andy is progressing well:) Although it is a setback to have to do all that stuff in your parents' home before your dad can come back, it is for the best and will be worth it. I am impressed that the NHS takes so much interest in aftercare. Here you are sent home to fend for yourself. Hope getting the work done does not take up too much more of your time. May that task be done soon:) I know it is an additional stress on you to have your mum staying with you now, but at least you know she is safe. The stair thing must be difficult though. You poor thing, you must wonder when normality will reign again in your home after all this trauma. Of course the thoughts and prayers continue for you and your family. Try and take care of yourself throughout all this trauma. My do you need a break!! This too will pass and hopefully Spring will bring happiness and peace soon. Love and hugs, Dot xxxx |
So glad Andy and Dad are on the mend. Hoping the work gets done as soon as possible and your parents can get back into their own home and bed - they'll be so much happier there. And so will you! Having an unsettled elder - even Mom or Pop - stay over isn't always a picnic. Getting old enough to retire isn't nearly as free and easy as it's cracked up to be, is it? There's still enough problems and work to be done to keep any two adults busy day to dark. Still praying for all of you. |
So another quick update....:) My dad's coming home tomorrow - stairlifts's being fitted between 11-4 a.m. - I've advised the hospital that he shouldn't be at home while that's happening...!!! Just can't imagine the eeeek chaos that would cause....:eek: My mum's quite scared/concerned about going home now - Andy + I are so very relaxed about life in general - we're 'let life be and enjoy' kind of people - my dad isn't it...ex-lawyer...and still thinks he's practising...just don't know what tomorrow will bring - but will keep you posted. I'm so sorry about us - I know you all have more important things to think about - but thank you all for thinking about us (+ loving us all the world please?!!!? :D) xxxx |
Hi Hello. Thanks for the update, good to know things are coming along well in your parents' home. It is a shame they could not keep your dad in for one more day as installing the stair lift all day tomorrow is not too good for him on his first day home. If he comes home tomorrow I hope there are a bed and bathroom downstairs for him. The great news is that he is deemed well enough to go home.:) I can see your mum may be a little apprehensive about being back home after living with you where all is taken care of. But she will soon slip back into her old ways. Hopefully there will be a nurse or helper to assist her if your dad needs any aftercare. And I know you will be there if needed:-) Hoping all goes according to plan tomorrow and that the guys come when they said they would......not always true, here anyway. Warm thoughts and good wishes. Love, Dot xxxx |
Don't you ever apologize for needing support and prayer or fail to tell us when something is going on! That's part of what we're here for - to help each other. I can tell you've got your plate full but hopefully mom will calm down when she sees that the stair/chairlift aid will help her and your father and make life easier. A guy like your dad seems to be probably would be far happier if you all just don't manage to get him picked up until after the crew have installed the chairlift and gone home, however late that is! It will be stressful enough for him coming home again and still not feeling his best w/out a lot of hullabaloo going on in his home, a new apparatus to learn how to operate and your mom being tense and upset trying to cope with all she's got on her hands now. Poor things - it's not easy getting old. Hugs to Andy and Harry and even bigger ones to you, Sally. |
