In Sickness and in Health

I hope things settle down for you both soon. Thinking of you.

Told via phone call he would be home today. Sometime this afternoon but couldn't give me exact time. So cancelled my hair appointment which was at 3pm and waited. At 4 was told still waiting for antibiotics from pharmacy. At 5 pm told he was being kept in as platelets were low. Got ready and went to hospital. What ensued was rather farcical. When I arrived yesterday afternoon he was nil by mouth waiting for salt test. Querying and asking for explanation of salt test was told sodium levels and nothing to worry about. Today asked Staff Nurse why he had to be nil by mouth until this morning for salt/sodium test. She looked at me in amazement and then apologised. It was SALT test i.e. Speaking and Language Test to ascertain swallowing and aspiration as well as speaking. The verdict is that he has the onset of disphagia and his diet has to be modified Also aphasia which means slowness of speech and difficulty with communication. Both serious symptoms of PSP So his condition seems to be progressing quite quickly now. Just keep us in your thoughts and prayers. XX

Absolutely. School now shut for hols but when we are back will get my wee lovelies (actually they are now rather tall too cool for school P7s - though I love them to bits ) to pray for special intention. Much church going over the Easter period so you are getting extra prayers.

Will certainly do that Maureen. xx

My thoughts are with you too, SG.:flowers:

Thought and prayers for you both Maureen xx

Loads of thoughts and prayers are winging their way to you and Alan. God bless. x
