Summary

Dad was admitted to hospital on Saturday following a rapid decline in his health which culminated in a fall in the road on Saturday afternoon. He is in the West Herts Hospital which is very close for Mum and where he is being well looked after. We are thankful that at the moment this is the best place for him to be. Although he has a beautiful black eye, it is healing up. His pulse rate is very high and he has had some fluid drained from his lungs. He was anaemic and has had a blood transfusion. We are awaiting a bone scan to find out the cause of the pain in his back and right hip. He is likely to be in hospital for a little while at least.

Thursday

Dad was moved to a medical ward on Tuesday evening and is comfortable at least. They are expecting to perform a bone scan today to find out the exact situation. Please pray that we would be able to find things to tempt him to eat as he has very little desire to eat and his blood sugar was 2.this morning

Thursday evening

We are still waiting for the bone scan - which may not be until early next week. Dad's appetite is still poor and we are taking him food as the hospital provisions are not very tempting to saythe least. He has a walkman and has enjoyed listening to Jeremy's sermon. He is in quite a lot of pain when he moves. Diary

Thursday 21st August Debs is arriving today, together with Jessica and Florence who is wery worried about Gandpa
