.. sad news day ..

... my Grandad has taken a turn for the worse .. and is now completely unable to do anything unaided ..

.. the nurses have said he has said his goodbyes (it seems) .. and has given up ..

.. which is fair enough at 93 ..

.. he is also now refusing to eat and drink .. and only mumbles yes and no ...

.. last Sunday my Dad took him for a visit to see Nana (who is in a different rest home) .. as he really wanted to go and see her .. he said it was so lovely/sad .. as they held hands for the longest time and as he said even after all that he has been through with her he still loves her .. and the bond is still there ..

.. my Dad is visiting every morning and my Aunty every afternoon ..

.. they are still getting him out of bed .. but each day he deteriorates more ..

... getting old SUCKS!

... and a friend rang to say that a baby in the HC group (who we have helped with since his Mum was pregnant and diagnosed) is having his ventilator and kidney dialysis machine turned off today to be allowed to pass away gently ..

... SO SO SAD !!!

.. so today is a sad news day ..
