So many lovely posts. 
Dhiren is comfortable. He has slept all day and refused food and drink except for a few teaspoons of jelly.
He has had no medication yet because the District nurses will not appear until tomorrow but he has remained comfortable and is definitely more relaxed.
His limbs have straightened and he has found it easier to accept personal care from the carers than he did from the hospital nurses.
So it seems obvious he he best where he is.
Our grandchildren wanted to visit so Paul and his wife brought the three of them in. Paul leant over Dhiren and told him the children had come to see him.
Dhiren said "I`ll get up soon.”
This afternoon we listened to a Nana Mouskouri CD. I leaned over him and told him what we were listening to. He recognised the name and the music, just for a minute, and smiled.

Dear Grannie G,
So sorry you and your dear Dhiren have come to his stage of his illness. I can empathise with you as I have recently been through exactly the same situation with my dear mum when she was sent back to her care home from hospital as there was nothing further could be done.
I do hope Dhiren is now comfortable in his surroundings and know you will be with him as much as is possible for you. My thoughts are with you both and you will be remembered in my prayers. Take care of yourself.

I'm so pleased that Dhiren has had a comfortable day and even more so that you got one of his lovely smiles
I'm so glad you got your smile Sylvia. It sounds as though Dhiren is comfortable and contented and that must reassure you. He is in the best place with the people he loves, and who love him, beside him. love and thoughts xxx
Just wanted to add my best wishes along with everybody elses, also pleased you got a smile xx

Dear Sylvia, what a lovely post from you, thank you for telling us about Dhiren.
It is wonderful to hear that he is more comfortable and that he is relaxed with the carers attending him. Also that you did get a lovely smile from him. All of which must have lifted some load from you.
I hope Dhiren continues to feel safe and reassured, and yes he is definitely in the best place, his safe care home, rather than hospital.
Hoping you have a decent sleep tonight, and wishing you strength during this difficult time.
Both you and Dhiren continue much in my thoughts and my heart.
With my love

When I think of Dhiren I think if him warm, safe, comfortable and secure with a smile on his face, like the photo of when he was cosy in bed in his home after being at the hospital,
I hope you are managing to rest Sylvia xx
