hi all not been on for a week or so so much to do, and not enough time i know you will so understand. Christmas with mam was great brought her home for full day pushed her dinner onto her spoon with her finger while saying how luvly again and again it was, and that was good,but christmas is a bit of a marker for looking back at what our loved ones could do this time last year and i am so grateful we still have communication but found it all very emotional and had lots of tears. Then boxing day took mam out she could barely walk or talk was quite concerned and she was bieng monitered. Went in on thursday not sure what to expect and she seemed okay so went to beach and she was on top form, demolished an ice cream while walking the sands! There are days when she slumps in the chair not knowing anything and others where we grab and squeeze all we can out of them. Its not an easy time of year and i,m grateful to tp and wish you all well, x
