Good morning one and all. It's been a little while since we posted an update and I know some of you are concerned for news. It is difficult to give you an accurate breakdown of where we are medically as that would require long lists of drugs and general medications. Plus the explanation of one aspect of Judith's condition would be an answer that creates twenty more questions. The point is Judith is in good hands here in the hospice and is in the best place to be, both medically and psychologically. The hospice is a place of safety and control. As we speak the birds are doing their morning thing and all around is a Sunday morning calm. No distant cars or trucks, just peace and tranquility. We have been here two weeks tomorrow and we shall be here for some time yet. Enjoy the weekend, Judith sends her love. Alan.

Good morning everyone, It's nearly a week since Judith was admitted to the hospice and as we speak it is 06:30am Sunday morning. I am sitting in the reclining chair at the foot of Judith's bed she is sleeping now and all is calm and peceful. I have the window open to the lovely garden outside the patio doors and the birds are doing there thing. Judith is very tired most days and sleeps a lot. She finds that a bit frustrating as she would love to be more involved In the day. I shall leave you for now, but thought this a good chance to keep you up to date and wanted to share the moment with you all. Alan.

We are two days into the hospice treatment and there have been more lows than highs but things are beginning to settle down and work in the manner they should. But we have a long way to go yet and getting the infection under control is the next immediate hurdle. In the midst of all this we got a visit from the granddaughter Jasmine today which lifted the mood somewhat. Hard not to smile when she leans over real close to a bee on a flower and whispers....where's tinkerbell ? I have included a photo taken in he garden at the hospice during the hunt for fairies :- )

Dear all, This is Alan again, just an update on Judith's situation. Judith was admitted to the hospice at lunchtime today which frankly is a great relief after a very difficult weekend. She may be in for up to 2 weeks so they can stabilise her condition. I will try to update you all as and when I can, they have wifi here and I will have the iPad with me so lets see how the next few days go. It goes without saying, thank you for all your support it really makes a difference. Alan.

Dear all, This is Judith's husband Alan. Judith has asked me to put a quick note on here. Over the last few days Judith has been very sick and we are working hard to get things back on track. We have to stop the sickness before we can medicate other issues. So please bear with us whilst we get Judith better.

I have been overwhelmed with emotion on my Birthday today, I have had so many lovely messages, images, photographs, cards and gifts, I wouldn't know where to start to thank all you precious people, but thank you from the bottom of my heart. For all the love you have shown me, thank you, I feel privileged to have come across so many people who are nothing short of beautiful. You make a difference to my life. Your support has been amazing, and I have made many new friends around the World who I will probably never meet. I spent two hours with my family today over lunch, I was grateful to have been well enough to go out. Everyone spoilt me with gifts and cards and my home is full of flowers. Early this morning Jasmine sang Happy Birthday to me on the phone, I won't forget that. I dreamed of my Mum and Dad, they were in our old home together I was there interacting with them. That was lovely on my Birthday... Thank you for making this such a special day.

It's been a difficult week even though I had a blood transfusion last week. I felt like I had more energy but because I've had another infection, or symptoms of another infection, I haven't felt the benefit as much. It's been a week of dealing with this awful disease on a daily basis and trying to keep my temperature down. Some days I can get out, other days I lie down most of the time trying to deal with what my body throws at me as the complications develop around the tumours. It is awful, but here I am ready for a new Birthday tomorrow. I made it to another one.
