...aka an update on Mum.
I am aware that there are those of you in the Land of Wib who have been praying for me and mine, and I noticed that I have not updated you on the situ for a while.
Basically, progess is being made. Mum is walking pretty well now and is less inclined to lose the word for things. Her right hand side is still slow to improve, but I get the impression that things are coming on. As I said before, frustration is probably her greatest enemy. In fact, the amount of litters of kittens she has given Dad and D does not bear thinking about, given the way she is pushing at the boundaries.
Dad seems to be doing okay, or as well as he ever does :-/ D is still struggling to a great extent. Mum has gone a bit dizzy a couple of times, which sets off alarm bells and also D's stress related illness. D has also needed to suspend her studies again. She is having to provide alot of care and support for the parents, at a time where it would be good for her to get support herself. Dad has always been a little awkward, and this whole thing has made Mum more 'spikey' than she used to be. Not a good combination for a daughter under pressure to deal with.
Wish I could do more. Feel so distant, and a little guilty that the whole situation can be far from my mind for long periods of time. Anyway, was not going to be self-absorbed :-/
Was listening to a Christian talk earlier, blokey was talking about Jesus walking on the water. He said that the disciples would have been most worried about the waves, afraid that they would overwhelm them. He went on to say that the things we are afraid will rise above our heads, are already under Jesus' feet. Good, eh?
