thanks for all the well wishes guys. Dad has had to go into a hospice because he now needs round the clock medical attention. he has deteriorated so much. We got a bit of a scare yesterday morning when the hospice rang up and said we needed to get up there as soon as possible because they didn't think he had long left to live, but he seemed to improve and become much more alert as soon as i got there. They did say that we do have to prepare for the worse though and it would only be a matter of time unless a miracle happens. my heart sinks everytime the phone rings now.

It seems like things just keep going from bad to worse. Sadly my daughter suffered a miscarriage on saturday and this has knocked me for six. She seems fine and is keeping her spirits up, but I just feel like cracking up.
