Liz is slowly getting weaker and less interested in the days as they pass.
She is no longer able to get up even with assistance so we do all her cares while she rests in bed. She is lucid most of time but not really interested in chat. Has the occasional moment of disorientation but soon gets that back into order. We have her resting on a roho mattress which has made her even more comfortable than just the roho cushion. Her pain continues to be well managed with the pump and the occasional break through is managed with a bolus dose. The other key symptoms she has are nausea and restlessness which we manage with drugs. In the past few days she has developed a ‘wet’ cough so she rests in a more upright position than previously. Overall she remains comfortable. Amazingly she functions on ice blocks and the very infrequent coffee. Thank you everyone for your continued support. Love Lynn

Thinking of you both today with lots of love. I have been seeing some good growth in my vege patch, and that made me wonder what you planted Lynn after the working bee. I hope you've both been getting much pleasure from the sights, sounds and smells that gently waft up to the bedroom from your lovely garden.

The moon and stars have been so bright these past two nights I have spent long evenings sitting outside thinking of you and praying for you both. Wish there was more we could do for you.
