Good morning, Julien. Did you manage to get some sleep?

Heh... I was a little surprised it actually worked. It has been bugging me since shortly after I joined. I guess they do listen sometimes... but yeah, back to Julien.


Well done, Beepster.

Been here for a while. Dad has thrush in his mouth from all the antibiotics, so he is not eating much but actually... I think he is doing better than yesterday. It is going to be slow and could go good or bad but I think he will be going home tomorrow... I hope.
 
I dread trying to sleep in this hospital recliner again tonight... but I will pass out sooner or later no matter where I am.

Thrush sucks.  I've had a few minor bouts with it.  Had to take lonzenges or gargle a syrup.  The syrup seemed more effective and quick to deal with.  Each lozenge lasted about 20 minutes.  For each dose of either, I couldn't drink or eat anything for a half-hour afterwards. 
A friend of the family had a bad case and wouldn't eat anything at all.  He had to go into the hospital for I.V. nutrition. 
 
Continued prayers and best wish to all of you,
Jan

Parents care for us at our beginning and if we can be around to help them nearing their end then that's a great return on their life's investment in you.

You sound like a caring son Julian. I've not heard you complain about the difficulty for yourself, rather you focus on the needs of your parents. They're fortunate to have you.

All the best for you and your family.
