Joan’s pain meds were upgraded today. She has major fluid retention again and this evening was to have a scan to determine whether another drain is necessary.
She is due home on Monday and although the Silver Chain will visit daily, I will be her principal carer. The hope is that we will have some quality time together over the time that is left.
Earlier this evening I had a call from Sophie who is an ex-student of mine from Willetton Senior High. Soph is a metallurgist on a Queensland mine site. She, like me, is an emotional person. She is following our journey on our family blog and we both shed lots of tears over the phone. A wonderful young lady!

I am praying that Joan arrives home on Monday so that will give you both the quality time together you both deserve.
I think of her often throughout the day, sending big hugs....:-(
Hi Kevin,
Have been following the blogs and am so sorry to hear about Joan. It was wonderful to see her at DW and we will miss her hugely - she gave so much to us all.
I have been in touch with Charlene about the fabrics - have emailed Joan to see about getting them to Ch. but I guess you haven't had a chance to look at her emails. Can you let me know whether you would like me to pick them up and get them to Ch.? All the best Kevin - you're doing a brilliant job and the stress must be huge. Please get in touch if you need anything. Thinking of you both, lots.
Iris
