Still in hospice


With mammoth effort on his part, David made it to church briefly on Sunday. It's so important to him
to be there, even at huge physical cost. David is such a dignified gentleman, to come to church in his pyjamas is NOT easy for him to do, even at a time like this. But he knew the energy to get 'dressed' would use up the little energy he had to actually make it to church, to worship his God and be with his church family. Just love that he knew what the true priority was - faith and people over appearances and pride. Even now, he teaches us so much xx

Hi all, 

David is still in hospice for the time being. He was too exhausted after the busy weekend of visitors and making it out to church to think about going home today. He seems to be settling into things a bit better there too, so thankful for that. So we will take it day by day as to whether he will transition back home or not, and how Catherine and his medical team think we can support him best in that.

Visitors: David asked today that any visitors just sit with him and be with him and not ask too many questions (he is finding it hard to chat/participate). Please take your lead from him on this and also keep visits to about 15 minutes. We are still trying to space out visits to suit his needs, but he does enjoy the warm presence of loved ones when he is up to it.

Grateful as always for your prayers, love and support. Will update later in the week.

Kate and all David's family xx
