Desperately Seeking Help for my Brother

[Rosie1958]

Had a bit of a disappointment today as the staff in the nursing home have flu and are therefore unable to come and assess my brother on their suitability of the nursing care that he needs. This will undoubtedly put back his transfer to next week but I'd sooner that than him catching flu

Much to my amazement and totally unprompted, two days ago he remembered that he smoked and wanted to go outside for a cigarette . He's still bed-bound after 4 months so it's out of the question at the moment and not something that I would like to encourage but he's clearly going to be determined as he remembered again tonight ............ another encouraging sign.

Fred ....... I am very sorry to hear about your sister-in-law's condition and I hope that she is able to make a fast recovery.
