The doctor came in the morning and hinted that treatment may stop tomorrow. They X-rayed his chest and did a blood test. The infection level had come down to 63 (from 177 on Friday) but the X-ray was very bad. It all looked grey. I spoke with the doctor briefly in the afternoon and asked if we could speak to them in the morning as it was uncle Alex's funeral in the afternoon. She said that was fine and we could meet at 9.30. I cried as I spoke to her and she was lovely back. She said she was so so sorry there was nothing more they could do. She said he's a very ill man.
Dad came round for a bit in the afternoon and was talking to me for quite a bit.
Tina came and he had a lovely moment with her telling her how much she's gone through and how strong she was and what a lovely woman she is. He was saying god bless you to her and clasping her hand.
Afterwards he was asking me how long it will take before he gets better. I was saying that I didn't know but reassuring him that he has lots of medication to help him relax and stop him being in pain.
He was saying to the nurse that he hadn't gone insane or lost his mind.
He told me he'd been through 24 hours of hell.
He was paranoid about me conning him about his medicine. Thinking I wasnt letting him have it or was making him wait too long for it. I made him look at me and promised him I was being honest with him about it. After that he took my hand and then Cuddled me and kissed me and told me how much he loved me.
He was asking the nurse how long he'd be in hospital for, she was very diplomatic and said she wasn't sure and told him that if some of his treatment stopped he could go to a step down bed. She didn't imply that he may not move.
He told me how much he loved me and Natalie and how proud he was of how strong I'd been despite everything I'd been through. He said he'd never have got through everything if it wasn't for me.
I told him how proud I was of him. I showed him the screensaver picture of us on my phone and told him I was always looking at it. It seemed to make him very happy. He said it was fantastic.
He said to the nurse that he was one of the most intelligent people she'd ever meet apart from me.
After that he slept and slept but seemed very peaceful.
