Monday and Tuesday

Colin is still weak after the infectious "swine flu" from last week. He is not strong enough at the moment to obtain the results off the vent that he had done. This is frustrating and disappointing for him, and so his mood is low.
When his mood is low, mine plummets too. The long corridor towards Edenhall Ward gets longer everyday.
I dread to see Colin's face sometimes. If he is in a good frame of mind all is fine. If he is down, it is an uphill struggle to turn his mood. He is quiet and his eyes rarely turn to meet mine, just concentrating on that one tile above him.
The world goes on outside without him. But mine doesn't. All the menial tasks seem more menial by the day. I need Colin home. I need my family together again. But only time and Colin can heal that one. Today will be better.

    Thinking of you as always Charlotte, it must be so hard to keep your spirits up constantly. This is a set back, next week will be better. Love to Colin and tell him grumpiness is NOT allowed or it will be an endless round of Jilly Cooper books for him, I have them all- I can give them to you! The blog is brilliant, it has become my daily addiction and makes us all feel part of your journey. Love Amanda

    You do need your family around you, I feel selfish that I have mine around, they are all so well and there is nothing I can do to help, I feel useless as I am sure we all do. We can only hope and pray and wish you all the best of luck.
