Monday 23rd August

It has been a difficult few days but Jane seems a lot better now. When she came out of hospital last Wednesday she didn't seem much better than when she went in. So much so, that I called her GP on Friday and she spent an hour with Jane on Saturday morning. Since then Jane has gradually perked up. She spent a little time downstairs yesterday and quite a lot of time down today. That said, we didn't make it to see the oncologist today and will try again on Thursday.

Some of Jane's symptoms are caused by the calcium leaving her bones and entering her bloodstream. And, of course, she has only just overcome a severe chest infection. So, may be we shouldn't be surprised that she has been so low. I suppose she has also got used to the security of hospital routine and coming out left her feeling rather insecure.

Well, there is not a lot else to tell. Lydia and Leo have both been here to spend time with her and quite a few friends have come by to say hello. If you do plan to pop in it's probably best to give us a call first - if Jane keeps improving we might just take off somewhere.

God bless you and thank you for all your prayers and good wishes
