Penny April 2010

Wednesday 14th April 2010 

Penny is bright, eating well and able to get up and walk about a little. We have a chair in another bedroom that she can sit in to get a different view on the worlkd.

Yesterday we had a survey done for a stair lift. Penny's hope is that if she can get down stairs we may be able to go out in the car, maybe do some shopping, sit by the river or even go for a meal. It would be lovely for her to have a few more chances to get out of the house. Please pray for strength for that. She is eating well and is very bright in herself.

If you have been receiving Penny's updates you will know that she is resolved to dying. The only question is when and how. Clearly our prayers have to be for minimum pain and for the best quality of life in the meantime. The last thing she needs is to spend months and months wasting away in bed.

One sure sign though that Penny is on the decline is her lack of concentration. She is hardly reading these days and certainly no longer gets through two books a week. She is not sleeping well and gets some back ache from lying around all the time.

If you live within travelling distance she would love to see you, but be sensitive to the fact that she may only cope with half an hour or so before she is too tired.
