Jules' Weblog

Jules was less than willing to get up this morning, wanting to stay in bed, asleep. We even go told to go

We went and had a chat with Dr Lucas and he's said there is a noticable change in Jules condition. It's more noticable by the staff who've been away for a week or more. And it's not good news It's apparent from the headaches, her tiredness, and other things, that the tumour is still making progress, slowly. The good news is that he doesn't think the prognosis of Easter is likely, mainly because Jules hasn't been getting worse quickly. But he did say it was still difficult to say whether it would be mid-year or Autumn time when things come to a close We then had a chat with the nurses, commenting on how well she's got on at the Hospice so far, and what we could do to maybe get her home for a day sometime soon.

By the time we got back into see Jules lunch had arrived, and not surprisingly she was wide awake. Her appetite has rocketed since they put her on the stronger dose of steroids, as the pictures reveal

Lunch is served, and despite her eyesight, she was determined to eat it herself. "Spoonfed", she said to Janet, shortly before giving her the look

"Cuppa tea" and lunch is over

Yes, that is 3 cookies in Jules hand She went on to demolish several more, as well as some jelly babies, mini-muffins, and half a Tolberone

We nipped home after that to get the bedding, and sort out some shopping ready for pizza night But when we got back Jules had decided she didn't want me staying over again, so, instead, I stayed a little longer and left when she'd dozzed off

Pucker up

Fast asleep, I could've stayed there for ever
