Not Good
I'd be kidding to make out that things are okay, as they're not. Jules is getting worse day by day now. Tiredness is setting in regularly, and she's stopped eating all together. Fluids are restricted to nutrient milk shakes, and juices.
She's still got her humour, smiling and laughing at what she hears, but her talking has all but disappeared, a faint squeak being all she can muster.
I'm off back over there now, so don't expect regular postings as I'm going to be home less and less. It's best to leave a comment as it'll be forwarded to my phone, or give us a shout. And don't worry about popping over, just be prepared to wait as lots of people are popping in now.
Jules seemed happier yesterday morning, and when she realised that Spitfire was with us, she soon perked up 
As before, Spitfire soon made his home up on the window ledge, watching "breakfast" fly by
And Jules kept trying to keep him up on the bed, but he was having none of it
There was a new nurse there too, although he looked a bit more like a butcher than a carer
Today, Jules friends from her old workplace popped by, Jill and Betty.
Jules seemed a little more awake in the afternoon when they'd arrived, and managed a little more of the drinks. The bag on her shoulder is to support her neck, as the muscle strength has all but gone now, the more tired she gets, the more her head slips sideways.
