It has been a long week, but the Lord has been faithful and we have known a remarkable sense of heaven-granted peace in, and among, the family. I am so grateful to God that Dr Morison thought to suggest that the girls came back early, as I don't think Vera and I could have managed on our own. As it is, we have so far declined the offered external night-care and managed the night-shifts between us.
Since the last post earlier this week, Sue has been asleep/unconscious most of the time. There have been a couple of "events" (an incorrectly-fitted syringe pump, which meant no medication for 12 hours,and quite a disturbed night... and a kinked-therefore-blocked catheter tube....) but all has calmed down again now. The nurses have been in every day to give Sue a wash, and Dr Morison called again today to see how we were.
He thinks it will be hours rather than days now - and then, although he would never express it in those terms, and it is not up to him, Sue will be called home to glory, "to be forever with the Lord".

When the heavens shall ring, and the angels sing,
At Thy coming to victory,
Let Thy voice call me home, saying "Yet there is room,
There is room at My side for thee."
My heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus
When Thou comest and callest for me.
Trusting that you may all know joy, peace and comfort at this time.
"For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain " Phil.1:21
With love and our prayers

Yesterday at Evening Prayer the focus was on the people who walked (and wait) in darkness - and the Great Light that shines for them, for us...
The light of faith too is shining very brightly from your home as you wait - holy ground indeed.
Love and blessings
