Family first and always, my thoughts are with you.

[phydeaux]

Good heavens. Bernard, stop worrying about us.10 hours a day at the hospital is going to wear you out and when you get home you aren't going to want to spend time here. I hope and pray that they can find out what's causing this and take steps to cure it rapidly. I know that coming from an American, the phrase "Thoughts and Prayers" means very little, but for what it's worth, you and your wife have ours

Sending along my thoughts, positive vibes and prayers for you, her and family. Nobody will mad at the lack of progress as family comes first

Sending best wishes to your wife, Bernard.

Thanks guys, They still have not got to the bottom of the cause of her problems but her speech did get a little better today, its a little thing but an improvement, she can make herself understood a bit better now. They have rulled out her brain Tumor that was removed in 2019 as scans show it has not regrown, and her throat is ok they cannot find anything wrong with it, just waiting for a MRI scan to make sure she did not have a mini stroke, but there feeling is that its not that, but she was transered to the neurology ward today, so hoping they will get to the bottom of it.

Thank you for keeping us updated. You are important to us and so is she.

My God bless you and praying for speedy recovery and best wishes.

well my wife is still in hospital and is at last allowed to eat a pureed diet plus food through a pipe into the stomach, but in the odd 10 mins in the morning and evening before bed during the last 7 days i have managed to make up the 8th container set for UMAX

[Timbit]

Do they have any idea of what is causing her issues?

Do they have any idea of what is causing her issues?

Today after all the blood tests and scans of the last week, X-Rays, MRI & CT , they have found nothing abnormal, they have her fitted with a feeding tube now and she has just been cleared to eat pureed food plus arificially thickened water etc, one of the doctors today stated that the consensus of opinion was that this is a delayed side effect from the stroke she had on 1st Nov 2019 whilst in recovery after a brain tumor removal operation (which was a sucess i might add) they were due to discuss it again this afternoon just passed at there consultation meeting, so i guess i may know tommorrow, she has regained a bit of her speech and is a bit easier to understand now,

well keep Praying

I cannot remember what it was called but we have a diagnosis for Steph's illness, its a problem with the back of the mouth and top of the throat which means that in order not to suffer multiple lung infections for the rest of her life as well as the possibility of dying due to some food lodging in her windpipe and killing her she needs to have a tube put from the ouside of her tummy into the stomach and be fed through that permanently, she needs to wait another 8 days which is when all of the consultants meet up again to discuss all the patients under their care where they will decide if she can be accepted for the proceedure, in the meantime she is being fed via a tube down the throat directly to her stomach.
