Hi - just an update

Got a call from my partner's father this morning - my partner called him late yesterday evening from the hospital, and asked him to contact me to see if I could go to the hospital on Wednesday this week, after I have had my scan and seen the consultant.

His father has told me which hospital he is in now, and given me a telephone number to contact the hospital on and the name of two nurses that are looking after him, so that I can call them and let them know what time Wednesday I will be going to see him.

Am a little nervous, to go see him as I don't really know what to expect but will just take it in my stride and see how things go. At least we will have the scan to talk about, as it will give us something to focus the initial conversation on. I am sure once there it will be easier and the conversation will just flow naturally.

My partner's father told me that he had told his son, when he went to visit him last Wednesday, that I had said he was welcome to come home here when he was discharged from the hospital and his son seemed reassured by this.

His father had spoken to the nurse looking after his son, and they are not looking to discharge him over the next few weeks, they would rather that he go home for a day or so and then is able to go back to the hospital and then maybe go home again the following week for a couple of days and then go back. This is so that he can have continued support and also so that they can get his medication right and also so that they can put adequate support in place, when he does go home properly.

As it is going to be over Christmas and the New Year period, over the next few weeks I suppose it would be difficult to discharge him home with adequate support as it will be skeleton community staff over this period. If he is able to go home for a couple of days and then return and go home again, it would also give him the reassurance he needs that he still has the support available to him.

I will just have to see if he wants to come home here, or whether he has made plans with his family to go there.

His father isn't coming with me on Wednesday to see him, I am going on my own, I had mentioned to his father that I would be happy to go see his son for the first time with him, if it would make things easier for him. His father asked if I was ok going on my own, as he is busy taking his wife to hospital appointments.

His mother still hasn't been to see him in hospital, as she is too poorly, his father says, despite being well enough to go out this morning to friends for brunch.

However his sister is home from Australia this coming Friday and they are very close, so I feel this will help in lifting his spirits and maybe he will go to his parents to see her and spend time with her.

Well that's my news so far, will let you know how things go later in the week.

Please keep your fingers crossed that my stubborn little miss, will have turned head down for the scan on Wednesday instead of breach!

Many thanks for your continued support x
