This Is Hard To Write

Firstly I will cover off the issue of visits to see Judy, per the note I put on Facebook we have been advised by her head doctor that we should limit the amount of visitors Judy sees at the moment as her energy is sapped if she has too many visitors. Please contact me on my mobile (for those that don't have it I am sure you can contact somebody who does to save me putting it up on the net) if you would like to visit Judy as I can manage when people come to minimise the effect on Judy. Also for those that would like to visit please be aware that visits should be limited to 5 mins so as to not be to arduous for Judy.

In regards to what occurred yesterday as I am writing this on Wednesday morning she was moved from Westmead hospital to a specialist Palliative Care Unit at Mt Druitt Hospital. This facility caters for her care more specifically and provides a less hospital like environment where it is easier for the family to visit.

In respect to her condition we have been advised that the doctors are happy with the progress Judy's heart rate has made but I was pulled aside by one of the senior doctors at the centre who has provided care to Judy previously on her journey who provided me with an update. Unfortunately he advised me that they are no longer treating her disease but working on keeping her comfortable and he feels that she has deteriorated dramatically since he last saw her. The end result of this is medically and logically her disease will get worse as time progresses and her body will start closing down. When pushed on what type of time frame he said it could be days but at the most weeks but the nurses are very good at noticing the signs of progression and wil keep us updated.

While that is the logical and medical side please continue to pray and send your positive energy as while their is life their is hope of survival for which I still hold hope even though the logical side says it's unlikely. My prayer is that she wakes one day free of the melanoma in her heart as a start which medically would be a miracle but you never know.

I don't really know what else to tell other than NEVER, NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP.
