still no definate news as yet about the move, but we r still assuming it will be on 28th. gom tried 2 get rodney 2day, but he'd only just got back 2 the office after a few days off so he couldn't tell us anything.

Had a frustrating night last night - gom as been advised to try to start using an 'independance aid' instead of getting up in the night to use the commode as it's believed that the number of times that he's getting up is possibly causing his problems with weakness and spasticity in the late afternoon/evenings, but he couldn't get on with it so we're going to leave it until he goes 2 stay with his stsister so that she can help him - she has a nursing background although she's in a a 'back room' field now.

We're also working on getting him to drink much more - he wasn't getting anywhere near enough to the recommended 2 ltrs which was also probably contributing to his problems. Have managed to find some 33cl drink bottles so I can make up some drink and am trying to get him to drink one of these about every 90 minutes (500 ml wasn't manageble, but 330ml should be) and being in bottles it's less likely to end up all over the floor if he knocks it over :(
