| Just read the following post on MHF , not good news about Uncle Norm .
Hello ladies and gentlemen, cousin Katie here. My mum has asked me to post an update on here with regard to my dad, uncle Norm. Unfortunately it is not good news. Last Saturday mum and I took dad to A&E due to his lack of energy and a slight difficulty breathing. The thinking was that he was in need of a blood transfusion. This was not the case, it turned out to be a chest infection. After lots and lots of tests a decision was made to admit dad and administer "industrial bleach" antibiotics and oxygen with the hope of getting rid of the infection. Dad got progressively worse, it was rediagnosed as pneumonia and he was moved, daily, to different wards. On Wednesday mum got very assertive and demanded that more was done due to dad still not responding to the treatment. He was put on more antibiotics, given a blood transfusion and made to use a nebuliser. He was taken for a CT scan this morning to see what is definitely happening in dad's chest. They thought it would be one of three things; the infection, blood clots, or the cancer had spread. Unfortunately as I'm sure you've realised, dad doesn't do things by halves and has all three. The priority now is to keep dad comfy and pain free. Although it is not imminent, there is no happy ending for dad and it will be soon. At the moment he is too unwell to transport to the hospice but he is being moved to the oncology ward. I'm sorry that I have to be the bearer of this news and thank each and everyone of you out there for your support during this time. Mum and I have taken great comfort from your comments. Thank you. Cousin Katie xx | |

God Bless |

For the people that never knew Norm , he was the one that introduced me to Motor Roamers ,later metamorphosed into Motor-Homers , where I became friends with lots of great people that I have met and other I have yet to meet | |

| Aunty Sandra has just posted on MHF I cannot believe I am posting this but they say Norman can come home sometime soon. His blood sugars have started to stabilise and his breathing has vastly improved. They have stopped his antibiotics and changed medication. As our nephew,visiting from Canada, says "I can go home happy." He saw him on Friday, then today, yand cannot believe the change in him! Katie and I are happy bunnies tonight!
