Thank you all so much for all your kind comments,
MIL has finally been moved to the hospice,
we have been to visit her and she looks so much
more comfortable already. We are looking at a
timescale of day's only, but the change in her
treatment has been incredible, she has pain relief
via a pump, the right amount of pillows, an extra
blanket on her cold feet & unlimited ice cream as
this is all she can eat now.
I had a bowl of soup at 10:30 yesterday morning &
then nothing else 7:30, we spent a couple of hours
with MIL, an hour with the staff who are speaking
to FIL and encouraging him to visit, they have
assured him that MIL needs him and they have
offered BIL2 counselling, hubby & I will
take him to visit at the weekend.
We drove home through a downpour of biblical
proportions, as soon as I'd dropped hubby home I
had to go back out to collect neighbour and drive
her to the vets to collect her dog, this took just
over 2 hours, I suppose as the vet is charging
£2490.64 she thought she'd best make the
appointment last as long as possible.

And isn't it great that your MIL will get wonderful loving care and you will all get great support without having to give the finance a second thought. I think I'll slip a little something into our local hospice collecting tin today while I am out as a little prayer for her.
Sending good vibes and hugs - hang on there! Sybil xxx
Hospices are such wonderful caring places.
Take Care
Glad to hear MIL is now in the hospice where the care is appropriate for her needs. Take care of yourself as you help everyone else. Catriona
So pleased to hear your MIL is comfortable at long last, thing of you all xxx
I would assume hospice in the U.K. is similar to here in the US. They are a God sent,but they put BIL in his place. They will even offer consulting after. Good luck and I am glad your MIL is getting the best care she can. Cheryl
From Margie in Toronto - so pleased to hear this - it must be such a relief to you all. A Hospice is truly a Godsend and the people who work in them are true angels. Good luck to you all.
Hugs to you all. I am glad your MIL is comfortable in hospice.
