Jeanette's health

Last Thursday, Peter asked me to take Jeanette to Milnerton Medi-clinic emergency as her health has been declining and we were all becoming very concerned. After numerous blood tests, X-rays and examinations the doctor told me that there was no medical reason for her to be admitted to a hospital bed. The symptoms that he had observed during his examinations could be directly attributed to her Chronic Dementia. He said that the family should understand that her health and cognisance will continue to decline in the months and years ahead; eventually she is going to require 24 hour nursing care.
Our cousins Elize and Corrie arrived from Johannesburg on Thursday evening to visit Jeanette and Peter for the weekend. It was a wonderful tonic for Peter to see them again but Jeanette was not well enough to appreciate their visit. It was so refreshing for Ronnie and I to catch up with their news and to have their additional ‘shoulders’ to lean on during this difficult time!
