Busy doing nothing

Talk about a manic day. I'm currently typing this blog on my iPhone while in bed. This morning seemed to shoot by, Alfie was in his "I want ALL your attention" moods so I spent all morning trying to entertain him. I think another tooth is about to break through again soon as he is constantly rubbing at his gums and biting things, including me! I had no sooner finally got him off for his nap when I got a phone call from my mum to tell me what ward her step-dad was on as he was taken into hospital last night. He has been partially blind for some time now but can see a little but he's been seeing things that aren't really there for a few weeks now. He hasn't been eating as he's been seeing imaginary insects crawling on his plate and swears that children have been running in and out the house playing. It turns out that he has cancer as well as general old age ailments and we have been warned that he could pass away any day.
Alfie was woken up by mums call so I then had one tired, cranky little boy for the rest of the day. When Dave got in from work we went to visit my dad, not something that I want to do nor enjoy but I go for Alfie. Then we needed to go food shopping. We finally sat down to eat our tea at 8:45pm Much later then usual but as soon as we had ate, it was time for bed, a later one for Alfie but an early one for Dave and I, Dave has to wake at 5am for work. A long, tiring but boring day.

I don't think I'll sleep though, I'm excited about tomorrow…

  3. Your right there. I'm not sure in his state right now that it's best for Alfie to see him that way but I feel like we should visit. I'm really struggling in what to do for the best.
