I often read but never usually post on this thread but can’t ignore gillys message. Thinking of you and praying you’ll find all the strength you need. X

Have been watching anxiously for news of Gilly and, like everyone else, have added her to my prayers. Am amazed at how genuinely concerned we are about someone we only know through GN and how concerned we are for the whole family.

Just popped in hoping for news from Gilly
I am so sorry to read your news Gilly.
I send you hugs.
You are made of strong Northern Stuff, as is your DH, hang in there lass we are all rooting for you both.

Thank you for the update gillybob, when you are in such a challenging place, it's thoughtful.
I think tears are a bottomless well, reflecting our bottomless love for our special people.
I am certain that loved ones can hear us talking to them, on some level, even if they are not conscious. It must be so familiar and must offer them comfort.

Wishing everyone a good day and good thoughts to all facing challenges.

Oh gillybob like everyone here I wish I could properly reach out to you and make everything better.
We never run out of tears for our loved ones and I'm sure we're all shedding a few tears too, especially those of us who have been through this.
My thoughts are with you.

Urmstongran Fri 18-Oct-19 09:27:20

Hold tight gillybob we are all with you in spirit lady. Your husband will know you are close by willing him to pull through. It was kind of you (your natural self) to come on here to update us all. As Maw says, miracles DO happen.

I don’t usually post on this thread but do read it everyday.
Just wanted to add my thoughts and prayers for gillybob and family to everyone else’s.

Sending you hugs gillybob, thinking of you.x

Gilly just what others have said and remember we are there with you supporting you both. Sending gentle hugs

gillybob. Intensive care is indeed a lonely place. Try to pop out to the hospital canteen and at least keep hydrated. If you can eat nothing else force yourself to eat a banana if you can - a superfood. Holding your husband’s hand and being there for him is everything just now. I send you both love and prayers. And thank you for updating us.

Good morning,

It's brightening up a bit here after a dull, damp start.

gillybob, thank you for posting, which must be hard for you right now. Mr gillybob will be able to hear you, so keep talking, but also make sure you try to get some rest yourself. You are in my thoughts. ?

Mick have a lovely time with your sister this weekend.

To all who are feeling unwell, I hope you soon feel better. ?

Marydoll it sounds like you've had quite a busy time with your GD - I think you'll be in need of some rest and recuperation, and maybe a nip of something tonight! ??

NannyJan53 Fri 18-Oct-19 08:57:24

Oh gillly this is so upsetting to hear. Hugs and love for you and your dear husband.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

gilly my love to you x

Hope everyone has a good day x

EllanVannin Fri 18-Oct-19 08:53:52

Oh poor Gilly. I've just seen your post. Keep talking to DH as he'll hear you at some point and it'll give him encouragement as well. Sometimes they can hear you even though they can't speak.
So sorry this is happening to you and you must try and stay strong. Have a drop of chicken soup ( Heinz ) because you won't feel like eating though you must keep going yourself.

I send my love to you. Please try and look after yourself as DH needs you and while he's in ICU he's healing so you must do as well.xx Thoughts to the rest of the family.

Annapops Fri 18-Oct-19 08:52:37

Sending a hug Gilly. Everyone's thoughts are with you. X

Susan56 Fri 18-Oct-19 08:51:37

Good morning from cloudy Spain. Urmstongran home on Thursday, pleased to hear you haven't got the heating on yet! Gilly thoughts and prayers flowers

kittylester Fri 18-Oct-19 08:46:31

Just sending massive hugs gilly. Come back if it helps but dont if it won't. Just know we are all here for you! brew

Lins1066 Fri 18-Oct-19 08:43:38

Oh gilly such mixed feelings, glad to hear from you but sorry that your husband is so ill. Rest assured, he knows you're there. Glad to hear that he is getting such good care, take care of yourself too.

EllanVannin Fri 18-Oct-19 08:43:09

Yes,dragonfly, it's been reduced. I take it at night. In a strange way I'm being positive about it because when I first began taking it in 2007 I think it amounted to 22mg's a week and now, to date as from last night it's going to be 16mg's for the next 2 weeks.
Which means that if I'm taking more than is necessary and stays reduced, that things are levelling themselves out until I only need the minimum. I hope so anyway. x

GrannyGravy13 Fri 18-Oct-19 08:42:01

gillybob take care of yourself, talk to mr.gillybob he knows you are by his side. ?????

annsixty Fri 18-Oct-19 08:39:12

Oh Gilly our love and sincerest prayers are with you both.

MawB Fri 18-Oct-19 08:38:02

Dear Gillybob if you have had time to look, you will see how worried your GN friends have been about you.
Many of us will have an idea of where you are coming from and you are in the right place, he can hear you and will know you are there.
Keep talking to him reassuring him and telling him you love him. If you can get some sleep -do- you can’t afford to be ill or have an accident through our own fatigue.
From my experience, tears are a bottomless well but we cry because of our love ?
Keep strong, miracles can happen - love MB

Good morning from rainy Colchester.
Dropping in to send love and hugs to Gillybob and her family.

Marydoll Fri 18-Oct-19 08:35:09

gilly, no words can express how we all feel.
Sorry to hear your sad news. All your GN friends are right at your shoulder, lean on us. ? x
