Overcome

As in, we will overcome. . .hopefully David will make a good recovery. No one can tell us how long it will take, or how much of a recovery he will make, but we have to be positive.

Also overcome by fumes. My mum and I had to clean the shower in David's flat before we could use it. My poor mother cleaned with so much vim and vigour she was quite literally overcome - she felt most peculiar and had to lie down. I thought for a while she was going to end up in the hospital. In the end, she was fine, and reckoned she had been overcome by fumes from the cleaning products in such a confined space.

Not to mention how I feel - in shock I think! I am trying to sort out the practicalities and am praying very hard. He looks very poorly to me and I am not convinced a full recovery is possible. But for once I hope I am proved wrong.

We were back home at 10.30pm last night. I missed my boys but it was so hard leaving David.
