Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 1,940 | Rob and i have been in Yorkshire for the last ten days ,and what a difference it has made.My whole outlook has brightened because for a short while i had a full support network in place,and this meant i felt much more able to cope.On Monday Rob ate a bowl of soup.On Tuesday he managed a scrambled egg as well as soup.Couple of bad days followed, but then again on Friday he ate some Cottage Pie(Ground beef and mash).Unfortunately we are in a bad spell again at the moment but i feel every time he takes a few steps forward ,he doesnt go so far back any more !

It does sound as though Rob is progressing somewhat even though slowly. I gather this from your earlier posts. Keep him on the straight and narrow and maintain the upper hand.

As a caretaker my hardest task was to keep tempting, pushing and caring without being a witch.
Hang in there, every day helps.
