Ian turns 77

ByCPR

So the long awaited tests were run and Ian had to spend his 77th birthday in hospital!

Thankfully Fiona organised chocolate cake and coffee! Despite having to be in hospital, Ian retained his smile and braved the blood withdrawel and EMG test. Day 2 was the Brain MRI and day 3 the Dr went through the report. Unfortunately MND could not be ruled out. Ian has been discharged and is once again at home with Fiona where they will spend the weekend celebrating their birthdays, Fiona turns 71 on Sunday! It has been an exhausting week and we trust they can take a moment to rest.
