Home Again

Appan has become very weak mainly because of the removal of the fluid from the pleural cavity every other day. He has also getting blood transfusions regularly now.
B called to say that he was becoming weaker and weaker and that his condition did not seem very good. He also said that appan was asking to see me. But that there was no need for me to hurry home but be ready. I am planning to go home next week, if tickets are available. All flights are full due to school holidays and onam festival. And there is the problem of my son’s missing classes.
I told amma about this plan to come home and she sounded frightened saying, “ No, No there is no hurry, don’t come.” She has not yet come to terms with how serious Appan’s condition is. She seems to be the only person with some hope left.
