Rest in Peace Dad

Bill Adams - 2015

Our lovely Dad, Bill Adams passed away peacefully this morning at around 05:30.
My sisters (Sue & Wendy) were with him through the night and I spoke to him on the phone yesterday afternoon.

Charlie and I visited him last week and spent some precious time together.

Update: Tuesday 26th May

Bill's continuing to recover well and on Saturday moved from St Peters to Clare House in Walton and has settled in very well. He would love to have some visitors and suggests you call ahead on his mobile to check for a good time.

Steve and John Jeremiah visited Bill today. He was a bit quiet but doing OK.

Here's a photo of the two of them together.

Bill: Sunday 3rd May

Dad had a much better day yesterday (Saturday). His voice returned more fully (had been a bit of croaky whisper) he ate much better and had some conversations on the phone and with visitors.

Sue's with him now (Sunday morning) with his good friend John Jeremiah and I'll be going in later on.

Here's a photo I took yesterday.

So here's hoping he has another good day today.

Update on Bill Adams for friends and family.

This is an update about my Dad, Bill Adams who is currently very ill in hospital and is intended for friends and family.

Currently (Saturday 2nd May 2015)

Bill is in St Peter's Hospital in Chertsey and has a very bad infection (sepsis) from a nasty skin ulcer.
He has been very weak for several days now and his body is having a big battle against the infection.
As one of the nurses said, it's like when you have a dose of flu and are weak, feverish and can hardly sit up.
This is why he has been out of contact over the last week-ten days or so. He has received many messages (phone & email) which we have passed on to him.

He has great care, the right drugs and good pain relief.

The medical staff have advised us it is a very serious condition for a man of his age and background health problems.
Obviously we are all very concerned for him and close family and friends are here and around now and in recent days.

Visiting

The medical staff have advised us that he needs rest and should not have too many visitors.

If you are thinking of visiting it would be best to coordinate a bit with either Sue or myself
