Journalling, although this may or may not have an impact on R. If H is MLC, and I'm increasingly convinced he is, it could make him worse I suppose. I' just going to assume we're headed for another downward spiral in our R, then I won't be too disappointed when it happens.

H forwarded message from SIL this morning letting him know that MIL was rushed into hospital yesterday. She'll be in until at least tomorrow pending test results. MIL is over 3000 miles away in a different country so it's not like he can just drop everything and go see her. And the time difference might make it hard to get up to date information from SIL.

When I asked how he was taking it he just said "Rattled". I offered a sympathetic ear if he needs to talk - I know generally we should let them initiate contact but given the sitch with MIL me initiating is a far better option. I also reminded him to look after himself as MIL doesn't need to hear from SIL that H has made himself sick and ended up in hospital - he seemed to take it the way it was meant, not as nagging but as concern.
