Well a little update here,
Firstly the doctors are saying its not the spider thats the cause, we have long thought several species of spider were resposible for the flesh dying it seems the where the bite occures allows the bacteria to enter. I don't know about that.
Coroner has raised concerns as to why she was not wearing presure stockings, this concerned me at the time as every proceedure ive had they always put them on. There is probably a very good reason for it but it just adds to things.
We are fortunate that Robins mother and the son get on very well and always have done, they will all move into a bigger house together we are very pleased with this. We live in south east Victoria they in the N.T. maybe think Oregon/Texas.
My wife has read all your posts fellas and is grateful for the friendship extended, not sure if I mentioned her mother passed only 3 weeks ago so she's a little broken at the moment

Condolences on the lose of your M-I-L. A large number of us here on the Forum are at the age where lose of a parent is all to common.  Glad to hear that there is a grandmother close by to step in to tend the young ones.

This is stark reminder on how fragile life is. It can change in an instant without warning. I am hurt to read this not just because of your loss but also because of my oversight to truly appreciate what I have now.
My God be with all of your family.

Words always fail me at a time like this. Will be sending up prayers for all of you, especially the children.

Very sorry for your loss. Always sad to lose young people but it's especially hard when there are young children involved. Your family has my condolences.

Very sad news, johno. It does put things in perspective. I am 51 and visited my parents yesterday. I speak with my father on the telephone almost every night. I cannot imagine losing a parent as a young child.
May both families rally around your son and grandchildren for years to come.

Many thanks for the kind thoughts Graham.
Funeral is tomorrow but we wont be going up, the costs involved with Colleen spending the week up there before she died, giving the boy money to help him through etc its just beyond ud to go up again.
Been working to try and finish my small stock yards and just got done yesterday. Ewes will start lamb over the weekend I think, feeling pretty burnt out at the moment.

I'm good mate, as we all know these things tend to make you feel weary particularly as you get older.
Went to the reloading room and unpacked my latest find of ammo, will post some photos later on.
Appreciate the support you fellas offered here and by pm
Thanks
Johno
