Just had latest Movember update from son, who is trying to cheer me up

sonny still yummy xxx

[ginap.123]

just got in, a really stressy, emotional day. Had a phone call from Yve at the hospital to say that mum had deteriorated seriously & that the doctors have been doing tests & weren't happy with the results. They have got her on the maximum oxygen/medication that she can have & is showing no improvement.

At about 3.00pm they called Yve up from her office & told her to gather the family at the hospital as things were looking bad. The docs said that none of the tests were looking good, that they would do one more batch of blood tests, & if no improvement (& they didn't expect any) then we would have to make some 'decisions'.

Tests were re-done at 4.00p.m & her doc (who is lovely) was so excited as she is beginning to show some improvement. It's hard though, as she is fully concious & knows everything that is happening & is understandably frightened & exhausted as she is to frightened to go to sleep. She feels she won't wake up again (which is a possibility),

She is in a serious vacumn sealed oxygen mask, so we can't hear her properly when she talks, & wired up to loads of monitors etc.

We were sent home as us being there was keeping her awake & she kept trying to talk, which they didn't want her to do. She needs to conserve her energy.

So once again we're waiting for another take-away to be delivered

Oh Gina. All I can do is send you a big hug.xx

[stan3502]

Gina so sorry you and your family are having to deal with all this .Your poor Mum must be so scared.Will keep you all in my prayers through the night and will hope things improve tomorrow for you.

CG love that your littlie is so brave and very intelligent to have worked out about power cuts at 3 (mine also knew all about them as they happen so often being this high up)

Suspect with these high winds I may also end up in the black tonight

I'm so sorry Gina, I can imagine you want to be with Mum every spare minute you have, it must be so hard for you to have had to go home 😞

obviously it in Mums best interest that you were ........ but so hard on you & your family 😞

i hope tomorrow tests show an even bigger improvement for you all :-x

[merc1_clocks]

Oh Gina..what a time you are having 😞

I hope your mum shows even more signs of improvement. Sleep & rest are the best thing for her, she must be so frightened.

Try & have a good sleep yourself, you need to take care of YOU  :-x

[stan3502]

Morning all.

Hugs for those who need and want them.:-x

Hope things are better for mags and Gina's mums today.

RDW hope you got some rest last night.

Well apart from the scattered garden furniture you would'nt know we had a storm last night as it is sunny and bright here today 🙂

Anyone got plans for the weekend  ??

[ilove2patch]

We have our big SW Quilters Xmas meeting at Exeter Racecourse tomorrow. The storms are returning tonight down here so I am hoping we can get there. We had to turn back because of the weather last time.:-( Cant see any damage outside. I will have a better look later.

[huggles1253]

Hope the weekend means one less thing to juggle (work)  for those with Mum problems. Tomorrow's weather looks awful in the South! Hope it improves before we are on that boat next weekend. 😮

Afternoon

Just slept for 11 hours as my sister arrived yesterday to give me a break.

Remarkably though, after the behaviour on Wednesday (agitated and aggressive, totally confused) they transferred Mum to a specialist Ageing ward in another hospital. By the time we saw her there yesterday, she was much better. Still confused, but no agitation or aggression, but eating and drinking.

The nature of the illness is that there are good and bad patches, so this may just be a better patch.

My sister is going in this afternoon, and I will go tonight.

Having a little bit of me time.

Thank you for the birthday wishes - I feel like it was a bit of a blur/

Gina - fingers crossed for your Mum too.

[merc1_clocks]

mags...I'm so glad that you managed to catch up on your sleep...there's nothing worse than being totally exhausted & unable to think clearly  😐

Good news on your mum, & I'm glad you have your sister to help you :-x

Here's hoping Gina is faring as well :-x

[captainbovine]

here here my sentiments too:-x

Hiya Maggie...plaster (supposed) coming off on 30th Nov. Then I get the big boot and 4wks physio.....will it ever end?:^O
