It’s been a while since I posted a new update to my blog. Most of you will understand why. I thought I’d bring you up to date with where we’re at.

Mum remains in hospital. She was admitted on July 10th for a week but due to the complications that developed following major heart surgery, we find ourselves still here. The fact that we are here so many months later is of course frustrating but in my last update on this subject (back in July) mum was still in Intensive Care so we would have taken this option.

She fought for her life and eventually came round after many weeks asleep in ICU. She has been on a couple of different wards since then and she’s still fighting. She’s no longer critical but she’s poorly and uncomfortable – although some days I can take her out of hospital for a few hours. Much depends on how she’s feeling. But following the events of July, although she can ony take small steps, they are massive to me.
