Had a phonecall from my Dad at 7.15 this morning to say that Mum was taken into hospital late last night. She was having trouble breathing when they went to
bed, so Dad called the paramedics and they whisked her off to the local A & E unit. They have diagnosed pneumonia, and got her on oxygen. It's really
strange cos I went to visit them yesterday afternoon, and she seemed OK. Dad, bless him, got a cab back home in the early hours, rather than phone me for a
lift. I have told him to go back to bed and try and get some rest, and I will pick him up after lunch and we will go and visit her. I know how magical
Sheenie vibes are, so some sent Mum's way would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you all for your support and kind wishes for my Mum. I took Dad to visit her this afternoon and was shocked at the difference 24 hours can make. When I saw her Thursday at home she was fine, but today she looks really poorly and her breathing is not good. The doctor has put her on antibiotics, and diuretics to reduce the fluid in her lungs, and she is having oxygen. Poor Dad is so worried. I am hoping she will have a better night and that we will see an improvement tomorrow. Rosemary xx
Monday: I am relieved to say that Mum is improving slowly. She is looking better, although her breathing is still not right. Hopefully we should have a better idea today how things are progressing, as she should get a visit from the doctor - no-one about at the weekend other than a duty doc and the nursing staff. Dad is coping quite well, bless him, but insists on staying the whole 5 hours of visiting time, which is quite tiring. Your hugs are much appreciated.
