I think that the doctors give you the worst case scenrio, it can only get better then.
As to a rest, stepson is flying home from Australia tomorrow to see Dorothy naturally, so I suppose I am going to have to board him for 3 weeks.
Got to stock up cupboards this morning as I have let things get low lately for some reason!

Hospital says that Dorothy had a comfortable night.
Just collected Dorothy's son who has flown into our local airport from Sydney, thankyou KLM for starting this service.
As soon as he is showered and changed we will go and see her. I'm sure this is going to really buck her up.
Posted my letter to the CH listing the sequence of events and what, in my opinion, caused them. Copied her Care Manager and CQC. It should start hitting the fan soon!

Good for you, Keith.
I continue to hold you and Dorothy in my thoughts. Miracles do happen.
Glad son is there for her - that counts a whole lot too! xx BE

Wow, when she saw and heard her son, her eyes opened, she smiled and spoke to him.
She has hardly stopped talking/mumbling all day. Even tapped her feet in time to some music we played.
Said she was hungry (she hasn't eaten since Saturday!) and the nurse is going to try her on ice cream or yoghurt tonight.
What a happy day.

lovely to hear things are turning around!
We had been told a couple of years ago that mum was dying when she was admitted to hospital with dehyrdation. She looked extremely unwell but once they set up a drip she was much better. She's still going strong and celebrated her birthday yesterday.

Am really pleased it's turning around for you. I am sure her son's visit will spur her recovery, and gladden you both.
Take care
Thinking of you.

What a difference a day makes!
We are all so used to descent and drama and trauma, it is such a pleasure for all of us when things go UPHILL. Good for you, all of you. Enjoy and I hope the ice-cream goes down a treat.
That's wonderful news, love really is a wonderful healer, isn't it? So glad she has family with her, and even more glad that she's rallying. Go Dorothy!!
