Hi All,
Myself and mum were going out to get our hair cut on Friday. Mum said she was feeling breathless, it seemed to be very hot in her flat, it didn't make it any better opening the windows. Just seemed to be no air.
We just got outside of her sheltered flat and she collapsed, in to my arms. Thank goodness a lady was passing and was able to help me. Rang 999 and went with her to hospital.
She has pneumonia and a clot in her lungs from the x- ray they gave her. They have to give her a CT scan, but can't at the moment, as she is on oxygen and has 3 drips giving her medications etc.
I am so glad I was with her when it happened. I gave the nursing staff the booklet with mum's picture on the front called This is Me, which I filled in all about mum, her Dementia etc.
Its a worrying time at the moment, but I am sure with plenty of care, time and love from the family she will come through this illness.
