Thank you everyone for your support and so kind words, mum not home with me Gigglemore, but "home" at her CH with familiar sounds and people she knows who really do care about her. She seems reassured and comfortable, definitely more relaxed not to be in hospital anymore. We are spending as much time as we can there, but she is sleeping more and more now , although we're sure she knows we are there, just choosing to open her eyes , or not, which is her choice. The palliative team have visited and pain relief is on hand if needed. As you say Craigmaid this is the waiting time, but hopefully she is unaware what has happened to her, just that she is being looked after by people who know her and treat her with kindness and respect, what we all want and need at the end of the day. 2jays, thank you, it makes a lot of sense now. Group hug to everyone tonight.
