Though I'd jot some notes down on how mum is at the moment.
Since being taken poorly last weekend (on the 10th) she has been a guest of the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital. In truth she had shown signs of taking a bit of a slump in form for the a week or so before the Dr was called. The staff at Sheringham were particularly concerned that she had maybe suffered a stroke. She was breathless and unresponsive. The doctor called an ambulance straight away - though it took 3 hrs to arrive!
DG and I went to visit the next day and saw a quite content, though clearly weak mum. No hint of Saturday mornings ailments though the assessment unit put her on oxygen and sent her to Dunstan ward where she still is some 8 days later. I did visit again on Wednesday after mum had been sick during the night. Again she seemed ok when I was there - a bit sleepy, but still with-it. I kind of expected that she would be quickly back in Sheringham but the Hospital won't send her back while they think she needs assistance of oxygen to help her through the day.
Cousin Margret visited on Friday but it seems that mum was a bit confused, rude even. Seems she's not too sure why or where she is. They say she's on her regular medication but her behaviour is a bit erratic. Billy visited her yesterday and had a similar experience. I do hope she is ok. I was hoping to get along to visit tonight but...... It's always easier not to - we've been so busy with work and sorting the girls out and I was expecting to hear that she was on her way home. Today they said again that as there has been little change, she is likely to stay for a day or so more. I'll try and get to Norwich in the next few days and post again - hopefully with better news
