Hi Chrissy and Iris,
Thank you both for your very kind responses. My mum is doing better. Today, for the first time in weeks, I recognized her as my mum. The stomach drain and wound drains were taking out. She smiled and so did we. And yes Chrissy I think we are a sturdy lot. Even though she is making progress at this time I know the odds and unfortunately they aren't promissing. But as you've shown me, enjoying every day that we have together is worth living.
At this time I can only hope to take her home before the 30th of June. My mum and dad will be married for 45 years then. It would be great to celebrate that at home.
Thanks again for your responses. I wish you both the very very best.
Pat
