Post by: shirlton on March 27, 2009, 08:49:55

Hi everyone just to let you all know that I haven't dissapeared. My Mom was taken into hospital a week ago and haven't really been able to put me mind to anything. The allotment has had to go on hold for a while, therefore haven't had much to talk about.I was told yesterday that she has MRSA. and will be staying in hospital until she's better.I don't need to tell you all how I feel cos you all know how difficult it was for us to let her go into a home last September. Everyone keeps telling me that we did the right thing but I still think "what if".

Shirl, reality check here, me lovely :-\......had she been at home with you, she would still have succumbed to the illness which put her in hospital in the first place. And that's where she's contracted MRSA :(

Now then, gal....go visit your mum, spend what time you can with her, come home - and open the rosso and drink to her health 8)

And then have another ::) but the toast this time will be to yourself and Hunky Tone. As families go, she's got the pick of the best in you two :-*

Thankyou all so much for your kind words. They are so very much appreciated by both of us. I will tell Mom tomorrow that you all wish her well. It's nice to have friends like you.

Went to see Mom today and we told her about all the good wishes that we had for her. She was really happy. She then went on to tell us about the doctor who had been dancing with her.LOL. I'm sure she makes these stories up just to entertain us. She did seem a little better today. Thanks again for the support

Fingers crossed she's turned the corner Shirl 8)....mind you, if she's got a sense of direction like you'n'me, Lord knows where she'll end up! ;D

So glad your Mum seemed a wee bit better today lets hope she goes from strength to strength now. And wants to carry on dancing with the doctor, that has to be a good sign ;D

Moms still in till Thursday. They have a problem with the trots on the other half of the ward so keeping fingers crossed it doesn't spread or we won't be able to visit.

Sorry to hear about this Shirl, I know how much you worried about her before she went. Just a little tip, try taking in those little probiotic drinks for her each day. The ones which have the "active ingredient" in them (don't mean to advertise, but I mean Actimel!) it has been proven in one study to help with her immune system and even if it doesn't work like magic, it will not do her any harm. My Mum's GP said it works...

Cheers Katie, If it don't cure it won't harm will it.

Woo Woo!! good news shirl! glad to hear she's on the way home ;)

Post by: manicscousers on April 02, 2009, 18:53:50

wow, what a relief for you, glad mum's doing better..
as katie says, use the prebiotic drinks, part of our hospital automatically gives these to people who go in with sickness or diahorrea, so we were told by a nurse there :)
