To echo Dave Swan's post, my mum and I have also "been down a similar path" this year, so I know how tough and worrying it can all be and, as he said, how things turn out in the long run a lot less scary than they appear now.

This comes with much love and all good wishes to your mum for a speedy recovery, and for strength for you on the hospital visiting marathon - plus a lovely, happy recovery time for you once mum has recovered !

With every good wish,
