Dm was starting to get used to the home about 6 weeks in, was confused but fairly cheerful and liked some of the carers. But on Saturday night she collapsed and was sent to hospital where a CT scan showed a massive bleed in her brain. She didn't, and will not regain consciousness. She's just being kept comfortable in hospital while we wait for the end.
The first night I stayed next to her bed hoping to be there when she died, but realised after that it could be days or even more than a week. So all I can do is visit regularly and try to carry on as normal in between. It's horrible. The hospital staff have been very kind though.
I just wanted to let that out. I'm playing it down to my teens. They know she's in hospital but think it's just more of the usual. No need to make them suffer too until it's over.
