Hello mums
I'm feeling really low. This last week has been an absolute nightmare. My elderly aunt was rushed into hospital, we thought it was something akin to a stroke and the day in hospital was one of the worst of my life, she was really confused, shouting, we gave her a sip of water and she held it in he rmouth, I stayed with her and went in the ambulance to another hospital that specialises in stroke care, thank God she hadn't had a stroke, but she was really confused for the last four days or so.
Thankfully my Aunty is making a good recovery but this entire situation seems to be turning me into a nervous wreck,
This morning she couldn't remember who her sister was. The doctor then came along to update us.
She's been diagnosed with viral meningitis, so she's recovering but will have bouts of confusion for the next 4-6 weeks,
Even though this is good news and she's on the mend, I feel like my nerves have been torn to pieces over the last few days. I was with her in the middle of the night as she was trying to bite me and chew her blankets. I keep trying to remind myself that she's getting better
My husbands parents have been taking care of our daughter since Friday and they've been sending photos of her having a lovely time.
I'm missing her terribly and can't help weeping. I've slept on a hospital chair for three days and now I'm on my period and feeling even worse.
I'm knackered.
I can't wait for my Aunty to come home on two days and I can't wait to see my daughter. I miss my life,
Sorry I just needed to share all of this! Xxx
