Suspected Sepsis

[trainboundfornowhere]

Apologies if this isn’t the right place to post but I’ve had less than five hours sleep due to the heat. Less than 20 minutes ago DH took a phone call from his dad to say his DM had been rushed to hospital with suspected sepsis so now he’s on his way to a hospital around an hour from us. His DM my DMIL has Neuroendocrine Tumours (NETs) and has been receiving palliative care from the MacMillan Nurses but she was still at home and in reasonable health all things considered and even cooked us dinner yesterday. It doesn’t quite feel real, I don’t know what to do or think and I have work at 2pm.

Well if she does have it, hospital is there's place for her.

If you can, try and get some sleep x

DH has just phoned and she’s got hours. They don’t think there is anything they can do.

Sorry to hear that @trainboundfornowhere.

Thinking of you and your DH. Hope his mum's passing will be pain free.

So sorry to hear that. Are you able to get to the hospital this morning to be with them?

Sadly I can’t be with them. I’m disabled and can’t drive. I’ll phone in sick today when a manager might be in at 7am and I promised to keep my phone on. DMIL turned 71 on Saturday but I was working till 10pm so we went round yesterday for dinner and a piece of cake. How fragile life is.

I am very sorry. Wishing your MIL a peaceful passing. What a shock for it to happen so quickly. Thinking of you all.

Thank you all. My DMIL died at around 10am so now like so many others we have a strange new world to navigate.

So sorry for your loss OP 💐

My condolences to you and your family.

Thank you all

Hopefully her birthday will remain a special memory. Good that you all saw her so recently too x
