Should I visit DD this weekend?

[Hoppinggreen]

DD seems to have settled into Uni pretty well, good balance between work and play (I think) but has been ill for the last 2 weeks. She got the usual Freshers flu and seemed to get over that but then went downhill again yesterday after spending Monday afternoon outside at a sporting event. She had a bit of an "episode" yesterday morning walking to a lecture and couldn't breathe and her vision blurred. She phoned a friend (luckily she has quickly made good friends) who came and met her and helped her back to her room. She got an Docs appointment and actually fell asleep in the waiting room. Her BP was very high and her oxygen was low and the Doc did ask if she could have been spiked but she hadn't as she wasn't even out the night before.
She is staying in her room for now but is coughing a lot and not sleeping well and feels awful, she has asthma and was hospitalised for it a couple of times when young so I always worry about her breathing
I am thinking of going to see her on Sunday but DH thinks I am being OTT. Its under 2 hours away and I have no plans that day - should I go? Or at least ask DD if I should? I don't want her to feel smothered but I am worried.
Her BF is there and she has nice friends, part of me thinks I should leave her to it but part of me thinks she needs her Mum
Honest opinions please

I'm usually a let them get on with it type person but in this case I'd ask her if she wanted me to come or if she wanted to come home until she's feeling better.

I went home in the first term for a long weekend because I had freshers flu. 2 girls on my floor were sent to the hospital wing (do they have them anymore?) which was miserable.
Id ask, if she is in halls I would, it’s miserable to be unwell there.

I would, yes. Ignore the Mumsnet "they're over 18- they need to be completely cut off from any parental help or support" brigade.

It's a no brainer for me - I'd heat up some soup and pop it in a flask and take it down to her along with some other comforting goodies.

I wouldn't necessarily stay too long - I'd play that by ear, but for sure I'd visit. I'd also bring her home for recuperation if I felt it necessary.

OP this is so lovely of you. My parents wouldn’t have done this for me at uni and I have to say at times it made me feel a bit alone and abandoned! Well done x

So glad she is returning to the nest for some TLC. Ideal for her.

Mine got glandular fever at uni - it was all the rage.

I am sure that a few days with Mum and Dad will be the best thing.

Well done OP! Your DD is lucky to have a caring mum who makes her feel unconditionally loved, I’m sure it’ll do her good to be home.

As long as you are trusting your gut it sounds like your parenting is fine 👍

Fantastic op! Spoil her a bit.

She sounds quite ill.
It's good you're bringing her home if only for the weekend.
If she's not better by Sunday don't let her go back.
Young people are not good at assessing medical issues.
Actually I often think many on MN are not either.
They tend to underestimate possible severity.
I guess it's due to lack of experience.
She's lucky to have you.
All the best to her and to you.

Thanks everyone
Back home now and shes tucked up in bed with a Chai Latte and her cat!
I think she will be ok after a couple of days rest and DH will drive her back on Sunday.
The security guard at halls (who kindly let me park where I wasn't supposed to) said that it doesn't matter how old you are you sometimes need your Mum

Really pleased that your DD is back home with you, Op 🙂

Edited post because I hadn’t seen your update.

I’m glad she is at home with you. She needs some TLC and someone to keep an eye on her.

Make sure she goes back with multivitamins which conatin enought vitamin D.

And the first lot of washing is in the machine 😁

Of course it is

I’d go if that close. Dodgy breathing and a history of asthma. If she’s fine, take her for lunch. Win, win.

Aah just seen she’s home. Mine is post uni and 24 living in London. She has still come home on occasion when ill.
