Mil taken to hospital

My lovely MIL has been taken to hospital with chest pains.

Happened late last night SIL only let dh and I know this morning (grrr not the first time she has done this - then later complains it is all on her)

Saw MIL Wednesday evening she was in good spirit and laughed a lot. However she is 89 and frail this year she has several times been at a point where i thought we would loose her. However chest pains has not happened before.

I know many do not get on with their MILs but Oh I love mine she is wonderful. really dont want to loose her so close to having lost my mother (last year) selfish I know and not really sure what the point of this post is. Just really worried about her and annoyed with SIL

Thank you and yes she is lovely. If I can make just half the MIL she has been in 22 years I know my son and daughters in laws will feel they did ok.

I hope she's on the mend soon.

It may be that your SIL thought she was doing you a favour - not worrying you unnecessarily late at night. Who notified SIL?

If it is the case that you would always want to know, then you both need to explain to your SIL that she must contact you no matter how late or how trivial, or not, the issue is.

Mil is thankfully fine and is back home..

SIL knows we want to know but she makes the choice to not call us (so she can later complain it is " all on her") There is a phone cascade SIL first 1 am 2nd (as I work closer than DH does) dh 3rd NDN 4th... So when her carers come twice a day. they will call after the cascade if it is needed.

It is not the first time that this has been a issue and SIL IS aware we want to be informed. Just doesn't wish to let us know..
