I am so sorry to hear that, hopefully the oxygen will allow her body to fight the infection instead of working to get the oxygen (hope that makes sense) and whatever antibiotics they are giving her can work. Will be thinking of you.

Morning
I rung the hospital and her oxygen levels have improved, I asked a LOT of questions and the nurse told mum so she video called me! Never ever been so happy to see her lovely face. She looked rested and was much more chatty than yesterday.
thank you all for being here.Nevertheless she persisted.11 -

Brilliant news Buffy. Hope the improvement continues. XXXI Believe.....
That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.
happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy1 -
Glad to hear the update Buffy. Was thinking of you.

Visiting mum was ok yesterday, far more alert and with it. Cough is a shocker. Ward is crazy
Took the dogs to the groomers, sorted the recycling And I am so tired!
I am going to have a nap in the hope that post hospital I won't be so knackered.Nevertheless she persisted.6 -
Visiting Mum yesterday was awful. She is so unwell. Had an hour on the phone with my best friend who talked me down. And then two with my eldest sister who will come over if needs be.
Today was better tho I am tired and frustrated, things are improving in tiny tiny tiny ways. I managed to clean out the very neglected bunnies, hoover and put washing away.
I have continued to use my CC and pay it off with my savings. I haven't touched my wages so I should be able to balance it out a bit.
Need to deal with car insurance.
Doctors and nurses are all doing their jobs just need Mum to do hers. Send prayers please XX
She was brighter today.Nevertheless she persisted.7 -
I am trying in the midst of all this to make some plans for 2023.
1. Save a £1 a day (backwards)
2. 365 challenge.
3. 200 to the ISA (as normal)
4. 200 to extra savings
5. 400 to general savings. (insurance mainly and car of course)
6. Anything spare to the loan - to be gone in 6 months.Nevertheless she persisted.8
