I've failed to keep this blog going, life and it's struggles have just taken over.

Finally, we got some snow, all of an egg cup full. LOL! The picture to the left is a view (if you can call it that) from my bedroom window. My car is the blue Ford Focus.

The photo's to the left and right are things that I have passed everyday since Friday and before that for the week when my mum first got admitted to hospital. The image to the right is just outside the hospital, it's pencils that move around in the wind. To the right it's Agnes the wooden horse, situated just in the corridor outside my mum's ward.

Unfortunately she was re-admitted last Friday with breathing problems again. To cut a long story short, the hospital discharged her without diagnosing exactly what was wrong with her. A couple of weeks ago they diagnosed and treated her for Pneumonia, but it turns out that due to the chemo wash she had for her bladder cancer, her immunity had dropped and it caused her to develop an allergy of some kind to our bird, which made her develop some sort of fluid on the lungs. They are now treating her with steroids, 12 a day. The last chest x-ray showed that her chest is clearing with the treatment, so fingers crossed she continues to make good progress. She also had a CT scan today, but we won't know the results of that for 24 hours. We had to get rid of the bird, which was a shame because we'd had him for about 10 years, but mum's health is more important.

Speak of the devil, here she is to the left, in her hospital bed. I think she'd kill me if she knew I put this picture up, not exactly the most flattering. LOL!

Anyway, she's home now, got discharged earlier.......Thank goodness. :-D
