Great newsQuick update. Went to see herthis morning. She was awake and reasonably responsive. She got tearful because she thought she'd never see me again. Her daughter came over from Coventry and has sat with her for a couple of hours.
Thank you all so much for your kind words and thoughts. It genuinely means such a lot. A great Sky Blue family!
Love to you all x
Don't feel guilty. Even professionals struggle to know these things without the tests.After tests, she has sepsis, low oxygen intake, anemia, and pneumonia. I phoned hospital just now (9.10 pm) and they said she's had a blood transfusion and is on an antibiotic drip, so fingers crossed. I just feel so guilty not realising she was so poorly.
Thanks SBD. It's a weird feeling. It's like feeling guilty about surviving a disaster and you being a survivor. I'm sure I'll get over it when she's home. I've had loads of support from social services etc. I've got her into a day centre twice a week and have all sorts of alarms fitted around the bungalow for falls etc. Everyone has been so kind and helpful. Feeling really emotional at the moment. Thankfully, I have fantastic neighbours who have rallied round me today.Don't feel guilty. Even professionals struggle to know these things without the tests.
Honestly mate, when I said about mum in the summer, we were there in the day she was fine. Started feeling unwell around 9pm, by 10.30 downhill, dad called the ambulance at midnight and it was really very close, so dont beat yourself up, once it takes hold it's very rapid and was beginning to shut down organs. Hopefully you've caught it in time too.After tests, she has sepsis, low oxygen intake, anemia, and pneumonia.

I was told she might be home tomorrow.
Glad to hear there have been some positive updates.My eldest daughter travelled all the way from Nottingham to see my missus in hospital. It's only her stepmum, but she is very close. It took her 3 train changes and nearly a 3 hour journey to get to Worcester Royal, bless her. I met her at the station. Then she had to journey back this evening. She won't get back home until around 10pm.
We're all extremely humbled by the kind messages of support from you all. My faith in human nature is truly restored. Bless you all. Not completely out of the woods yet, but in a far better position.
Much love, Baz, Wendy and family.
Bloody hell mate. Just catching up with this thread. What a bloody roller coaster. I everything is ok, and as others have said that you’re finding some time to look after yourself too.My lovely wife a few years ago. She's now 75 but still as lovely as ever.

I'm just going up there now (10.15). I've tried phoning the ward but no one is picking up.@Joe King
I hope your wife is home today.
The discharge procedures in a lot of hospitals can be a bit hit and miss - I’m being polite - so it’s possible that it might not happen today. I’m only saying it’s possible and hopefully all will go to plan.
Try not to worry in that event, it’s just often how these things go. Think how delighted you would have been a few days ago if you had been told she would be home tomorrow!
Hopefully you will be reunited at home later today.
My son is in hospital at the moment Houch, and has caught the flu since being in. Think they’re right about the germs.I was told she might be home tomorrow. They actually said there were too many germs in the hospital!
I hope he gets well soon!My son is in hospital at the moment Houch, and has caught the flu since being in. Think they’re right about the germs.
He’s improving now. bad case of gastroenteritis, lost all his strength, couldn’t stand etc and got severely dehydrated and now the flu. So, he’s ok ta.I hope he gets well soon!
