Hopefully this evening I might even add a card here.

Good news! just received a call to say she can go home, so I shall be going to fetch her shortly and   make sure she's settled in at home, I do love my dear Mum, I'm so pleased she's alright. 
Thanks for all your support.

Hi everyone,
 I'm just letting you know I'm signing off for a few days as my Mum has been taken ill, she's in hospital and I need to be there when I can and take care of my Dad.

 ~ Good Sunday morning to you,
 just a quick update though not much to report, Mum's still in a lot of pain, she's not eaten for 3 days the Doctors think it may be kidney stones but still unsure. 
I will post again when I get time. Thank you for your kind messages to my Mum.

Take care, hugs to you all
