Back to ICU...

I saw Mum during Saturday. She is in much better condition than when I last saw her. However, in the euphoria of her leaving ICU I had forgotten that she is still very ill.
She needed an oxygen mask to breath and was still mumbling, making it difficult to understand what she is saying. She is also still a little confused. However her blood states are good and kidney function is much better.
@4am I was woken by the hospital - mum's breathing has deteriorated due to an infection in her lungs, but they do not know if it is a new infection or the old one has returned. They has taken her
back to ICU (Pencarrow ward this time) to give her help with her breathing - by mask at first but if not enough will need to put her properly back on the ventilator again.
Fingers crossed this is just a blip.
