firstly I want to a big thank you for all your lovely comments, support and thoughts. It really means more than I can say. So please know it's much appreciated, and has been a big comfort to me in the tricky time
This morning we finally got a diagnosis on Mum. She has a clot in her lung and a cracked rib. The clot caused caused her to pass out she fell and cracked her rib. She will need to go on Warfarin for the next 6 months. I'm only finding out now actually how close it's all been. She was actually in the resuscitation room when she first arrived at emergency. If she had not gone to hospital, she probably would have died. And if she doesn't take the Warfarin there's a 5-20% chance she could die in the next 3 months. All this news leaves me feeling both relieved that they found it and there is a treatment, but also slightly strange, freaked out, somber and I dunno something how all close it's been and was. I'm sorry I'm not being very articulate and a bit somber. I just feel slightly weird.
Anyway it's wonderful they've found it and we finally have a diagnosis and there is something they can do about it. She will probably stay in hospital from the weekend. But maybe tomorrow. thanks again for all your lovely messages.

ohhh Jess! isn't it a horrible, horrible feeling seeing & hearing the your parent is sick.
I hope she takes it easy & gets better really quickly so you can give her a massive hug (after the rib is healed)

So sorry to hear all this has been happening Jess. Give your Mum a great big hug and an extra special mothers day on Sunday. It's good that there is a treatment and it's even better to stay positive, the power of positive thinking is a wonderful thing! Thinking of you and your Mum this weekend :)
Not knowing is horrible, I'm glad they have been able to make a diagnosis & I hope things continue to improve. I wish you both a very special & happy mother's day x
**sigh of relief**
So glad they found out & that everything looks like it will be okay!
Thinking of you hon.
Hey jess, glad your mum is going to be ok, how scary it must have been for you. Phew. You might feel a bit weird for a few days while you process all that's happened, I'm sure you will be back to normal soon. Say hi to your mum, does she know there are all these people out there thinking of her, and you? Hope so xo
Having scrolled further down your blog I've come to this, and now know what was wrong with your mum. I'm so sorry, sounds frightening BUT she'll be fine, she's been diagnosed and is on the right mediation. You're bound to be shaken by all this,"courage", as they say in French!
