Hi folks, just to ask for your thoughts prayers or whatever. My Mum had a
heart attack yesterday and is in hospital, unconscious and non responsive.
The nursing care she's getting seems to be excellent, and the medical team
are very kind and sensitive, but my poor old Dad is having trouble coming
to
terms with the way things are, they've been married 55 years and my Mum's
has overcome so many things he thinks she's going to do it again. I fear
that this time she won't. I'm sleeping at the hospital tonight, like last
night, so any tips on how to sleep sitting up?
It does mean, Noreen, that your squares, though finished may take a while
to
get to you, but I 'm sure you won't mind. Also that the NYCO coat (which
is
now too big to lug to & fro the hospital) may have to wait. the
glove/mittens from knitty.com might get on though, and I might start a
pair
of socks for soon to be son in law, there's nothing like size 11 socks for
mindless knitting!!
I hope I can post better news next time, but I'm very fearful not, and I
do
know I can rely on you lovely folks to hold us up
Thanks

As for sleeping upright, roll a towel for a neck roll and try to curve it
around so your head is less likely to loll to one side.
Prayers for your mom and dad. Just went through this with my Grandmother in
denial and my Grandfather's passing. Just be there for your dad.

Hugs,

Hi folks, just to ask for your thoughts prayers or whatever.

Christine, my prayers are with you and your family. Many times the staff can
find a roll-away bed or a recliner for a family member to use at night.

Keep us posted.
