Chris had a lovely surprise this evening. Mary, Chris's mum has made good progress over the last few weeks and has now been discharged from hospital and is in a nursing home pending assessment for a care home.
Chris rang the home to see how Mary was doing and was asked to ring back in 10 minutes. When she rang back she was pleasantly shocked to hear her mum speaking to her. The nurses had brought Mary to the phone so she could speak to Chris and the pair of them had a good old chin wag for 20 minutes. Chris's face was a picture as she chatted to mum and I could hear the Mary we used to know coming through now and then.
It is such a relief to know Mary is making good progress and that she is happy in the home. I think this is a big weight lifted off Chris's mind. It means that now, not only can Chris see her mum when ever she can get back to Essex, she can also speak to her more regularly on the phone, an option not available whilst she was in hospital.
