Mum's in the ED tonight after her fall 6 days ago (well 2 falls in two weeks). I'm super worried. Delayed concussion ABI IV (she only has vision in one eye and now the other is gone) this is not good.
Her life is about to change drastically and it's going to be an awful adjustment for her and I just feel so sad.
i'm not sure how to go about this.
Iโm so sorry; this is such a hard thing to go through. Further to what Thornbury witch suggested, it can be helpful to visit around mealtimes or when things need to be done. One time my mum was in hospital, I tried to visit regularly to help with her meals, etc., as the staff were run off their feet. It also means you can keep on top of what treatment is happening and help provide medical info to the staff, too
