Better news!

So happy! Mum is much improved! She's understanding and remembering and speaking a little (albeit very quietly).
She doesn't remember us being down earlier in the week at all and doesn't remember most of the week and what actually happened to her but has definitely made big progress since tuesday for which I am so happy. Still not sure what has happened to cause this. Maybe the MRI scan she is to have sometime next week might be able to give us some clues.
She still has a long way to go so will probably need to stay in hospital for some time.
Finally i'll be able to sleep better tonight :-)

Drove down this morning and back up this evening so am officially knackered.
OH doesn't drive so the 8 hour round trip was all down to yours truly but was definitely worth it.
