Thanks for your experiences and advice

Mum was discharged this morning - we took dd to visit her every single day (usually twice a day) - for a while I was scared mum wasn't coming home. And then I knew they both needed the contact to boost them.

DD loved having granma home today. She was thrilled to be there doing normal stuff. Seeing both her grandparents together. We have been very honest with dd (more honest than we have been with mums intellectually disabled sister) and she has coped wonderfully well. We have talked through the breakdowns. Explained things mum has mentioned at an age appropriate level (ct, MRI, blood tests etc). DD has asked questions so I believe we are doing the right thing


I'm glad mum is home and things for all of is can return to a semblance of normal and we can get dd back on track emotionally. Hopefully this is the last drama for quite a while!
