  • Hello Bellally,

    I'm sorry to hear about your mom's condition. It sounds like a challenging and worrying time for you.

    It's important to continue reaching out for medical support and guidance during these moments. While I can't provide medical advice, I encourage you to keep communicating with healthcare professionals and expressing your concerns about your mom's well-being.

    It's also important to take care of yourself during this difficult time and with that in mind I want to share this page from our website with tips on how to take care of yourself while navigating this difficult phase. I hope it can help a little.

    With best wishes to you and your mum,

    Thank you renata mum seems a little brighter eating a little but it's hard to get fluids in her when she's asleep  in the end when she wakes up she has some water thanks ever so much for all your advice much appreciated xx
