I've been in a state of panic all day since finding out that my mum is in hospital AMU with chest infection/covid. I'm currently 100 miles way with work and my brother is taking care of my dad who is utterly helpless without my mum ... and I'm feeling very anxious for both of them.
Hospital say she is stable and she was fast asleep when my nephew went to see her earlier. Doctors currently doing tests and evaluating treatment/pharmaceutics. Just fearing some awful outcome and I can't get there until tomorrow when I will need to juggle so many balls in the air -work, my dad, my mum - and keep up a strong front for all concerned. My brother just seems to take everything in a matter of fact way, but all I can feel is anxiety - heart racing, retching from fear, and a feeling of extreme panic which won't calm down.
Could just do with some words of reassurance or encouragement from those on this forum who 'get' what I am going through.
