My 91yr old mum had to be rushed to hospital one night at the beginning of April with a suspected infection (not Covid-19) & probable TIA. I'm her son & carer but couldn't go with her & couldn't visit because of the Coronavirus protocols. First of all I've got to commend the paramedics/ambulance guys who were brilliant in their understanding of the situation as mum has dementia & it was very hard not being able to go with her.
Also, due to the dedication & care from ALL the staff in ECU & Ward 9 mum was able to get back home just over a week later. They also put up with a continually worried son phoning a lot to find out how she was & what was happening. The staff were extremely helpful & totally understanding & I have nothing but admiration how they dealt with me, & must be dealing with many other family members, during this extremely trying period.
My heart-felt thanks go out to ALL of them for taking such good care of my mum in what must be an extremely difficult time for all hospital & ambulance staff.
