Update
I called the hospital earlier. Mum is fairly bright but still confused. The good news is that she has been off the BiPap for a good 8 hours today [shock] From one hour to 8 is quite some jump!
Obv. she remains critical although we are more hopeful now considering todays progress.
Dd1's ear is still swollen and sore, she has an infection and I am taking her to hospital tomorrow for the ENT's to have a look at it, I just need her not to have to stay in now and that'll make my Christmas. I know Mum won't be home, but Dd1 not having to have surgery will make me a very happy Spooky.
