Posted in Visits to Mum

Thanks for the comment DeeDee :-) I am nearly ready to set off for the train... have spent this morning sorting out stuff at home so N doesn't have too much to do on top of work & keeping kids from fighting, and it's a glorious morning. The out of hours doctor came to see Mum at about midnight last night! There were a couple of answers to prayer WRT the timing. Earlier I had said to N (after hours of fruitless attempts to contact either Mum or her neighbour by phone) that if God could work out the timing for my clearance to come through for working with children (which it did by the lunchtime post on Saturday, after several months, so I could work with them on my own at Church on Sunday), then he could work out timing so the doctor could see Mum. Well, God did it again. He seems to make a special point of making things happen absolutely at the last minute, and I say that respectfully. So many times things have happened when it was really too late for earthly intervention, but still in time. Good for my faith, ha! Well, yesterday he did it again. I rang the neighbour at a quarter past ten - just as he arrived back from holiday. He literally had to put me on hold to let his wife in at the door! He has been marvellous and been there when I couldn't be. Then I had a phone call from him just after midnight to say the doctor had been, and to fill me in on everything, and after all those phone calls when I couldn't get hold of Mum, and another neighbour being unable to attract her attention to let her know the doctor was coming, Mum heard the door and answered it to the doctor! Even though it was midnight! I had just got back to sleep when the doctor phoned to give the same details I had just had (!) - basically she could find nothing physically wrong and Mum is otherwise mentally okay (knows time, who the doctor was etc.) except that she was worried about Dad being 'out'. She (the doctor) wasn't able to run full tests so J (the neighbour) has sorted out for Mum's own doctor to come after lunch today. I will also be there, so will M's cleaner, so will the nice policeman (like in books, LOL!), so will J, who has cancelled his plans for today, bless him, so it will be like Piccadilly Circus for a while! Anyway, time I went. Still nervous of course. I hope this is a good opportunity to get more regular care in for Mum and maybe make progress in various other directions. Most of all I pray it will be something that can be treated with antibiotics, and also that I can cope with it if she goes on insisting Dad's missing. |
