Thank you all so much for your kind comments and thoughts

I've just spoken with my Aunt again and although the blood transfusion appears to have been a success, there are still concerns about my Mum's heart and because the hospital appear to be working a skeleton staff, as there aren't enough doctors available to diagnose this problem, she will be spending Christmas in hospital, so I'm going to leave first thing in the morning to visit her.

I passed on your messages to my Mum and she was thrilled by your support. So thanks once again for all your kind thoughts. I'm touched.

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas!

Here are a few festive links.
