My sister.

Sorry to hear the bad news Such a shame you are so far away from her.
I'm sure your nephew will be able to see them, as they will be classed as vulnerable. X

An update on my sister, not a very good one. Worrying me!! She has been in the hospital a fortnight now, being very negative and refuses all the treatment they want to give her! She won't go in the scan or anything at all, she is so weak they want to insert a drip, oh no, no way will she allow it. My BIL had phoned this morning, he said she is very difficult to understand but she told him she won't have the drip, he said he got annoyed with her, in his way, he told her if she refuses treatment she will never get home. She told him she knows that. Why she is like this no-one knows. She has always been very negative about everything, maybe that has something to do with it. Her DS1 was going to try and get some information from the hospital later today so see how that goes. There are no visitors allowed and she won't answer messages or whatever. My BIL is so upset, he said he doesn't know what to do, I can understand that.

[Nanto2girls]

To be honest Lizzie, if that was my sister i would be feeling more sorry for BIL.

[Gemini]

Oh how difficult Lizzie. I'm sure your sister is scared and upset, but you would think accepting treatment and getting home would be best for all

[Lizzie48]

I don't know what to think Gem, I can only picture her in the hospital, alone, no visitors etc.

Sometimes Lizzie a person has just had enough and needs to make that call for themselves ,
such a sad situation , i feel for your BIL and your Nephew they must feel so helpless xx

[Lizzie48]

I think that is it Oma, DS1 was saying she has probably known about it for a long time, I think that as well. Yes, BIL does feel so helpless!

[Plantaholic]

Oh Lizzie, what a sad and hopeless situation you and your family are experiencing. I do feel very sorry for your Bil, he must feel very helpless.

[Lizzie48]

Thanks, he does sound helpless, I wish I could be there for them.

Oh Lizzie, what an awful situation, made much worse by no-one being able to visit your sister. Your poor BIL must be besides himself with worry. Has had (or one of your nephews) had a chat with the ward sister? If he explained that she is always very negative, but might not really mean what she's saying at the moment, Sister or a doctor may be able to help her to see the positive side of having some treatment. Especially if it will make her more comfortable and perhaps enable her to be at home. She may be frightened of the perceived side effects of treatment. There's also the point that having the various scans my help them to assess the best painkilling treatment if she needs it.

I do hope she will listen to someone. Sending you hugs. xxx

Sending love to you & your family Lizzie.xx

[Lizzie48]

Thank you, Daisy, her DS1 gets in touch daily with the specialist, they have had a mental examination this week to see if they can discover why she is being like she is. Maybe I will here more today, thanks again ladies.!

[Gemini]

It's so hard from you being in a different country with no chance of seeing her or helping at all Lizzie.
I know it's hard but try not to worry, and you take care of yourself xxx

[Lizzie48]

Thanks Gem, what with all the restrictions and the time of the year it is difficult all round.

[Daisy]

Lizzie, just sending hugs and hoping for the best. xxx
