My sister :o(
14 Answers
Hey all,
My little sister is in hospital with Pneumonia! She had a chest infection last week and by Saturday she was taken into hospital for Xrays and blood tests. She now has fluid on the lung which is being drained through a tube and they were checking her for TB!!! They stuck a camera down her chest yesterday and said she has no signs of TB but they can't rule it out completely. They say she also might have to go to London for an operation to remove the remainder of fluid from the lung! :o(
I am so worried about her. She is now in a nurse barrier room where you have to wash your hands when you enter and when you leave and wear a mask so you don't infect her. I am not allowed to see her tonight as I have a slight cold and I am not allowed to put her at risk! I miss her loads. I am so worried and just want her to be ok.
Please don't tell me any horror stories about when someone you know was ill... I just need cheering up! :o(

Its a worrying time for you, I'm sure your Sis will be home again in a day or so, why not distract yourself by being positive and making her a welcome home present and you can go over the top, just to show her how much you missed her. I'm sorry if this is sounding like I'm giving advice to a child, maybe you are, maybe you are an adult, the advice is the same!!
Hope she gets well and come home very soon!!

Ruby,
My mother in law was in intensive care for a week in March with the same thing. 3 days after finally being taken out the drug induced coma they had put her in she was in a side ward but unable to walk. 4 days after that she was allowed home.
Its a tough and exhausting thing to recover from but once the reason for the fluid buildup is found and the infecton is treated then Im sure you sister will make a very speedy recovery

I think all wards adopt the washing of hands before entering, as a precaution. She is in the best place and you have just got to accept that painful as it may be for you (not to see her) it is for the best.
Easy to say, but try not to worry. xxxxxxx
