Hi All,

Just a lil update – MY GRANDMA IS BACK HOME!!!!

Me and my Mum decided that she were ready to go home and my Grandma felt ready aswell, even though she couldn’t remember were “home” was!!

She is happy as larry though with not a care in the world! Its us that are scared!

She still has the carers going in the morning to help her shower and dress and then at bedtime but everything else my Mum does or I do if I aint at work. It’s tiring!!!

She has one of them lifelines on also but if something does happen I just hope that she remembers to press the button!

She isn’t as active now as she were before all this happened, going to do her little bit of shopping tire’s her out for 2 days but she is happy to stop in most of the time now.

I will say Addison Court have been very good to her, and they have told us that if we want any advice or help then to call them straight away which I thought were very good of them.

We know that the build up on her brain is going to happen again, we just don’t know when and there is nothing we can do to stop it.

Until then our aim is to keep her happy and safe. That’s all we can do.
